 I want to write a dedicated article about [[lb:New Atheism]] at some point, so I'll try to keep this brief. I'll also note that this is one of the ideologies I disliked //before// realizing they were Post-Modernist.
-New Atheists clearly exemplify all the behaviors of a Post-Modern ideology and I felt a little embarrassed once I realized this. Their position is inherently irrational((:fn:>The idea that capital-G God doesn't exist and if he did we should reject him. In addition, they believe that religion has no positive effects.)) and they're selective about facts.\\

Their position is inherently irrational((:fn:>The idea that capital-G God doesn't exist (I'll note I'm not a Christian or follow an Abrahamic faith – my point here is that the most rational position to take is that you //don't know//, not that God //doesn't exist//) and if he did we should reject him. In addition, they believe that religion has no positive effects.)) and they're selective about facts.\\
 Plus, like many Post-modern ideologies, they tend to single out one entity as the main threat – Christianity – and mostly ignore other religions.

 As far as I know, the following ideas are tied to SocJus/Post-Modern thought in storytelling:
-  * [[lb:damsel.in.distress]] being universally negative.
+  * [[lb:damsel.in.distress]] being universally perceived as negative.
   * [[lb:manic pixie dream girl|Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]. I believe the term originated with them and is considered universally negative.
   * [[lb:ludo-narrative.dissonance]]: coined by Games Journalists, probably the pre-eminent example of being ideologically compromised.
