>Thiel is literally, openly gay
Gays have been pretty well absorbed at this point. It had already been like that in many of the European countries for awhile. Anons also don't like to mention is that right-wing parties like to amp up anti-woke culture warrioring which can be just as bad as what they're fighting against. I mean just to get people to fight over culture war issues so they can dominate the immediate situation, but they don't get traction doing that with gays anymore. It doesn't get people gnashing their teeth. More like "well that's your opinion" and nobody cares. It revolves around trans issues nowadays compared to the 1990s/2000s. I think it's very opportunistic.

I also think that shows how there's nothing inherently revolutionary about a sexual orientation. I don't have any self-identity issues with that though. You know this thing about what is "revolutionary" or not is more about what you do, not who you are, in my opinion. It's not an "identity" or an image. You're not automatically a revolutionary because you're a heterosexual either. You know what I mean.

>And besides, atheism itself is completely accidental to communism - some of the most functional communes had religious undertones.
I dunno about that. As to the role of religion in society, it has been pretty inseperable from a radical approach to secularism at minimum, and many of the communist regimes practiced state atheism, although they could also be very dogmatic and treat Marxism like a religion.
