Posts here on DU that highlight that meme as accurate/true should receive appropriate consideration and attention, just sayin'.

1. Yup

we see the crimes of the "Godless communist" often blamed on atheism here on DU.

[Pope George Ringo II]

2. Laughingstock gonna laughingstock.

Reality isn't really a concern for people who conflate Chinese authoritarianism with atheism.

3. And what of those who point out that the authoritarians in question are atheists?

[uriel1972]

4. If they are atheists then fine point them out as atheists...

however, authoritarianism is not linked to/caused by atheism...

There is nothing that atheism is that requires or prevents authoritarianism, there is no rule book for all atheists that has examples of such behavior singled out as holy and to be admired and copied.

5. I suppose one could chalk it up to hate of atheists

That’s certainly why the wingnuts do it. Doesn’t seem like much of a stretch for those who repeat the same talking points.

6. A leap of something on your part.

Agreed?

13. Stalking:

20 replies by you in this post:

Is that also stalking?

Of course not. It is dialogue.

14. Dragging in an irrelevant post from another group from 5 years ago and before you got here

Yeah, that’s kinda creepy stalking behavior and I’m sure you feel clever for doing that, but believe it or not you aren’t the first person to try that underhanded shit on DU and it’s pretty much universally regarded as creepy stalking behavior. So, no I’m not confused about that. You’ve also been called out for it here by others who weren’t confused about it either and you know what I’m talking about. So yeah, like you say I’m sure you have managed to convince yourself, but even that would be a pretty good trick.

If you think your creepy stalking behavior intimidates me, you probably need to rethink why I’m reposting all your creepy stalking behavior posts. I just get a chuckle out of why you’d do so and enjoy the space in your head I’m occupying rent free.

Cheers!

Edited to address your edit:
My posts are addressing a subject relevant to this group in a thread posted just today. If you think that in any way compares to a completely irrelevant post made well before you got here in a group you never participated in, it’s just not too hard to figure out who is confused.

So please keep trying to justify your creepy stalking behavior, Gil. Says a lot about you

[guillaumeb]

15. Has that 5 year old opinion changed?

Have you evolved?

[Major Nikon]

16. How much deeper down the rabbit hole are you going to go with your creepy stalking behavior?

Does the number of times you double down on your creepy stalking behavior make it better or worse? Looks more like a devolution.

7. Haters gonna hate

[trotsky]

17. The same person pushing that meme has posted directly from deplorable sites before.

Each time when he's gotten caught, he has diverted or just deleted the evidence.

[NeoGreen]

18. I'm not suggesting that it is only...

...any one person or poster on DU nor am I directing any specific action. I'm just sayin'.

On a side note, I am amused by the fact that there are, at the moment, 17 replies to this OP, but I can only see 4 of them.

I find it clarifying and very refreshing.

[trotsky]

19. Oh certainly.

Not to say that multiple people haven't attempted to push the same meme in the past... but they are all banned or departed.

It will always rear its ugly head though. Some people just can't stand critical analysis of religious beliefs, so they lash out.

[Pope George Ringo II]

20. Yeah, I'm seeing 6 now.

It's amazing how much the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved once you exhaust the amusement value of watching the group laughingstock getting dribbled like a basketball.

[NeoGreen]

21. "exhaust the amusement value"...

...Yep, happened a long time ago for me.

If I wanted to read that kind of rhetoric, I'd go to some places like... ...free republic.
