"None the wiser" is indeed an appropriate username! Please, tell us, by your snark I can assume you're most displeased with this collection of adjectives. But which ones in particular and why?

Do hippies frighten you because they represent a more egalitarian and prosperous ideology than your narrow minded brain can conceive of?

Do communists make you quake in your boots because you don't believe you could get on in a society where you might not be able to solve all of your problems with money? indeed, imagine if you might have to rely upon people liking you; I also fear for your ability to get on.

Is it the "drug fueled" portion, because you perhaps feel some right to tell other consenting adults (whom probably know much better about their bodies and their own lives than you do about yours) what to do on their spare time?

Or are you waking up to the fact that we, as a society, are becoming more secular[0], and thus you see the advance of atheism as an attack against the institution of your personal sky daddy?

And these are all reasonable things to think of you, since you only wave vaguely at a collection of adjectives while expressing some nebulous form of disdain. Perhaps either clarify the nature of your disagreement, or continue to persist in the shadow of intellectual doubt and fear you appear to be laboring under... which is a disease very common to people who appear to believe as you do.

I love this comment! It exposes all the hate. I wish I had the ability to respond like you. Good writing! (oh and if I wasn't clear, I agree with you. OP needs to back it up, examine himself, and stop trying to control or hate others)
Am I the only one who took the "decide for yourself" at face value? It's not even like digging something up, it says right on the author's GitHub.
Perhaps, but then again, I find that typically only people who find those terms odious would care enough to quote that particular passage from the github and then refuse to elaborate on their own personal opinion of it. I also find that people who engage in such hit and run tactics are, typically, not very courageous in their own beliefs, or they'd be full chested about it.
Holy shit, no. You are not!
