There are plenty of pointed criticisms of Intelligent Design. We don't need to jazz it up.

They generally present their views as a revival of the traditions of Western civilization. Unlike ordinary reactionaries who nostalgically view the past as the good old days, neoreactionaries are futurists who are more critical of the past; for example, by rejecting the ideals of the Enlightenment while supporting a type of neo-feudalistic view of what society should be ( <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/libertarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libertarianism</a> ruled by <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarianism</a>).

RationalWikiConversion therapy (sometimes called reparative therapy) refers to a wide range of pseudoscientific, homophobic, and/or transphobic practices. Those who practice it believe that people who are not heterosexual and/or are transgender can and should be "cured" of their status, and thus they believe that by practicing conversion therapy, they can change their sexual orientation or gender identity. These notions run contrary to the official positions of most of the world's governing bodies in the fields of psychiatry and psychology.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBT</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/conversiontherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conversiontherapy</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pseudoscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pseudoscience</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homophobia</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conversion_therapy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conversion_therapy</a>

RationalWikiThe Conehead skulls or Paracas skulls are deformed human skulls associated with the Paracas culture in what is now Peru. They are unnaturally elongated, giving a comparatively pointed shape. Most experts believe they are the result of artificial cranial deformation, a procedure well known to anthropologists in which the skull's shape is modified by tightly binding the head. Despite this, some people still believe they are gray aliens (or some other, equally silly thing). Other skulls with similar deformations have been found in many parts of the world, which only goes to show that aliens are among us all. Or that they were created by a widespread human cultural practice.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ufo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ufo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aliens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aliens</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conehead_skulls" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conehead_skulls</a>

RationalWikiCold fusion, also called Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) or Chemically-Assisted Nuclear Reactions (CANR) by its proponents, is the claim of nuclear reactions at relatively low temperatures, rather than at millions of degrees. The most commonly-touted system where cold fusion is supposed to occur is an electrolytic cell with a palladium cathode that is electrolyzing deuterium oxide (a.k.a. heavy water, 2H2O or D2O)), but most recent claims about energy production involve nickel and ordinary hydrogen.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/coldfusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coldfusion</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fusion</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pseudophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pseudophysics</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nuclearenergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nuclearenergy</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Cold_fusion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Cold_fusion</a>

RationalWikiRoy Marcus Cohn was a lawyer, a rabid anti-communist, a closeted homosexual and homophobe, a Jewish anti-Semite, a misogynist, and a quintessential DINO (a registered Democrat who almost exclusively supported Republicans). His career spanned from the beginning of the Second Red Scare up through the beginning of Donald Trump's career.In 1948, Cohn was hired on the same day he passed the bar exam by Irving Saypol, US Attorney in New York, allegedly with the help of family connections. During his time in the Attorney General's office, he assisted the prosecution in 1949 of eleven members of the Communist Party USA leadership, including Gus Hall, under the Smith Act.

RationalWikiMike Cernovich, also known as "Weird Mike" or "Juicebro", is an alt-right talker with a plethora of stupid views. He has two main gigs: promoting conspiracy theories and whining about "weak" liberals. Before he became famous, Cernovich was a First Amendment lawyer who spent his time promoting MRA / internet tough guy views. Cernovich said many, many crazy things about women, rape, and transgender people which he has since attempted to delete. Fortunately, we've archived all of his often-sexually-explicit insanity for your viewing displeasure. Not surprisingly, Cernovich was an early member of the Proud Boys.Since then, Cernovich has become famous for promoting conspiracy theories, often working with Alex Jones or Paul Joseph Watson. Ironically, Cernovich's lifestyle is only possible because he's supported by alimony from his rich ex-wife.

RationalWikiBlue Lives Matter is a counter-movement to the Black Lives Matter movement, primarily serving as a deflection towards issues of police interaction that African American people are more likely to face than other groups and to instead address the deaths that are directed towards law enforcement officers. In a similar vein to movements such as White History Month or It's Okay to Be White, it aims to glorify an already highly privileged class of people as a feel good message to themselves while ignoring the actual, insidious faults of the system that plagues law enforcement that cause the image of officers to be negative in the first place. The about page for the main Blue Lives Matter website, written in a flowery manner, even claims that the goal of Black Lives Matter is "the vilification of law enforcement."<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bluelivesmatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bluelivesmatter</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/blacklivesmatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blacklivesmatter</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Blue_Lives_Matter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Blue_Lives_Matter</a>
