Your false dichotomy of every atheist is either a white supremacist or a communist is still completely batshit even if some fraction of new atheists fell into the far right pipeline.
Some new atheists went on to become fascist does not mean every person who followed r/atheism in 2010 is now a white supremacist or a communist, that's fucking insane.
I've always read it as more of a warning. Warning as to what will happen when you leave out the fundamental issues, who's interest will be then furthered, what will be ingrained in the conscious and subconscious of the masses.
And it's not even mine, it's a paraphrase of Chico Mendes.
