I like that they're self-aware about their logo.

And explaining their logo, they keep talking about how God died.

That didn't strike me as much as the absence of the resurrection.

The site as a whole appears to have some really good stuff as well as some really weird stuff. But I see the OP's question has been answered elsewhere.

They seem to like saying "nonviolence". From what I've observed elsewhere (the mission field at https://www.facebook.com/groups/MennoNerds), that term is used by liberals claiming some sort of Anabaptist affiliation and indicates a mindset of active resistance to the use of force by even governments.

After reaching their Facebook page, I found Facebook's 'Related Pages'- one is a libertarian writer and two advocate anarchy.

Apparently, they're somewhere on the libertarian-to-anarchy continuum. Their lack of openness about WHO they are is fishy.

And despite their commitment to "nonviolence", they often seem comfortable being bedfellows with quite-violent movements, like antifa.
