Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

I thought at the end of the article theyād provide a modicum of push back by sharing the perspective of someone outside the cult, but nope, they round it out with a āself-professed doomerā EA, who they introduce as (and only as):
Objection, relevance?
nvm found the relevance, Linkedin tells me he was involved in hosting Lesswrong for 9 years lol
fuck now I gotta burn my bellroy shit.
Bellroy stuff is kind of in my wheelhouse for minimalist manly man stuff; luckily I havenāt bought any.
