Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
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 ā 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 really should write more about technofascism while I still have electricity, clean water, a relatively unfractured global information network, and there arenāt too many gunshots outside

I have an extremely rough draft up on our writing community MoreWrite: here it is. it very much deserves to be restructured and expanded; I wrote this first draft in a hurry, and since then Iāve both gotten some very solid recommendations for prior work in the area to read and cite from @dgerard@awful.systems and Iāve experienced more instances where technofascist methods were used to take control over open source projects away from their communities.
oh I didnāt realize this sub existed, shoulda put my old essay there instead. mb
nah all good! our writing community isnāt meant to be containment, itās just a different category with different expectations (mainly that feedback should be constructive, since MoreWrite is for writers posting their own work)
