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.
So what exactly happens to people who get really into Scott et al. and then realize that theyāre racist? I mean people like OP who genuinely seemed shocked by how buddy buddy their āunorthodoxā intellectuals are with blatant racists.
Do they slowly disengage from rationalist-spheres, or do they just become cryptoracists like all the other idw types?
They start reading sneerclub and then see that the stereotypes about hwo horrible the place is are not true. Then they post, then they are lost.
Trapped in Acausal Robot Godās maze forever
We just cut out the middleman, no fancy simulation needed, we can torture ourselves well enough.
Also what the fuck?
is this trying to say ādiscrimination against racists is the real racismā? ā¦ Would that be āracismismā?
āshould we really treat violent racists any differently from how we would casually treat a neighbour? what is it really you expect me to do do? why are you so ridiculous?ā
just some casual afternoon reframing of violent racism and dehumanising anyone that isnāt like themselves, no biggie
at least one vein of this goes off into the vibes cluster that is TPOT
