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 cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    nsfw, and at a risk of beating a dead horse, but this article, although brief, does a decent job at connecting the dots between “silicon valley pronatalism” and regular ol’ nationalism/white supremacy and debunking some of their bullshit

      and at a risk of beating a dead horse

      None of us are doctors, so we cannot declare the horse legally dead. So please keep beating it so it doesn’t stand back up and turn us all into paperclips.

      small domino: Scott Alexander confessing to his friend that he’s learned a lot from the reactionaries, including that beating children up is the best way to educate them

      (dominoes toppling…)

      big domino: "And a Guardian journalist witnessed Malcolm [Collins] strike their two-year-old across the face for misbehaviour, a parenting style they apparently developed based on watching “tigers in the wild”. "

      just rationalist things

        Yeah.

        I had parents that did this shit (and more). Emphasis on “had”: I walked the fuck away from the whole goddamn lot.

        Does my fucking head in to see this kind of shit not only being given airtime but done so without criticism in the coverage.

        I don’t understand why the wife does not simply consume her husband, a parenting style I’ve developed from observing the noble praying mantis in the wild.
