    If Yud did his cult sermons IRL:

    yud walks out onto stage, wearing a hat with a 🚫 sign with a period under it

    Crowd: “Leader is wearing the silly hat!!! It’s a silly sermon! Prepare to laugh!!!”

    Yud: “There should be a gulag for low IQ people and Swedes!”

    Crowd: “Amazing joke, leader! We must now justify the humor!!!”

      Remember in the old Rationalist lore from SSC (in his liverjournal days) jokes are never just jokes. (Jokes are instead a weapon used by the feminists just like the nazis).

          Not really doublespeak but more them not following their own insights. (Why would they do that Soy? Glad you asked other Soy, because it isn’t about the insight, the insight is a tool to bash the ideologies they dislike, and with Scott that is often feminism).
