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.

that's a convenience sample of lemmy users that weren't banned or defederated yet and bothered to get there. response from, say, HN could be different

Let's put it to the test:

That said, I'm mildly curious as to what influence if any the Collinses have on "real", religious fascist pro-natalists, but not enough to go spelunking in the sewers to find out.

If you refuse to teach the kids category theory and queer communism there's no point. Have all the kids you want. The empire is still going to collapse. Knowledge has moved beyond the empire.

this but unironically but ironically but not in the way they're being ironic

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
