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.

Sounds like heās been huffing too much of whatever the neoreactionaries offgas. Seems to be the inevitable end result of a certain kind of techbro refusing to learn from history, and imagining themselves to be some sort of future grand vizier in the new regimeā¦
Iām seriously wondering how much of yudās most recent crap is an attempt to grift for thiel money and right-wing attention by poorly imitating Yarvin
remember that he was on the Thiel gravy train then they broke over Trump. Now itās Vitalik Buterin and Ben Delo from the crypto contingent.
It makes sense that he would want back on the only grift train that ever treated him so well. Post-Trump/Vance Thielworld is likely to be a particularly sad place, though.
Hey, we now know that you can even become a VP pick if you grift hard enough, there are real prizes to be won now
