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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
re: election results. unfortunately iām not surprised or even disappointed by now. it makes me feel sad for my 2015 self and her naivete. she didnāt understand what a disgusting and evil culture she lived in
Š”Š»Š°Š²Š° Š£ŠŗŃŠ°ŃŠ½Ń. The world has failed you.
I donāt have too much coherent to say right now
fuck the fascists for what theyāve done and what they intend to do
fuck the neoliberals for doing their best to convince marginalized people that they shouldnāt defend themselves against a terrible fate
fuck the accelerationists for pumping shitheaded propaganda into the fediverse, for the victory lap theyāre taking now, and for the general idea that their revolution is worth our deaths
shitās about to get very hard and very weird and I canāt stress enough how important it is to be careful who you trust with your life
what a surprise, the thread all the leftist shitposters on mastodon boosted about how youāre a class traitor if you donāt vote for the Green Party (who I donāt buy as socialist) or āany other socialist partyā (fucking who??? am I supposed to write āsocialismā on my ballot in crayon???) conveniently went missing
anyway post your favorite fuckhead accelerationist here, mastodonās a shooting gallery tonight
i do love how the āanti-imperialistā protest vote against harris was a choice between like three or four putin apologists. the state of the US left is really fucked up and i donāt want to look at it ever again.
i bet the self-described antiimperialists going all for Southern Lebanon Parking Lot 2024 feel real smug right now
Didnāt the Green Party woman also just go āIām pro Israelā the day for the election or so? Which I think is one of the reason she might have picked up a few moves (the idea she might be more pro gaza I mean).
Iāve intentionally been avoiding feeds the last few days because I just do not have the headspace for it, but I quickly checked on shit now
and
fuck
strong agree
minor upside: itās going to be a good time to make lists of people who suddenly feel comfortable to mask off
fucking fuck this sucks
correct. keep receipts.
Yeah this is fucked up. I feel so bad for everybody (esp the Americans, but this will hurt the world). Shit this prob means I should start looking into seriously helping out locally when all this explodes into more international shit. (Which imho is the best you can do anyway, do things locally, build a bit of a support network for your community).
(Note Iām not American, but I think this will end badly, just the fucker stepping out of the paris accord for example, and all the weird blowhard fascists this will make feel emboldened to do more politics locally).
E: I really hope the people who go āthis is the same as in 2020, wait till all votes are countedā are correct and not on hopeium.
i think they indeed are on hopium/copium
I canāt tell, US elections have imho always been extremely dumb. (But, in the past decades+ ours have not been much better).
both by electoral college and by popular vote trump has advantage, and worse than that house and senate are republican now
Yeah, turns out this is the bad place.
Not surprised, still very disappointed, I feel sick.
are you US-based? very sorry, take care
yes, i am. iāve been plotting to get out for years but iāve been too depressed since my partner died to make any progress tbh. iāve no idea what to do
ugh that sucks, Iām sorry
