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.)
Thiel has fully lost it, and as I assume nobody around him has warned him about how crazy this
manifesto found after the shootingoped in the ft makes him sound, so do the people around him.Sir, this is a Wendyās, also
did you get sucked up your ass so deep you forgot whoās on the reactionary side?
Depends on your perspective I guess, like if you imagine there are really āwe should destroy the internet and go back to the imaginary golden age before the internetā people those would be reactionary on that subject. I have never seen anybody honestly like that however.
On his reactionary side: I donāt get how his allies, he can stand them. I mean he must know they will come after him next. We know what they think of lgbt people.
i think itās reasonable to say that his influence campaigns and wealth will keep him safe for at least some time. guilty until proven rich and all that
big piles of money, and all the power bases heās accrued
thereās long precedent of collaborators who were instrumental in the projects of harm and suppression still being able to flourish throughout selfsame projects
i donāt know how much experience thiel has in actual politics, but chances are that heāll be given dead in the water projects that will just keep him busy and distracted enough to not do anything, should trump admin choose so, like this https://youtu.be/xxVsS9ZNUOU?t=193 (start from beginning for nuclear grade sneer on musk)
i hope thiel keeps writing these, because every minute he does he doesnāt spend on horrible shit like implementing them
for someone that runs a surveillance company he sure as fuck canāt help yapping about his plans
theyāre all just so fucking ā¦ smug
it appears they donāt think anything can possibly go wrong
Well, all tech shit is inevitable after all. (In their minds) see how they talk about the slop generators. (Or that āif I donāt steal the home somebody else willā guy).
i also like that implied statement that no other country than us has any agency at all, and internal affairs of a couple mentioned countries were really result of american activities
jesus christ
the amount of doublethink and newspeak this is attempting to push is remarkable
also afaik thiel isnāt one to regularly demean himself to writing tidbits such as this, is he? I donāt recall seeing nearly as many words from mr likes-it-private as I have from andreesen et al
Dindt he write a book on how democracy is over? Or incompatible with the modern world or something.
That reads like some bullshit youād find on r/iamverysmart on Reddit.
Maybe side effects of all the substances he uses to become the Ćbermensch.
