Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? 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 you’ll 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 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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

      Oh sure, what I wanted to say was that decline implies that something gets worse, while I think he’s been always like that, but now he just feels safe to be open about it.

        It amazes me they all think they can be open about it. Amd all because they think because of Trump/Musk they have some vital momentum. (Bit shocked there were so many crypto/proto fascists, but still doesnt seem like they have the numbers or the sustainable momentum, see how Yarvin/Banning are afraid already).

          barring the hand of providence (ahem) I have to imagine we’ve got at least one more coup attempt ahead of us. and if it works they’ll benefit from having been vocally on board early. I can see why they’d take the gamble
