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 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.
more of a nsfw, a post on pointing and laughing at the fash. figured y'all may also enjoy reading it
(I should say there's a handful of places I don't entirely agree with the writing/references, but I don't think it kills the whole)
all their points about cville are pure post hoc speculation trash; this is way too close to the “but but violence is bad!”; laughing at the fash is good; beating up the fash while laughing is even better.
"it's easier for me to laugh than to go punch a nazi" was what I picked up from that part of it. and yeah, punching nazis has a long proven history of effectiveness
