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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Dem pundits go on media tour to hawk their latest rehash of supply-side econ - and decide to break bread with infamous anti-woke āexā race realist Richard Hanania
A quick sample of people rushing to defend this:
tracing going all in on left wing people arenāt real they canāt hurt you
I almost forgot how exhausting TW was.
Some of the 19 million 2020 Biden voters who didnāt vote in 2024? Maybe some of the 5-6 million they lost one the issue of aiding and arming a genocide in Gaza?
No, going more Nazi must be the way. Much wise, much centrist. Much exhausting.
At least he is using LLMs to blast away what is left of his critical thinking skills. If the effect is real he will be a vegetable in a week.
Dems do literally anything to materially oppose fascism, even in the most minuscule way challenge (impossible)
@swlabr
Are they all truly āDem punditsā? Or just assumed to be/claim to be?
The pundits in question are Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein. More accurately speaking they are liberals.
@swlabr
Ah okay. I thought one might be Yglesias and who knows where his politics truly are.
Donāt worry, they are buddies
I gave him a long enough chance to prove his views had changed to go read Hananiaās actual feed. Pinned tweet is bitching about liberals canceling people. Just a couple days ago he was on a podcast bitching about trans people and talking about how itās great to be a young broke (asian) woman because you can be exploited by rich old (white) men.
So yeah heās totally not a piece of shit anymore. Donāt even worry about it.
