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.
more of a nsfw, a post on pointing and laughing at the fash. figured yāall may also enjoy reading it
I like most of this article but
did the law change
did they stop marching to the grave
idk the answer to the previous two questions but that he didnāt say is pretty sus
Charlottesville was an unmitigated disaster for the far right
credulous
the attack line comes from leftist podcasts
Weird to see this argument come back. Last time I saw it āwe only need to convince 10% of the population to fully believe in it, and science shows we will win all the time!ā it was being said by fascists a decade ago. Not sure if it makes sense, because there are true believers on the other side as well. Anyway, just wanted to mention how odd it is to see this argument be recycled after only seeing it on the far right a long time ago.
Not read it yet, but I do enjoy that Harris Dr Whoāed Trump.
I missed that (largely because I try to avoid taking in horserace content), got a link?
No I mean the whole āarenāt they weirdā matches that dr who episode. Basically Who gets disappointed with the PM he is traveling with, and tells her āI will end your carreer with a few wordsā and then whispers ādoesnāt she look tiredā to one of her aides.
Clip
oh, I thought there was a literal equivalent kamala-phrase to the one at play here
unless you mean kamala team literally said āarenāt they weirdā, in which case aāight I agree
(again: fuck horserace content, got too few damn spoons for that. which is in part why I have no idea where the change in tide came from - just happy itās present)
I meant the āarenāt they weird thingā yes.
(I should say thereās a handful of places I donāt entirely agree with the writing/references, but I donāt think it kills the whole)
all their points about cville are pure post hoc speculation trash; this is way too close to the ābut but violence is bad!ā; laughing at the fash is good; beating up the fash while laughing is even better.
āitās easier for me to laugh than to go punch a naziā was what I picked up from that part of it. and yeah, punching nazis has a long proven history of effectiveness
