Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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.

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

Ugh, what a piece of shit.

even some of the people who joined him on this disavowed him

Normal fascist shit.

Before his turn to zionism he dropped a lot of antisemitic dogwhistles.

For a Christian nationalist, zionism is an antisemitic dogwhistle

He also was too crazy for dr phil (source)

He’s probably malding over the fact that he doesn’t have Ben Shapiro’s career.

Yeah you are right on the zionism stuff, see also 'judeo-christian values' and how a lot of Jewish people hate it when people say that. I meant it more as a 'before the whole gaza invasion/genocide' thing. To show this anti-Semitic shit (in which I include his zionism) is a pattern, im not saying he had a 'come to Jesus moment' and suddenly repented his shit ways.

Normal fascist shit.

Indeed. He just went too mask off. Ironically in a way as he basically is doing that now re the (imaginary) people he says are further right than him.
