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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)
Consider: making fun of the way they look not only hurts anyone who looks like them through no fault of their own (say, can only afford a shitty cut once every few months) but actively plays into the hands of those shitheels - they made you do a classism.
Let’s ridicule them for their garbage beliefs and their shitty actions; they sure deliver plenty of those.
do you have any thoughts on why these wealthy and powerful public figures have all chosen this extraordinarily unusual aesthetic
Yeah, why do they dress expensively but shit? My suspicion is so that the kind of elites the Kravattennazis don’t like can snub them. Gives them street cred, the “elites” don’t like them!
