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.
glancing at their profile, they have "what if I were king tho", something that claims to focus on "sensitive use of language" (it links to "wokism")
oh and to really add that flavour, they have this at the very top of their profile:
just a real winner of a human being that everyone would definitely want to be around
(e: jesus fuck I just looked at that political party too. wat.)
Dude came up with an unofficial wikipedia article naming dispute resolution process, used it on a single article, saw the mostly negative feedback...
And thought "you know what. I should build a political party around this and get Elon Musk on board".
A new plan to save America!

To paraphrase Jenny Nicholson: Nobody's watching your revolution except sneerclub, and we're only watching it as performance art.
Even fewer people are watching it because Xshitter has gone hard into "don't show any content on the site if you're not logged in". Get a fucking website, dude. And not your blog, last updated in 2015.
Meta: is that his plan all along? Maybe a few well placed sneer is what you need to save America.
