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 so 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. Also just came back from Spider-Man: Brand New Day, movie was awesome)
side observation: Iām constantly finding myself being both 2051 and 1053 about this sorta thing
it feels like table stakes that anyone writing about this shit these days knows, and yetā¦
I mean Iām more than happy to extend grace to randos, but if youāre doing journalism, come on. Heās not just a guy with opinions! Heās a leading far right intellectual!
His Wikipedia intro tells you more than enough with no āallegedlyā in sight.
yeah, thatās about where I land usually too
I guess the thing is that I know how much āshithead with a columnā has become possible so I donāt really, off the cuff, know how journo most journos are
(I shall leave aside for the moment the entire tirade this makes me want to go on)
