It feels like a lot of the posts on this sub are dishonest in some way. A few examples:
The title is just a strait up lie about what she’s saying. She’s not saying that she doesn’t care about black lives, like the title implies. She’s saying that she objects to identity politics and viewing the discussion of police violence through a racial lens. Maybe she’s wrong. Maybe it should be viewed from a racial lens. That’s a fair criticism. But instead the poster decides to strawman her views.
The title is saying the exact opposite of what he’s saying. He’s claiming that you can’t change politicians by ‘aligning’ them the way you can with AI.
Again, more dishonesty in the title. He’s not saying we should stigmatize it, not even “sort of”. He explicitly says so in the second sentence. He’s saying that we shouldn’t stigmatize OR ‘valorize’ it. He thinks we should be neutral towards it, think of them like everybody else.
Jesus, this one’s literally got it entirely backwards. She’s pointing out that both homophobes and people who are grossed out by a fetish defend their hatred by saying they’re “gross”. The poster has that correct. But she’s NOT saying that this makes ‘homophobes’ better, she’s saying it makes the people who are grossed out by fetishes just as bad as the homophobes.
Look, there’s plenty of people who pay lip service to rationality while failing to be rational themselves. But lets not lie about their statements to make them seem worse.
This is ‘sneerclub’, not ‘charitably summarise the opposition’s arguments club’
you can go make your own sub if you want to do that
Oh, you’re still here trying to refute /r/SneerClub or whatever.
hoes mad
look at this extremely offended dork
I’m sorry, but this post was barely half a page long. Obviously, it’s not rational and logical enough for me to interact with.
So, here’s a ts;dr version of my comment:
Which is it this time. Did we use too much context? Too little context? Did we take some fucked up shit at face value even if it was obviously only a joke, at least for now?
Actually, you only think we’re wrong because it confirms your political biases. I encourage you to read a little book called “The Scout Mindset” so you can better understand your error here.

Holy shit you are right, these sneerclubbers are evil.
E: hey, wanna earn some Dunning-Krugerrand coins.
the post doesnt say that? actually, the post seems pretty accurate–she only cares about the issue of police brutality when it’s framed in a way divorced from black lives.
the post sneers at ppl believing either throwing money at congress (yud) or using ai alignment techniques (reply guy) is the solution to lawmaking. again, seems accurate
that’s what “sort of stigmatize” means in the title in context. rn it’s not really valorized, so robot thinking we should stop valorizing is a context clue here
ctrl-f better, 0 results. stop being clueless
Strawmen on top of strawmen. 90% of the ‘critiques’ aren’t even problems. This entire sub’s invaders is just rationalists getting butthurt about people thinking critically once in a while rather than repeating the far-right story.
