Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 27th September 2026 - awful.systems
awful.systems
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 so 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.) (OT: 🎶 Do you remember…)

The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them.

    Edit is not delete. Oops.

    Anyway remmeber when he created the fictional concept of the scissor statement? https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/

    For all his talks about the garden of good faith debate he wants to be a troll so badly. (See also the work he did to maintain sock puppets in the fake nation game).

    I’m now reminded he also pulled the ‘what if the people against me are also antisemites’ shit in untitled. “Oops, I accidentally included three neo-Nazi caricatures of Jews in there. You did notice, right?” Yeah we did, that was weird.

    Anyway, yes the compassion of ‘the far right are right about race and IQ, but we shouldn’t be mean about it’ and ‘Marxbro is banned for pointing out somebody badly misquoted Marx’

    (Not a huge fan of how sneerclub is talking about Yuds SM stuff btw, like there are not compassionate people who are also into BDSM, but I have been worrying the place is going to turn more into a r/drama place for a while now).
