As suggested at this thread to general “yeah sounds cool”. Let’s see if this goes anywhere.

Original inspiration:

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)

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, there’s no quota here

    Here that car seat post I was talking about

    The best sneer is from the comments imo

    Unfortunately, the genie is out of the bottle here. It would be political malpractice to liberalize these safety rules. The first child who dies or is critically injured after eliminating the post two year old requirements is a political disaster for whoever changed the rules

      Give people hope for the future. Climate change takes away people’s hope, so solve climate change to give them their hope back.

      Can’t argue with that. Why don’t we just get on solving climate change, eh?

        This might be sacrilege, but HN sneers are my favorite sneers. Especially because snark is a dang-able offence

          To be scrupulously fair, it’s perfectly possible to construct vehicles that are both good at transporting multiple people and don’t take up square miles of road. See the vehicle market in SE Asia as an example.

          Or this segment, almost unknown in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_MPV

          In fact, if more vehicles like this were available, it would be good both for Quiverful families and Earth-huggers! Alas the pickup truck will enable us to drive, one by one, to the Apocalypse.
