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.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)

      There is an übermensch and there is an untermensch.

      The übermensch are masculine males, the bodybuilders I follow that are only active in the gym and on the feed; the untermensh are women and low-T men, like my bluepilled Eastern European coworker whose perfectly fine with non-white immigration into my country.

      The übermensch also includes anybody whose made a multi-paragraph post on 4chan with no more than one line break between each paragraph. It also includes people at least and at most as autistic as I am.

          I was trying to avoid language like ‘insane’ etc myself. Felt a bit like return of the Timecube.

          I think she won that one. Was a bit unclear, but I recall seeing a tweet from grimes that she has access to her kids again. (Not sure if it was a real tweet).

            Ah but you see, she’s just one of the custody battles to be lost. Elon apparently can’t help but start potential custody battles

              When he dies, the amount of secret hidden kids who will suddenly be revealed to hopefully get some part of the inheritance, will be shocking even for us.

          Yeah that reads as a cry for help. (But I doubt it is, he prob just feels like he is onto something with a righteous/spiritual feeling.)

          And well, he could even be onto something, he could become quite popular, peterson had the same sort of feeling (it is in the foreword of one of his books) and look how big he got. He certainly got more followers than I have. ;)
