Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

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.

      Guess women drop their hypergamous gene when they get older so they suddenly find younger women without high status and prestige attractive.

      Also, is she bragging here? Negging primalpoly via tweets?

      Never heard of the person, let’s see what the only true wiki has to say…

      Diana Santos Fleischman (1981–) is an evolutionary psychologist, eugenicist, anti-vegan and utilitarian who holds numerous controversial viewpoints. She is a transphobe and supporter of polyamory/polygamy and human biodiversity (HBD). Fleischman was a speaker at the far-right pro-natalist Natal Conference in 2023. She has written for Quillette and is the current podcast host for the far-right Aporia Magazine.

      Jesus Howard Christ, what a wild ride.

      Also learnt today “human biodiversity” is a weird racist dogwhistle. At first it sounded like promoting fucking people from far away instead of, idk, your cousins, to promote genetic diversity, but that’d be too normal I guess.

        Mein Gott, I would have assumed you knew about HBD bs when you somewhat regularly post here. Sorry that you were one of the 10.000 today. But yeah that euphemism for scientific racism has being going around in the bloggosphere for 15+ years or so. It even shows up on the neo-reaction map (see also our dear friends in green near the top left).

        “HBD” was I think coined by Steve Sailer? as the latest euphemism treadmill entry for scientific racism.

          can’t be much airflow there, but then I guess that much stale air does also contribute to such takes

        (re “boss-mama”, kinda sucks as a frame but I didn’t know a better term for characterising that porn class)
