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)

In the past few months alone I've seen:

  • A birthrate obsessed substacker who wants to ban car seats to increase minivan sales
  • Two people off HN who went on thinly race-iq rants only to say that race and iq doesn't even matter because ChatGPT is going to lift the non-whites into sapience and end racism. Neither substacker seemed to know each other, yet came to the same ridiculous conclusion.
  • A former femboy, turned reply-guy who tweets about how the hidden figures woman was actually white like once a week
  • Another xitter user who's made 10 posts a day insisting that Ethiopians are actually mostly white, which is why they had castle and shit

And honestly there's a lot more of these guys that are crazy than they are racist; I just so happened to remember the most offensive posters. 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.

I have good news for you: the ChatGPT racists got there because the idea isn’t even original to either of them

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
