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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

      In particular she felt like Anna, whom sheā€™d been closest with, was being dishonest about what they hoped to achieve with this whole project. Sanje further alleged that Annaā€™s good standing largely stemmed from her incomprehensibility, because people donā€™t have a clue what this is actually all about. Possibly Anna doesnā€™t, either.

      I got as far as ā€œDimes Square bohemiansā€ in the fourth sentence before realizing that everything in that article I recognized, I would regret.

      Haela Hunt-Hendrix, the singer from the black metal band Litvrgy, was one of the principal organizers of this ā€œsymposium.ā€ [ā€¦] Besides making music, she seems to be interested in esoteric religious themes, numerology, and Orthodox iconography. In any case, Hunt-Hendrix claimed that Anna was stealing her ideas and twisting them in a ā€œcryptofascistā€ manner.

      Oh no! How could she!

        Oh my god I only now notice the title is a reference to Tiqqunā€™s Preliminary Materials For a Theory of the Young-Girl, this is like a supercollision of dumbfuck cryptoreactionary nonsense Iā€™ve obsessed over.

      Hegelian e-girlsā€™ VIP ā€œsymposiumā€

      Excuse the rather formal philosophical latin but qvid in fvck?

      I tried looking through the post to find out what possibly they could have to do with Hegel and found

      Thankfully, Matthew shared the Googledoc the e-girls had sent him with their prepared remarks. My commentary over the next several paragraphs will only make sense if you read over them (theyā€™re mercifully short), so Iā€™d urge everyone to open up the hyperlink and give it a quick look.

      Okay, first of all, itā€™s like 5 pages, ā€œmercifully shortā€ lol, go take a hike. Second,

      Concrete philosophizing means applying insight to the alchemical transformation of everyday life.

      This is in the first paragraph. I feel like reading this would make me devolve into an entire day of incoherent screaming and I have enough respect for my coworkers and loved ones to not subject them to that
