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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Also, happy April Foolās in advance.)
I knew the HN reaction to Marine Le Pen being banned from being elected to public office would be unhinged, but weirdly I did not have āgood, sheās a woman and weak so now a strong man can lead RN to glorious victoryā on my bingo card. More fool me, misogyny is always on the card.

Misogyny is the free square, easy to forget
Thereās a comment in there about how well it reflects on the British system that Bobby Sands was allowed to stand as an MP for Sinn FĆ©in despite being an IRA member and a prisoner. This ignores that a) Sinn FĆ©in policy was and is not to take seats in the British parliament, so he wouldnāt have been voting or sitting on any committees, and b) Bobby Sands died in prison on hunger strike.
Why yes, Iām sure 29 year old Jordan āEl italiano 93ā Bardella, who 10 years ago was uploading Call of Duty videos to youtube, is a much stronger candidate.
