Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 28 July 2024

awful.systemsStubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 28 July 2024 - awful.systemsNeed 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.

I’m not familiar with Indian politics but I’m curious if anyone understands what this site is or what its politics are democracycollective.in (I’m just nosy and curious, I saw this pop up out of nowhere)

Though I maybe already have an idea:

You can read a blog post from the dude who started that site here: …medium.com/starting-a-new-political-party-28a2e7…

Apparently he aims to start an online political party without any leaders or hierarchy where everything gets voted on. Not to be too cynical, but looking at how small it is right now I imagine they won’t get far enough to see why that doesn’t really work.

@sailor_sega_saturn @hrrrngh A few of these have sprung up after Five Star Movement got popular in Italy. These political descendants have been real quiet after the drama flared up. Our local instance (Movement Now) has one MP.

Ahh, Movement Now. The vanity hobby horse of one Hjallis Harkimo, best known for playing Donald Trump’s role in the second season of the Finnish version of The Apprentice, as well as selling half a hockey team and the arena he built to Russian oligarchs.

I hadn’t connected the dots from M5S to Liike Nyt before, but I guess it makes a modicum of sense as an inspiration.
