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 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.

Not that we're going to tell you what the accusations were about, we're serious reporters after all, we'll just take Egghead Jr's word for it.
It’s not eugenics, it’s just selecting for Good Genes!!! Such as skull bigger
Apparently there is a belief in tech-weirdo land that having a baby with a c-section means a bigger brain, and therefore higher IQ
Or how all the pronatalist events they frequent seem to be accidentally crawling with scientific racists and great replacement types.
If anything they might be trying to pull a motte-and-bailey by claiming they are not technically eugenicists, just normal far right weirdoes with a pronounced interest in lineages and IQ, a combination that famously never led to anything bad happening once it entered the mainstream.
