This is a good article. I just recently heard this TESCREAL term from the Crazy Town podcast, and it’s scary stuff. I don’t know what some of these words are on your community sidebar and I’m not at all sure what this community is about. I’m guessing it’s a hate group, otherwise you would use words everyone understands. And now I’m wondering what’s even the use of this comment. And I’m probably about to get attacked by members of an online hate group

Having lurked for a long time, sneerclub is aimed at people who already have a good idea of the horror of TESCREAL groups—the point isn’t to attract new members, but catharsis for those of us that have had to deal with the TechBros/Facists etc.

and for sneering, the sneering is important.

Getting real for a moment, for me, I used to be in deep with these people and then my friends in the community commited suicide due the rampant sexual abuse and I got the hell out. Sneer club was the only place the reports of assault were taken seriously, while the TESCREALs all closed ranks.

It’s all a way back for me now, but I love this place. That there is a tiny part of the Internet out there that calls these people on their shit and sneers gives me so much peace.

(For sneerclubbers reading this; thanks folks, you’re the best! ✨️)

yeah, sneerclub is a sub for those who know too much about these bozos (I’ve been following them since 2010 good lord) to post negativity. The linked article is the easy introduction to their foolishness.

TESCREAL is becoming the accepted academic acronym - Transhumanism, Singularity, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism - even though TREACLES was right there

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.]
