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.]

@gnomicutterance @sneerclub Are you familiar with Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now!”?

This makes sense to me. I went through a Jars of Clay / Switchfoot phase, but never Stryper.

I have heard a couple of really good episodes of The Dig podcast, which is a Jacobin thing. Notably "The German Question" a couple of weeks ago.
