Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

EDIT: this probably isn't him, but I'll leave it up. the real account appears to be /u/mister_cactus

Unsure where to put this or if it's even slightly relevant, but I've had some fun looking up the UH shooter guy.

I think I've found both his Reddit account and YouTube channel (it's been renamed a couple times). Kinda just wanted to see how much I could dig up for the hell of it. Big surprise that he's completely nuts

He got raked over the coals for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/126vycx/why_scientists_cant_be_trusted/

https://api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/comment/?author=burntbabylon

edit: reasoning and more detailshere's my chain of reasoning to get to the youtube channel:

  • his goodreads review quotes a reddit comment
  • the reddit comment is in a small thread where the OP deleted their account
  • since the thread is small, the OP has probably seen most of the comments
  • the wayback machine shows the author as burntbabylon
  • that user linked to and defended a video from a very small youtube channel and everyone else on /r/collapse thought it was crazy
  • some of the ted kaczynski analysis videos came out right before his goodreads review

his early channel had some thumbnails made for him by 'bastizopilled', an ironic/unironic "bastizo futurist" whose does interviews in a black mask with a gun on him. he leads right into a bunch of other groypers and the guy in the screenshot I posted below. kind of wonder if that 'black mask with a gun' aesthetic influenced the clothes he brought to the shooting.

the channel names he used in 2023:

  • @NickAkritas, Nick Akritas (January)
  • @NicksEssays, Nick's Essays (January ~20th)
  • @AntiTechCabin, Anti-Tech Cabin (early March)
  • @Cabin_Club, AntiTechCabin
  • @Cabin_Club, Cabin Club (March ~18th)
  • @CabinProductions_, Cabin Productions (June)
  • @Laconian_, Laconian (September)
  • @NicholasLaconian, Laconian (November)

here's a big pile of crazy tags he wrote on one of those videos (were people still writing tags in their video descriptions in 2023?):

unabomber, kaczynski, ted kaczynski, unabomber cabin, kasinski, kazinski, industrial society and and its future, unabomber manifesto, the industrial revolution and its consequences, transhumanism, futurism, anprim, anarchoprimitivism, anarchism, leftism, liberalism, chad haag, nick akritas, gerbert johnson, hamza, anti tech collective, what did ted kaczynski believe, john doyle, hasanabi, self improvement, politics, jreg, philosophy, funny tiktok, kaczynski edit, ted kaczynski edit, zoomer, doomer, A.I. art, artifical intelligence, elon musk, AI art, return to tradition, embrace masculinity, reject modernity, reject modernity embrace masculinity, reject modernity embrace tradition, jReg, Greg Guevara, sam hyde, oversocialized, oversocialization, blackpilled, modernity, the industrial revolution, self improvement


edit again: holy shit these people all suck. assuming the youtube channel is the shooter, he's a friend-of-a-friend of this guy:

and if that's true, he'd be a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend of nick fuentes
