What's a good name for an anti-TESCREAL nonprofit? (awful.systems)
 

I'm in a pile of excellent people opposed to the TESCREALists at this trying time in history. We need a name.

We have a list of possibles, but it's actually hard to pick a nice name that doesn't sound like an EA front group!

An initialism for S.N.E.E.R. probably won't be the sort of thing we're after lol.

What's a name that's (a) nice and polite sounding (b) says at least a bit what it actually is (c) doesn't sound like an EA front group?
