That too - a significant section of the tradcath subculture spends most of its time fulminating against "Bergoglio" these days.

Also, if they happen to be the pro-Russian/anti-Ukraine kind of right-wing shithead, then the political alignment of some Orthodox churches may be amenable.

That famous shtetl "feminists attack nerds :((( because they're easy targets >:((" is worse in context . The blog post was about how Harvard were wrong to take down videos of physics lectures by a sexual harrasser they just sacked, because they were really good physics lectures you guys. And there were all these appalling comments that Scott didn't give any pushback to - instead, he lit into the one woman in the comments section. for suggesting that nerds commit sexual offences.

LessWrong and EA can help people to understand logical fallacies, but they can't help people to actually understand their emotions. In fact, the culture around them encourages adherents to feel contempt for their "irrational" emotions and for people who are led by emotion.

Of course it is extremely unpleasant to repress all your emotions, and it is ultimately impossible to do so all the time. How did the LessWrong community solve this problem? Its users limited their emotional expression to acceptable forms and acceptable targets, and expressed their emotions through cult accepted techniques like taking drugs, having sex, cyberbullying leftists and writing really long blogposts.

Like most subcultures, it's the powerful and respected people in EA who determine the dominant norms. With pretty much every leading EAist a middle-class dominant-culture American man who works in tech and wishes feminists would quit whining, it should be no surprise that the norms they created are stereotypically, nay, toxically white and masculine.

I commented about this when it was first posted but I'm still angry. These motherfuckers never consider that "reflecting reality" perpetuates that reality. And if AI art never surprises you, it isn't art. But they don't care.

The only place that going Nazi is a "justified" response to left-wing criticism is inside a Nazi's head. It's fucking Nazis. It's not even a good career move, because Nazis are shit friends who will try and pressure you into saying and doing the racist shit that they want you to say or do and they'll ditch you the minute you stop.
