Yeah lot of people are fully into they are just trolling. But I have seen that go bad so often (chapo, redscare, vaush, for a few obvious examples) im very much not trusting them to not turn out to be bad. Esp when it is their 'job' to do this. Quite easy to throw a few minorities under the bus for clout. And actively making people crazier/spreading misinformation like this is not great imho.

(E: that I could easily create a list of accounts who I think fall on this spectrum, who still have a lot of followers also isnt great).

That part was a bit tongue in cheek. scott ssc did claim he was being brigaded by sneerclubbers once while he was in a debate with one of the sc mods (that is where the 'one man brigade' flair came from). They tend to dramatize just how big and mean we are. Other scott had one regular self proclaimed sneerclubber and several neonazis in his comment section, and the former seemed to bother him the most for example (I never reacted on his blog after I realized how bad the existence of sc was for his mental health (he has long ago stopped mentioning us and has since dropped of my and most peoples here radar however which is prob for the best esp as in the lw space he isnt that important)).

Wonder if the big cyberpunk authors wrote about that, somebody prob knows.

Looks like elon and the others fell for it tbh, not so much you. (Note his screenshot showed he liked and retweeted it).

Every time you pay a worker the risk of them owning a little bit of the companies stock increases. And workers owning the means of production is socialism, so that means paying workers is for commies.

Mentioned this to people around me who are owldicted, and it did seem to change a thing. They agree with me the quality has dropped, they heard the stories that the lessons now dont properly teach you the language, but they continue using it. It is telling people not to use their pet names for passwords all over again.

Their twitter account is really odd though and im not 100% sure they are trolling still.

Yeah it gets really weird in the end very EE (Eastern European) sf. (Which often has a bit more fantasy elements in it, compared to more western europe (ignoring psionics here, which despite being fantasy is so ingrained in our idea of SF it doesnt really feel like it) SF. Not that I mind. I read a lot of 70s SF so I found the no fantasy stance slightly odd. Also quite bleak which is also common in more EE SF I heard). I digress. The other things made more impact so I forgot if it was also in the book. Which I enjoyed so you could try going back.

Ah yes one of those great ideas to change the world by changing nothing podcasts.

Isnt trueanonpod a satire account? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueAnon def some too close to the sun satire here.

Big chance this person is <25 and this is just the reactionary yearning for a better past that never was. Also interesting how they always blame the 'Left', and not just somebody like Reagan who had actual power, actually caused a measurable shift etc. (Not saying it was great before him, I wasnt there in time and place) But nope popular culture controls the world. Thanks cartoon Obama.
