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.]

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:

I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.

Sedevacantist Catholic or Russian Orthodox more likely

Apparently for all the cosplaying of alt righters going Russian Orthodox, not that many actually go to church. ( Which is an important part). Thankfully for the priests who would have to deal with the madmen.

It's the glitz of Catholicism with fewer of those pesky liberals around.

Also, some Orthodox monasteries had an enslaved workforce until well into the 19th century, which must appeal to neoreactionary scum.

Another reason right-wing shitheads are becoming tradorthodox instead of tradcath these days is because they think the current Pope is a woke liberal monster.

[–] maol@awful.systems 1 points 6 days ago

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.

I mean, I think actually having to interact with these loons would be a strong incentive to liberalize their theology which would be a good thing.
