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 only read the intro bit and I had complaints, looked at the scrollbar, felt despair and then I realized nobody is forcing me to read all this, I could just stop.
Anyway, somebody should call marxbro, marxbro will love this. This feels like it will lead up to a 'ancap/lw misunderstands marxism' episode again. (Sadly we do not have a breadbro (breadbro? anarchybro? perhaps best to let the anarchist equivalent of marxbro decide their name for themselves) to go to town on how wrong the ancapper is on anarchism as well).
And anyway, this is prob not needed, surely there are enough people in the LW community who are well versed enough in anarchism/marxism to talk to him about it from a honest anarchist/marxist perspective. Right? RIGHT? [insert face of Padme here]
E: late edit, because I just randomly went 'wait that is actually a really weird thing we do he just admitted too'. I get why women have trust issues, 'I lied about my political beliefs to get laid' and nobody bats an eye.
Average experience reading a LW article
Certainly, guess im getting old. I will have to sneer at myself soon. "When I was young we used to read the articles we made comments about!"
I’m hoping they can make their way over here! we are defederated from the bigger instances that call themselves Marxist, but given the extreme toxicity levels of those instances (and their questionable understanding of Marxist ideas on average), they’d likely be happier with a local account here either way
I like Kropotkin a lot (he’s much less exhausting to read than most theory) but I’d probably be an awful choice. my pick would be someone along the lines of AnarchoNinaWrites, though Nina herself understandably likely has too much going on to join us here (though the invite is open if she’d ever like to give lemmy a try)
AnarchoNinaWrites seems busy enough to me. (and well, I'd rather see a volunteer, as im not so sure about dragging people towards the abyss and going 'look a that abyss, isn't horrible?'). (A reason I made an account here and stopped posting via mastodon (that and the images and quote text not working properly).
