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.]

Effective Altruists: look, we tried to invite nice people as well as the huge racists we knew were huge racists when we invited them. What? Exclude the racists? But they're so interesting! (forum.effectivealtruism.org)

these guys should really stop using words they don't understand. (i know, in case of the muppet quoted below it's almost impossible.)

The net downvotes are the rest of the community frantically whispering "FFS Roko keep our racism on the down-low!"

Roko is also violating their rules of assuming charitably and good faith about everything and going meta whenever possible. Because defending racists and racism is fine, as long as your tone is careful enough and you go up a layer of meta to avoid discussing the object level claims.

Roko's role is mad prophet who just says the loud part ever louder
