The constant toxicity, outrage bait, and bad-faith engagement finally wore me down.
Hoping for healthier conversations here.

I can't believe we have to deal with Less Wrong idiots and Moldbug in 2026.
I remember making fun of them in 2000s SA alongside the bodybuilding(dot)com forums as being two types of incredible dumbshit.
Also the Hitler genius thing isn't even remotely true, classic "smart guy for dumbasses" idea.

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”
Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

They spent months and months insisting he was an antisemite, with zero evidence, and then he chooses to get sworn in as mayor by America’s most famous and beloved Jewish politician.
His critics are a mix of liars and fools.

A street scene from the '90s (see Alt txt for more info). This detailed watercolour drawing of mine from >30 yrs ago of King's Parade, #Cambridge was completed on the spot in about 3 hours. I was sitting on a metal box that controlled the rising bollards. Sold ages ago. #watercolour #enpleinair
