‘Before its too late buddy’: A Code Red Warning about TESCREALism
This is what happens when you spend two years unmasking a well-funded Silicon Valley “apocalypse cult.”
You're viewing a single thread.
This is a good article. I just recently heard this TESCREAL term from the Crazy Town podcast, and it's scary stuff. I don't know what some of these words are on your community sidebar and I'm not at all sure what this community is about. I'm guessing it's a hate group, otherwise you would use words everyone understands. And now I'm wondering what's even the use of this comment. And I'm probably about to get attacked by members of an online hate group
Having lurked for a long time, sneerclub is aimed at people who already have a good idea of the horror of TESCREAL groups—the point isn't to attract new members, but catharsis for those of us that have had to deal with the TechBros/Facists etc.
and for sneering, the sneering is important.
Getting real for a moment, for me, I used to be in deep with these people and then my friends in the community commited suicide due the rampant sexual abuse and I got the hell out. Sneer club was the only place the reports of assault were taken seriously, while the TESCREALs all closed ranks.
It's all a way back for me now, but I love this place. That there is a tiny part of the Internet out there that calls these people on their shit and sneers gives me so much peace.
(For sneerclubbers reading this; thanks folks, you're the best! ✨️)
yeah, sneerclub is a sub for those who know too much about these bozos (I've been following them since 2010 good lord) to post negativity. The linked article is the easy introduction to their foolishness.
TESCREAL is becoming the accepted academic acronym - Transhumanism, Singularity, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism - even though TREACLES was right there
even though TREACLES was right there
I still wish there were a U in there somewhere, because ARSECULT
Too bad E and A should be next to each other too
Hmm branding opportunity, “unwanted altruism”
SEARCULT it is then
Maybe this place needs a sister community SNEARCULT.
“SEARCULT is totally innocent, okay? We’re just really into good steak and Enlightened Conversations..”
i just wanna grill for god's sake
That's all that keeps TESLAREC from being a contender.
T-CEREALS
Part of a balanced breakfast!
Brilliant. Can we just shoehorn in Utilitarianism too then?
Utilitarianism
We're a point-and-laugh-at-TESCREAL-people group.
…what?
not an unreasonable fear when the linked article details the cultist death threats Torres has been getting
ya idk maybe i was a bit hasty in tossing around 'hate group' but I would still like to just Homer Simpson right back into the bush.
get a load of these DWEEBS tryna eugenics their way into utopia! (am i doing this right?)
I realise that a reddit-clone forum with a load of jargon probably does look a bit, um...hate group-y, but I wouldn't describe sneerclub as a hate group. More like Scientology watchers. The reason sneer club is no longer on Reddit is because it chose to leave (during the recent changes), not because it was banned (like, say, r/incel).
they are cuddly little smol bean nerds, very endearing!!! except you know the pervasive race science

speaking for myself (and likely others would agree): I understand this impulse, but choose to throw shade because these utterly moronic ideas deserve public shaming and counterpush. the fact that it's so easy to take their shit apart while they ostensibly have all those highly-paid bigbrains is, well, rather indicative of just how thoroughly put together their fuckwittery is
