I participate in the techtakes community on awful.systems, which is devoted to laughing at tech bro “takes”. HN posts and comments are almost too easy as targets for derision and are common topics for meta-discussion of the reprehensible opinions.
I was just trying to have a light touch here. Start with the facts. We can talk about the literal cults spun off from it later.
The site’s one of the clearest windows into the myriad and shockingly widespread ghoulish opinions that seem to fester in places that consider themselves important to the tech industry or attract people who think they are.
I really should start keeping a tally on shit like “how many times have I seen eugenics suggested on HN this month”.
Great callout!
