I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:

I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.

      your lack of situational awareness is alarming. stop driving, grab a coffee, put your feet up, and take a moment to actually fucking look at what you replied to

      it may help

        The situation is that we should always link to the source, not to another aggregator. This decreases the odds of it becoming a dead link. And that’s before even dealing with the issue that people here are typically explicitly avoiding Reddit.

        Then add in that the linked video is a full 3 hours of a Joe Rogan video and no time stamp was provided to tell us what we should be looking for. I’d downnvote a second time just for that if I could.

        The problem isn’t me, it’s a lack of awareness on your part.

            “is it me, driveby poster, that is wrong? no, it must be everyone else who knows the sub that’s wrong”

              like the thing I can’t figure out is, what in the fuck did they think we were quoting and reacting to?

              actually nah I can figure it out, they saw a link to reddit and decided they had a cake to shit on

              and as everyone knows, you can’t cut off a cake shit mid-log

                what I appreciate (inasfar as something to laugh at) is that when this is pointed out they double down like it’s their life savings riding on the game

          The point of this post is ssc. Not vance. The problem is you.

          Sneerclub is a point and laugh at the radicalizing Rationlists place not complain about the gop place. (And if you dont know what that is read the rationalwiki (not related to the Rationalists) on lesswrong).

          this isn’t wikipedia, and the point of this post was not in fact the thing you think it was, you utter and complete raging fuckwit

          the problem is that you post things here, though i guess that by the time i’m commenting it has been alleviated.

      The point was SSCers reacting. Vance being an SSCer isn’t notable as he’s a Thiel creature. SSCers being confronted with the eyeshadowed mirror that is Vance is much more interesting because they spend a lot of time being nominally not exactly what Vance is.
