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.]

Yes, sorry, I forgot that this isn't that common term.

Also note that there is quite a lot of edge and badness in the metal scene, and a lot of this wasn't shunned/no-platformed nor criticized as hard as it should be (metal is not punk), so these bands must have been quite extreme for them to go to these kinds of measures.

Metal and industrial both have a Nazi problem and you have to get unfortunately good at sign spotting.

Neo-folk is even worse. But all comes with the territory I guess, loads of negative attention from people who don't understand the genre makes it easy to dismiss any criticism from outsiders, which the far right/abusive people love to use as plausible deniability.

Yeah but like national socialist power metal isn't a thing in the way nsbm is.

I wonder if it's primarily occultism's nazi problem metastasizing, foundational dorks like Vikernes notwithstanding.
