amazing how much shittier it is to be in the rat community now that the racists won. before at least they were kinda coy about it and pretended to still have remotely good values instead of it all being yarvinslop.

it would be nice to be able to ever invite rat friends to anything but half the time when I've done this in the last year they try selling people they just met on scientific racism!
We are talking about the subculture here.
Oh, I just realised!
Does "rat" refer to "rationalist"?
I thought it was referring to Lemmy because of the rat symbol.
It does, I dont like it personally because of the whole dont compare people you do not like to vermin bit. But it is also a commonly used thing inside the Rationalists community. (I personally also like to capitalize Rationalist when im talking about the lesswrong etc people to make it clear im not talking about normal rationalism).
I wish they had not literally called their ideology rationality (tm) because I can't call it that with a straight face, but eighteenth-century rationalists would go through them like a galleon through a fleet of canoes. I don't know if teenaged-Yud was already a Libertarian or if he reinvented Objectivism from first principles. Political movements on the American right also rely on the same rhetorical move: "we are for freedom! How could anyone be against freedom?"
