That is exactly why we need to warn normal people. They don't know about the TESCREAL and neoreactionary people and we need to make sure they don't fall for them.

@tante I personally, and I'm very well educated, find the TESCREAL acronym way too complex, especially when it's spelled out to show what it stands for. The content is great, but the execution is flawed. No "normal person" i.e. average voter at the ballot box can remember any of that. DICKHEADS, or FUCKWITS, would be much easier, and with the correct choice of words could well be an accurate acronym.
@otte_homan it needs simpler explanations, I agree. Adam Becker's "More Everything forever" does a good job and I have a german presentation I have recently given to a German crowd that I wanted to rework and record. But time and such ... it's hard.
@tante but even "more everything forever" sounds so positive (and that is a deliberate choice). It needs to be fucking AWFUL or something like that.
I admire Timnit Gebru's work and her principles, but TESCREAL is *way too* academic for the John Doe down the street who will eventually need to tick a box on a ballot form.
