      Exactly! Don’t lump us with those fucking ghouls!

      Us actual geeks are a lot nicer and try not to bother anyone.

        Yeah, also:

        People building, running, and maintaining fedi are geeks.

        People in control of (not the ones building and maintaining) most/all corpo social are techbros.

        You can also always count on someone to call out logical fallacies on something that is not a logical argument.

        That aside, calling out “this is fallacy X” does not make you smart or a good debater. They are not Pokémon moves to be called out to feel superior. Use them while constructing your point or shut up.

        I will reiterate: I am aware that Peter Thiel really likes LotR, but he still has nothing to do with people that identify as nerds and geeks. This is an opinion, not a logical proposition.
