"hey wait, EA sucks!"

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.]
It looks like they combine the hubris of an anarchist or a communist group that talks about being the vanguard of the proletariat while being like five people (and Steve only comes for the snacks, and Mike is probably a fed) with the methods of an upper class philanthropy association that has gala dinners and discuss the problems of poverty (Upper class twit voice: is it that the poor are stupid, of bad stock or just lazy? Maybe all three!)
Somehow it's not beneficial to their mental health, or anything else really.
Mike would like to yet again propose that the community garden effort be reformed into an illegal revolutionary militia, and insists that all affirmative votes be projected loudly and clearly into their shirt
Mike is a fed, yes.
So is Steve. The snack thing is left over from his previous undercover assignment at NORML. That didn't end well, but he's pretty sure he can get Mike to agree to buy explosives, which will be a good bust.
Your snacking privileges have been revoked for this reactionary claptrap! We might even vote to expel you from the meeting! (After we vote on how to vote on the voting).
Black and white thinking is a classic hallmark of... something.
