I am elevating this from megathread post to real post
I regret looking at X almost every time
This weird discourse has done actual psychic damage I think
Can someone make this make sense to me? Not uncritically adopting the weaponization of language traditionally, normally even, used to attack queer and neurodiverse people against less-lib American reactionaries by Democrats makes you a fed? It’s not a hill I would die but yeah
We are truly reaching levels of normality never seen before, regardless of how not weird and normal it is in many sections of society to be a turbo-reactionary
Have we entered a period where internet leftists and K-hivestandard internet left-libs become almost indistinguishable? I feel like I’m stuck in the event horizon of a terminally online singularity, spiraling toward a center of infinite onlineness
The most online people I have ever seen are telling other online people to log the fuck off, the 🥥🌴 usernames are joining with the 🍉🇵🇸 usernames in fed-jacketing people, the Democrat campaign is reposting dril tweets
We are cooked, the internet singularity consumes us all
Weirdn ormal weird werird normal couch weird weird normal
Almost every word has been used as insult against someone somewhere. From weird, to annoying, to dumbass, to worthless, to useless, to demonic, to motherfucker, and so on. If I can’t call a piece of shit weird for being obsessed with people’s genitals while chatting with teenagers online, I don’t know what to tell ya
I’m entertaining myself with making new insults. It’s funny and challenging because you want something that’s harsh, but it easily falls into a "“Reddit compound swear” cringe class.
My personal favourites are dog-brained (used it for a long while now and I’ve been seeing other people use it now too) and porridgefarmer.
There is an old word in my language which just means “poor and lazy worksman” (poor as in low quality) and I really want an English variant.
