The words phenomenon.
    #27905100 - 08/16/22 02:46 AM (1 year, 5 months ago)

I noticed it about the time of the invention of the internet. Or rather.... roughly when it started becoming more main stream to be able to type to each other. Just random groups of people typing.


There started being a series of words that become super integral to debate.


Some of those words are the following:

Gaslighting
Strawman
Goalpost moving
Semantics
Cognitive Dissonance
Dunning Kruger
Sycophant



There are of course many others. But notice the general theme here. And as the time has gone by more and more its kind of a sense of "wapow. I hit you with this word. So I r smart. And you r dumb." Instead of a legit point. It seems quite often also attached to a "You are dumb and thats why I'm right." Instead of a "your point is X and X has issues such as Y and Z."




Iunno. Just some scrambled thoughts for yall.

Upon hearing the word Sycophant first in the old motorhead song orgasmatron, i looked it up expecting soimething like an elephant who DGAF.


It's just a word.

"gaslighting" is vastly overused, as is labelling people narcissists, there is a cult of especiually ladies who label anyone theyt dont like a narcissist
they usually cay narcist, to emphasize the -cist over the actual -ist to make it sound worse.

also, reductio ad hitlerum. At some point, a person like me comes along and brings hitler into the discussion. Unlike me, they mostly do it by labelling their opponents fascists worse than hitler. With me, its more that i compare things in the news with the rise of fascism, so not a direct attack to disqualify an opponent but rather to call in memory the past.

Humans are followers. We just mimic and repeat things we hear. We like buzzwords and phrases that are in style. Even if we don't always know what these things exactly mean. We follow the trends. The majority of us just want to fit in and be like everyone else. The majority of us aren't genuinely intelligent enough to have an actual debate with real, fluid thought without resorting to these terms and phrases.

Just look at the drones on either side of the political aisle. They all parrot the same terms, buzzwords, phrases. Go to Twitter and find a politically polarizing/divisive tweet and sift through the hundreds of comments. They may as well be bots, because they just repeat the same things to one another. And then do again the next day.
