Idiots have, but they werent as infectious as they are today.
Boomer, used to just mean that someone was a baby boomer, born between 46 and 64. Then some woman said “OK Boomer” and that was the end of the that. All of sudden anyone not a younger end Gen Z was a “boomer”. You can see that going the other way too, with every cunt now under 40 being a “Millennial” usually with the word “snowflake” preceding it.
Simp, incel, paedo, the list just goes on and on. We now live in a world where being 26 and dating a 24 year old makes you a paedophile… Are you shy? Must be an incel. Think some girl is cute? WhY YoU sUcH a SiMp???
And now we have “fascist”. The buzzword of the moment, with everyone and their millennial granny inserting it into posts to get worthless internet points. Its already got to the point where we cant tell if someone really is a fascist, or if they just have a difference of opinion.
Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air because of the things he said is fascism. But shooting Charlie Kirk to silence him, isnt fascism. That was a consequence of his actions

Charlie Kirk being shot for the things he said is fascism. But taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for the things he said, isnt fascism. That was the consequence of his actions.
Everywhere you go, people are making shit up to fit their narrative. And its all well and true to say “I know better”, but the point is that most other people dont. Or worse, do, but dont care. And that, dear reader, is the cause of so much of this culture war that now spills into real life, getting fucking morons like Trump elected not once, but twice.

Uh lots to unpack here. One of you get called a imp because you’re shy you just ran into bullies. Bullies have always used words to belittle people it’s what makes them bullies.
IF you are repeatedly getting called a simp by multiple individuals in different settings, the common denominator is you. Seek mental health help.
Your post comes across as whiny. 2+2=4. Sure, many people could come around and tell me 2+2=5 but at the end of the day it’s my choice on who to believe. And they are still idiots lmao. This watering down isn’t a thing. Their actions still are creating irrational and irresponsible policies that put many lives in danger.

ffs, you cant actually be that fucking monumentally dumb? You simply cant.
Boomer, simp, incel, fascist, nazi etc are all buzzwords that people are using NOT AGAINST ME!!!
I know you want to make it about me, cos your argument is that fucking dog shit. But Im talking about in general. Ie not me.
My post comes across as whatever you want to be because youre cunt, who needs to defect from the fact you are one of the untold millions of utter pricks out there bullying anyone who doesnt suck your echo chamber cock.
YOU are the problem. YOU are the reason people look to Trump and MAGA. YOU are the reason everything fucking sucks.

Nah dawg you ain’t gunna sit here and blame me calling a spade a spade is forcing people to Trump lmao. Also go touch grass you are touched. Words have meaning. You sitting here and saying just because idiots misuse those words somehow magically makes those words lose their meaning is not gunna fly. But I appreciate your tenacity for trying and I hope your projections are something you can work through. I believe in you.

Nah dawg, I am. Just as much as I blame them, for you.
Words do have meanings, thats why we use them. But they dont address every issue. Like hollywood, and social media morons claiming that not liking the latest star wars tv show, is racism and sexism. Its not that they were badly written, or badly acted, or anything else. No, it was sexism and racism. It wasnt, but now the damage is done, and sexism and racism are now just what people say when you dont like something that stars a black gay woman, and no one takes it seriously anymore.
Overuse breeds cynicism and indifference, the very conditions in which authoritarianism thrives unnoticed. You claim fascism for every little thing that you dont agree with, and if/when real fascism comes along, no one is going to take it seriously when you sound the alarm, because you watered it the fuck down. You all spend your days, abusing the ever living fuck out of popular buzzwords, in the vain hope of getting worthless internet points because you said popular thing. And you never once consider the damage that you might have done, or continue to do.
“Im so depressed” Something people used to say constantly when they were feeling a bit down, or bored. And what happened? People who were actually depressed were dismissed as being “dramatic”. Now everyone in the fucking world is claiming to be queer, or neurodivergent, or whatever other popular thing is out there. And its watered it all down and the people who are actually queer, who are actually neurodivergent, are harmed by its over use. They get dismissed as saying popular thing for upvotes and likes. That is actually HARM done by YOU, and people like you. Because you cant have a single original thought of your own, and can only copy and paste whatever other dog shit someone else said first that got likes and up arrows.
Stop being a fucking sheep.
