“Innovation”. The US leads on “innovation”. Uber, AirBnB, Apple, are all innovative companies and that’s why the US economy is so dynamic.

China had trains that go 400km/h. France invented the internet basically the same time the US did. The US innovates nothing except scams, like unlicensed taxis with an app or shitty media beamed into your brain 24/7, same as it always has.

For similar reasons the word “Opportunity” makes my skin crawl because usually “Opportunity” means “Something horrible/tragic we can exploit.”

There’s a great Thomas Frank essay about the word “vibrant” that’s similar. Companies need to be “innovative,” cities need to be “vibrant” ( to attract innovative companies of course).

“Let that sink in.”
I would have been able to think about the thing and its implications even if you didn’t order me to, please stop

Honestly the Reddit phrases don’t bother me nearly as much as the obscenely long “quote offs” whenever someone mentions a movie or videogame that is a Certified Reddit Classic™. Those would make me just leave the thread, since it’s the same 5-10 media-proporties, and the same scenes / quotes every time. After a month of using Reddit, you just wanted to make a million accounts and mass-downvote all these freaks.

One time I got essentially demoted from a vitally important (and very enjoyable) position because “it’s not value added right now”. Fuck the corpos and their feet-licking.

The cope, seethe, cringe, etc line of insults that seem to have wormed their way out from 4chan to the rest of the internet in the past decade.

I’ve long believed that cringe culture is a gateway drug to fascism. Fascists are huge on upholding “normalcy” as a moral imperative.

Something funny about Nazis saying “cope and seethe” when their ideology is literally the "cope and seethe’ ideology.
