"Current year" terms that piss you off

[PFM]

I don't see how. "Homeless" seems like an apt description.

Because calling them "homeless" obscures the root of their problem. We may as well call them "carless" or "unclean". Calling them "homeless" leads to people agreeing with policies like "give them free housing to help them get back on their feet!" If they tackled the root of their problems they wouldn't be dirty homeless thieves.

Same story with "undocumented migrant", "sex worker", "gender dysphoria". This seems obvious to me.....

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"sex worker"

Why has it become "politically incorrect" to call one of them "prostitute" or the like anyway?

 

[The Heartthrob]

I'm sure it's been brought up a thousand times, but I was watching a video yesterday where a guy called "latinx" a slur and it never occurred to me that for all intents and purposes it is one.

To every Latino I know, it's definitely a slur. Latino is their own word they call themselves and what they like to be known as. "Latinx" is just something white soy lefties made up to try inserting genderspecial shit into a culture they know nothing about and whose language they don't speak.

But those soy lefties have noticed the backlash from Latinos, and now have been trying to call them "Latines" for the same reason. That's going over about as well as "Latinx."

It's just them obscuring the meaning further and further so it seems more benign, like "MAP". This is what commies do.

I was talking to a friend about it and we both reached the conclusion too that it's likely a way to try to break down Latino culture. I don't think they like how defined it is because that makes it harder to force them into a box.

Seems SJWs want the whole world to be a bland "melting pot" of "diversity", but with no diversity of thought.

In other words, the "woke" want all in this world to live in soy cities like Portland, under Real Communism™?

I think at this point, both sides want it equally. In a lot of ways being a fence sitter or entirely apolitical is the best way to avoid becoming a gray blob.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

becoming a gray blob

That's the plot of the 2001 episode "The Same Game" of that Fairly OddParents cartoon.

(which aired quite some time before "social media" and "social justice" became things)

It was a really good episode about individuality in general. That's probably why it's so stuck in my mind.

 

[Trombonista]

Goyslop and niggercattle. There, I said it.

 

[Lone Wandering Courier]

Goyslop

I agree, "goyslop" got overused to where it lost all meaning and stopped being funny.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"Systemic racism" sounds "astroturfed", and of course is yet another way to say "wrongthink" in Clown World. The term "racism" itself can invoke the BS "identity politics" and collectivist thinking that SJWs like, and "systemic racism" sounds so pseudo-academic "look how smart I am" BS on BS. And SJWs fixate so much on overthinking interactions: it's the core of "identity politics".

Every latinks I know hates it, even the pinkos. They consider it erasure of their latinks pride and culture and it is. The soyim hate that Spanish has gendered language built right into it and there’s no way in hell they can replace thousands of years of establishing a strictly gendered language.

I agree, "goyslop" got overused to where it lost all meaning and stopped being funny.

It has its place I think, especially when there’s some new frankenfood gets featured like Beyond Meat or bug chips.

"Women and girls" was introduced a few years ago and no one's mentioned it. I didn't know its origin but political women started picking the term up very rapidly.
X-person like "congress person". Its awkward to say and is part of the push to remove sex from language.
COVID19. We use to call them based on the place of origin or initial outbreak. It's obvious they did this due to politics.

 

[Solomon Bundy]

"Pretty Privilege"

"Inter-Generational Romance"

"Work Anxiety"

"Time Blindness"

"Stochastic Terrorism"

Well, it is Cultural Studies mumbo-jumbo, of course is astroturfed!

Clown World itself is "astroturfed" too. Current Year feels so forced and artificial, even compared to the modern world before 2012.

"Quiet quitting". Essentially, corporate clowns complain that their wageslaves only try to work as little as possible to avoid being casted as the next Stakhanovite-poster boy.

We're in this ride for the rest of our lifetimes, very likely, unless some major upheaval.

And it is sad that we have to pray for some sort of utter catastrophe lol
