Annoying modern expressions and anti-concepts

[Tooting Carmen]

As the philosopher Ayn Rand defined it: "an anti-concept is an irrational, unusable term designed to replace or obliterate a legitimate concept". Some modern examples:

Woke. To be socially-aware, particularly to issues regarding racism and inequality.
To go viral. Using technology to promote a cause or spread news about an event, whether intentionally or not.
Cancel culture. Widespread shunning of people with putatively unacceptable or extreme views.
To call out. To criticise.
Trending. Something that is popular on social media. (Mainly Twitter).
Meme. See above.
Gaslighting. To mentally destabilise and confuse someone.
Doxing. Secretly finding out information about someone.

Eurocentric and colourism do have legitimate uses. I agree about the others.

Microaggressions. Perceived minor insults because of someone's race or gender.
Trigger warnings. Telling the oversensitive that someone will be hurt or offended in the following story.
Safe spaces. A physical or technologically virtual location where a designated social group shall never feel challenged or insulted.

What is especially noticeable about all these words and trends is how they are used to obscure real debates about wealth and power.

It's all vague jargon to be exempt from giving actual arguments with sound logic and normal wording. "White fragility" "toxic masculinity" are all just codewords for being retarded.

[Tooting Carmen]

Justice. Not an anti-concept in itself, but the way it is often attached to rather nebulous ideas makes it one. 'Social justice', 'racial justice', 'climate justice' etc. (If we were to talk about 'equality' rather than 'justice' in those contexts, then fine. But justice is something else - it means the law being arbitrated in an objective and dispassionate manner).

[Faklon]

friendzone, ghosting, incel, slayer/chad, karen, gagging...

However, there is nothing more irrational than the word Alt-right, Left and Right being themselves irrational anti-concepts. Politically dead society.

More generally, between a third and half of the other terms (maybe more) mentioned in this thread are also of African-American origin.

As polarising a figure as Peron doubtlessly has been, from what I know about him he was a pragmatic reformer rather than a revolutionary, and as you've said yourself Argentina was certainly no shangri-la before he came along, and nor can he be blamed for everything wrong that has happened since.

These are the twenty fundamental truths of Justicialism. I wanted to bring them together here so that every one of you engrave it in your hearts and minds; so that they you spread them everywhere as a message of love and justice; so that you live happily in accordance with them; and also so that you die happily in their defense if it were necessary – Juan Perón October 17, 1950.


True democracy is one where the government does what the people want and defends only one interest: THE PEOPLE
Peronism is popular in its essence. All political circles are anti-popular and for this reason are not Peronist.
The Peronist works for the Movement. Whoever in its name serves a circle or a caudillo is one only in name.
For Peronism there exists only one class of men: workers.
In the new Argentina work is a right that creates human dignity and is a duty, for it is right that everyone produce at least what he consumes.
For a good Peronist there can be nothing better than another Peronist.
No Peronist should feel himself to be more than he is, or less than he should be. When a Peronist begins to feel himself to be more than he is he begins to convert himself into an oligarch.
In political action the scale of values of every Peronist is the following: first the Fatherland, then the Movement, and then Men.
For us politics are not an end, rather only a means for the good of the Fatherland, which is the happiness of its children and national greatness.
The two arms of Peronism are Social Justice and Social Assistance. With them we embrace the people in Justice and Love.
Peronism wants national unity and not struggle. It wants heroes and not martyrs.
In the new Argentina children are the only privileged ones.
A government without a doctrine is a body without a soul. For this reason Peronism has its own political, economic, and social doctrine, which is Justicialism.
Justicialism is a new philosophy of life that is simple, practical, popular, profoundly Christian, and profoundly popular.
As a political doctrine Justicialism realizes the equilibrium between the rights of the individual and those of the community.
As economic doctrine Justicialism realizes the social economy, placing capital at the service of the economy and the latter at the service of social well-being.
As a social doctrine Justicialism realizes social justice, which gives every person their right to a social function.
We want a socially just, economically free, and politically sovereign Argentina.
We constitute a centralized government, an organized state, and a free people.
The best we have on this earth is the People.

Safe Space, which we should steal from snowflakes and apply to Apricity free speech instead of a "safe space" to hide from opposite opinions.

They just released a new "White people suck" movie with that title. It got a terrible ratio, and it's so bad that it could be mistaken for a parody.

Status exchange. The notion that middle-class non-whites who marry working-class Whites are actually thus improving their social status.

Ex-pats. Western immigrants in non-Western countries.
Reverse racism. It is called 'reverse' because of the bullshit assumption that Whites can only be perpetrators and not victims.

I hate it when a zillion celebrities and politicians say "we have more work to do" like they're reading from the same script. "We have more work to do....to destroy good, normal Americans.'

"Problematic" gets on my nerves. I also hate how they misuse "tragic" and "unfortunate". "It was tragic that he stubbed his toe." "The condominium collapse was unfortunate."

Transphobe. Someone who actually acknowledges that biological sex is real.

They are often used to replace real debate and substance.

In theory yes, but in practice it has acquired a racial undertone, so even e.g. a Frenchwoman who has lived in Bangladesh for forty years is still referred to as an 'ex-pat' rather than an 'immigrant'.

Antisemitism (with antisemitic as an adjective) is a legitimate and documentable phenomenon, though nowadays may be used as an unjustified descriptor of any individual who dares to criticize the Jews (even in the smallest, most-respectful capacity).

Manspreading is similarly intolerable.

"Values", as in moral values.

In every political speeches, they have to slip that word nowadays to sanctify a viewpoint or ideology (left and right), defining oneself as the axiologue of good or wrong in every issues, like in an American B movie. Those values don't mean anything concrete, and they can change depending on the situation. I can't stand to hear that word anymore, now the general population starts using it too because of that trend, while having no clue what their own values really are.

"Because of my "values", "Our values dictate,.." etc..

[Tooting Carmen]

Validation. Having others praise you for your identity.
Erasure. People being uninterested in your identity.
Misgendering. A man who claims to be a woman actually being told he is a man.
