A word is watered down when it is used to describe anything and everything. And in case you missed it, we are surrounded by idiots being idiots and doing just that.

I think I choose to not let it get watered down then? It has meaning I know the meaning. Idiots have always existed.

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

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.
