I mean, you do you, but you didn’t get hate for “questioning social dogmas” (you didn’t question shit, btw), rather for flaunting your pride for ignorance and being an asshole about it. Rephrase your original statement as a question, and you’ll get zero hate.
Asshole yourself to assume I must know every word in English.
I mean, if you want to know what a word means, you could just google it.
Or, if you feel like being an asshole: Announce that you won’t google it. Then proclaim multiple times that you were trolling. Then whine that you’re being oppressed when your comments are removed because you were trolling.
Or rather, you’re announcing your dismissiveness as scorn of things that greatly matter to a lot of people. Condescension drips from every word of your comment I just replied to and other ones you’ve made. And funny how people respond badly to it.
At any rate. I won’t be feeding you anymore, and I hope no one else does, either.
Nope, but “idk, I don’t care to know, everything besides programming and whatever second thing you mentioned is second-class info, I won’t google anything cause my time ain’t infinite, but I’ll spend an hour arguing about that” comes across pretty assholish. And btw, I’m arguing against the anti-intellectualism point of view specifically, not you personally.
No-one knows every word or every thing. But stumbling across something you don’t know and figuring it out vs doubling down on your pride of not knowing it are pretty different behaviour patterns.
All I’m arguing for here is persistent curiosity vs ignorance.
Sure. And googling about that climate change hoax is waste of time as well, there’s too much leftist propaganda there. Or stuff about some_group’s human rights, these people feel iffy and I don’t want to drive engagement discussing them. Or lets slash women’s healthcare because I have my Bible here and there’s nothing else I need to know. Earth is flat too btw, why do I need to google what some NASA shill says, it’s all CGI anyway.
It’s a hyperbole and it should not sound reasonable, but this is what this type of thought process leads to. If you think your topics of choice are immune, you’re kinda missing the whole point of this conversation.

It’s not a “buzzword,” It’s been in use since the mid 90s. Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s a “fad.”
And I’m truly sorry your Google-fu is that weak. But here.
