Naomi Klein refers to the right co-opting left phases (triggered, othered, fake news, etc) as "pipiking." I think doing the reverse is hilarious, but also imagine a future where it results in an Idiocracy-like dialect 💀

Redpilled is also stolen from the left. In the Matrix, the red pill is a metaphor for estrogen. Anyway, I've taken the orange pill.

Good point. We've gone full circle, or line, on that one.

Idiocracy is a shit movie, language evolves, and dialects are not indicative of intelligence, which is another reason why Idiocracy is a shit movie.

edit: oh no i angered the rabid fans of Liberal Eugenics: The Movie again

Yeah, we can basically guarantee any future dialect will sound stupid to modern English speakers, as complicated and rare sentence structures will be dropped and new ones will be imported from other languages, na mean
