      Idiots just hear fancy theory words and then use them in random amalgamations to feel smart don’t they?

      Like this is so common I wonder if there is a term for it. Sort of a linguistic version of Dunning-Kruger?

        It’s the politics version of the thumb shaped cop saying shit like “I ascertained the kinetic threat quadrangle hypothalamus ordinance of the pursuit vehicle service weapon” to describe backing out of a parking lot.

      There are alot of psychology-major and docorate soc-dems who absolutely believe this, as it gives them an academic reason for their passive compliance with a system rife with inherent violence to distract from the fact they inherently profit from it because the more trauma there is, the more there is a need for their services.

      I’ve literally heard it said irl, this chuckle-fuck isn’t smart enough to create this argument, he’s aping it from people who actually went to school.
