insert previous rant about how fucking awful the term Gell-Mann amnesia is and how we should all stop using it, illustrated with that Batman "this is the weapon of the enemy" meme
aw, well, i'm not precious about the term. All I meant was that if you look at someone's post history and they're a chud, that should inform how you read whatever they write.
Yeah, sorry, this is just a pet peeve of mine. People, including many who should know better, have adopted a term specifically designed to shut down media literacy and foment a "do your own research" culture, and it maddens me.
All good friendo
