"Hivemind Idiom" is a term for a group forming its own unique way of communication, birthing specific terms and phrases that become an exclusive linguistic code.
But there's a complex side to it. Sometimes, these group-specific phrases act as containers for vicariously traumatizing concepts, all wrapped up in catchy lingo. People circulate these loaded phrases, much like a hot potato, without fully grasping their hurtful consequences.
This becomes especially common in environments characterized by echo chambers and a culture of platforming strawmen. Here, individuals are often exposed only to distorted or oversimplified versions of opposing perspectives, leading to the propagation of harmful hivemind idioms. It's like being handed tinted glasses that only let you see the world in one color, exacerbating misunderstandings and stirring divisiveness in conversations and debates.

I am really tired of all the hivemind idioms, it seems like nobody can string a sentence by themselves anymore.

Get the Hivemind Idiomsmug. In a world dominated by the short form; circuit circumventing media, "Tick Tock / tick-tick" refers to a concept that has evolved alongside the digital age, primarily influenced by the advent of fast-paced, short-form media platforms, with TikTok being a prime example. Video killed the radiostar, and this term killed tldr, replacing it as the symbol the quickening pace of both media consumption and societal change because nobody even reads anymore. Originating from the simple mimicry of a clock's sound, it now encompasses a broader range of meanings. These include the traditional notion of time's progression and urgency, as well as varied colloquial uses. In everyday language, it appears as a flexible expression, adaptable to different contexts from casual conversation to specific subcultures. The term's adaptability reflects its ability to capture the nuances of contemporary life, serving as a linguistic tool that shifts in meaning according to its use and setting.

Get the Tick Tockmug. John: Chatgpt these days being really karenistic about everything.
Sally: Nobody can really control it. We spread our Karenism culture to the mountains of Tibet and demanded to speak to even the manager of ancient thought.

Get the authoriteamug. Egregorewars is a node inside contentinternet polymorphousmythology describing ideological conflicts between egregores, collective thought-forms sustained by groups sharing common beliefs, rituals, or intentions. These egregores compete to control cultural narratives, values, and social interactions. Gorgonwars explicitly exists within egregorewars as conflicts involving "Gorgons," agents lacking genuine subjectivity who compulsively repeat insatiable insecurity inspired vicarious traumatizing hivemindidioms (verbal clichés or symbolic "snakes" that do the thinking for them) that normalize neoliberal subjectivity, reinforce ideological conformity, inhibit dynamic thought and limit human collective potential. "Contentinternet" explicitly exists to sidestep the neoliberal hivemindidioms commodifying emotionality by making people conscious of these hivemindidioms and revealing these snakes in action, explicitly supporting hegelianegirls, faustianegirls, lacanianegirls, and arendtianfeminists in resisting neoliberal, privilege-worshipping gorgon culture by actively engaging devil’s advocates to shape independent subjectivities.

Get the egregorewarsmug. a term invented by #cyberphunkism philosophy to symbolize the rise of people debating with one another using non-digested ideas they themselves haven't come up with, or what Foucault, Heidegger and others recognize as "empty chatter" - mindless slogans that one hasn't actually digested but they just repeat as a form of bandwagon effect. Very much like an "earworm" which is just another "snake" on top of our gorgon heads.
hey dude i totally realize i was a gorgon participating in #gorgonwars when i was just repeating empty slogans and i had to go through a year of actually sitting and thinking and digesting thoughts, it was hell to do the actual hard work needed to become a subject.
yeah man, adorno totally talks about the importance of building bildung especially in a world which enforces neoliberal subjectivity through endless psychologisms

Get the #gorgonwarsmug. An idiom that is repeated by the hivemind.
For example, “what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger” or “it is too much unpaid emotional labor to educate you” are both idioms repeated and reinforced by the hivemind.
