Idiots Unite

A group of idiots who all seem so similarly idiotic it almost feels like they're part of a club.

Cult of Niceness

The Cult of Niceness is a recent phenomenon mentioned in a write-up by Bruce Frohnen about how some people prioritize "niceness" over doing what is right, masking a very deceptive act of discrimination that pretends to care about everyone equally while in fact favoring certain people who are unethical to help them get away with murder over others who are ethical and deserving of good treatment.

The phenomenon does not take into account that if you are "nice" to the wrong person (e.g. a thief, a corrupt officer, or a bad manager) or at the wrong time (like after someone caused harm to others or damaged people's properties), you are actually not being nice to the good people who would negatively get impacted by being nice to a bad person at the wrong time. In other words, the "niceness" that the Cult of Niceness promotes is not even real niceness at all. It is only a corrupt shallow naive version of niceness that is not good at all and is only meant to excuse the evil actions of evil people.

Usually, there are benefactors indirectly benefiting from the Cult of Niceness, whether financially when people are not reprimanded for falling for certain addictions (e.g. porn) or immorally when normalizing and excusing certain immoral behaviors.

Members of the Cult of Niceness hypocritically do what they decry by yelling rudely and angrily at the person they perceive as "not nice" without being nice themselves, negating their credibility and becoming easily ignorable by everyone.
In the 2010s, the Cult of Niceness became popular in online social media networks as mobs of unethical people would harass certain ethical people they deemed weak, unconnected-to-high-level-people, and worthy of being hated (while hypocritically claiming they were against hate). And, if the harassed people tried to defend themselves against the rude comments of the unethical people, they'd get suddenly called out for not being "nice" while the unethical rude harassers are let off the hook as "simply expressing themselves" and "not being hateful" despite their obvious hating on the ethical people they harassed.

---

A home owner got robbed through breaking and entering, and when they found the thief leaving with their belongings, they yelled at the thief to drop everything they took, but then immediately, the Cult of Niceness police cut the home owner off and asked them to be "nice" by not yelling at the thief rudely, thus allowing the thief to escape.

---

Someone on a mountain was running towards a cliff that they were not aware of, so another person loudly yelled at the runner to warn them they were going to fall off a cliff, but members of the Cult of Niceness immediately cut that person off before they finished their warning to inform them they were not being "nice" to the runner due to yelling rudely, which prevented the runner from hearing the warning that was about to save their life, and ended up falling off the cliff, benefiting benefactors of the Cult of Niceness.

BIFI

BIFI stands for By Idiots For Idiots.

It is pronounced just like “beefy”.
Dave: So, what do you think of React?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: OK, Golang?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: What about Node?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: Wow! Are there any technologies that are not BIFI by the estimation of software architects?!!
Tim: All technologies that fit a pro & con trade-off analysis! Unfortunately, none of the technologies you mentioned make the cut if a software architect were to put two and two together. Many wannabes these days don't even think about why they are applying a technology. They just monkey see monkey do!

Matthew: Tim, the software architect, told me that React is BIFI, but I don’t understand why?!!
Joe: React assumes a dumb audience to start, among many other reasons.
Matthew: Are you suggesting they assume I am dumb if I were to use React?
Joe: Exactly! For example, bidirectional (two-way) data-binding has been a staple in desktop application GUI development for decades, but React refuses to support it because they say most developers are too dumb to reason about it successfully.
Matthew: What’s wrong with that!? They’re making things more easy for us, no!?
Joe: I doubt any beginner would call React’s style of code easy, so I’m not sure they are anywhere near the target they claimed they were aiming at if that’s what you’re asking.
Matthew: Are you suggesting the makers of React themselves are dumb too?!!
Joe: Now, you’re truly getting to the bottom of why Tim used the term BIFI about them. React is literally By Idiots For Idiots!

BIFI

BIFI: By Idiots For Idiots

Pronounced "beefy"

It is a variation on saying: the blind leading the blind.
Humphry: Heard of this new website, Quora?
Benjamin: Sounds like the name of a terrorist.
Humphry: No, it's a website where you ask other people questions, and they answer them.
Benjamin: Ahh, so a clone of Yahoo! Answers!?!
Humphry: Pretty much, but they try to provide a nicer user interface.

A few moments of clickety clackety and the conversation continues...

Humphry: So, what do you think?
Benjamin: BIFI
Humphry: Is that a compliment? Do you mean beefy as in filled with features to the brim?
Benjamin: No, BIFI as in By Idiots For Idiots. Have you taken a closer look at any of the questions or answers? The answers are all wrong and written by idiots. The questions are all dumb and written by even bigger idiots. Thus, BIFI, By Idiots For Idiots!
