cyberphunkisms's definitions
A performative act or statement where an individual emphasizes or reminds others of their alignment with a societal privilege or metric of superiority, irrespective of relevance to the situation. Unlike virtue signaling, which seeks to showcase moral or ethical alignment, an UnnecessaryPlug reinforces traditional privilege hierarchies or classic idioms of status worship without any explicit moral intent. It refers to a form of signaling where someone emphasizes an aspect of their identity or status that aligns with societal privilege or power structures, but in a way that is irrelevant to the context or conversation. This signal doesn't aim to highlight virtue but instead serves as a reminder of dominance or superiority within a specific metric upheld by traditional privilege-worship idioms. A kind of virtue signal but without necessarily pointing to virtue, rather a reminder of you are winning on one metric of classic privilege worship idioms within the gorgonmatrix. For example, we play the race card when it is not needed or remind people that you are tall: Inserting a comment about one's height in a conversation unrelated to physical attributes, as a reminder of dominance in a metric often valorized by societal norms. For gorgonwars, Zapp Brannigan would be the ultimate archetype of this idea of UnnecessaryPlug.
Host: "Welcome to the show! We're so excited to talk about your new movie. It’s been getting fantastic reviews."
Actor: "Thanks, yeah, it’s been an incredible journey. You know, being 6'4", you really get a different perspective on the world, and I think that perspective helped me bring depth to my character."
Host: "...Right, but your role is about a hacker trapped in a virtual world. How did your height come into play there?"
Actor: "It was an UnnecessaryPlug, Jimmy"

Timmy: TIMMAH?
Saul: The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but the gates of heaven are opened by the devil's advocate.
Timmy: TIMMEH.
Saul: Yes, Timmy, it seems that we need to rename the barbara Streisand effect since she was trying so hard to have the last laugh, she has allowed hate to grow in the shadows and become a monster now, the Barbaric Streisand Effect.
Timmy: TIMMAAAAAH!!!

Get the Barbaric Streisand Effect mug.Lenin argued that the working class needed guidance from a group of educated, politically aware leaders, consisting of intellectuals and revolutionaries who understood the complexities of politics and economics, could create a clear revolutionary strategy, and ensure the working class aimed for systemic change rather than small reforms. The vanguard's role was to lead and elevate the workers' struggle to achieve revolutionary goals.
The reverse vanguard is how the CIA realized they can use a covert neoliberal ideology disguised as equity to infiltrate these communities and soviets by making sure the people who would dismantle the revolution would be the “least historically privileged” thereby forcing anyone with expertise to not take up space, while mostly scabs, or emotional labor prostitutes, did the most talking. This definition is part of #contentinternet and #gorgonwars which means you need to follow the white rabbit to learn more.

Get the MississaugaNite mug.Pretty much how the internet started to work once it was accepted that you can kick out people that don't agree with you from your online community. As a result of a culture of 'de-platforming' and censorship, what actually started to happen was that people started to platform "strawman" - intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat rather than engaging with an opponent's real argument - instead.

Get the platforming strawmen mug.I don’t like characterizing people by their sociopoliticaleconomicidenity as some standpoint epistemology would have it, I prefer to believe in the possibility of reaching towards a shared humanity, regardless of age or ability, and that every human has value in and of themselves - regardless of SPEID or Sociopoliticaleconomicidentity.
