Intellectual Dark Web

A collection of academics and interviewers who publish work (mostly in print, video, and podcasts) on a variety of subjects including politics, psychology, economics, evolution, physics, Islamic reformation, and comedy.
The group includes (from the political left to right) Bret Weinstein, Sam Harris, Eric Weinstein, Maajid Nawaz, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro, as well as others.
Most members of the group have been actively publishing work for years, sometimes decades, but the group came to prominence as a whole in the time after the election of Donald Trump.
Some believe the group belongs to the alt-right, but evidence for this claim is scarce because so many members fall into the traditional progressive category.
Man have you seen some of the hit pieces publish against the Intellectual Dark Web? They're getting hit hard this week.

Intellectual dark web

A "gated institutional narrative" (delivered by major sources like mainstream media, government funded research and university faculties) that elevates some conversations and tamps down others: for example differences between men and women
Today's intellectual dark web includes people who think that inequality can be changed into absolute equality and denies sex differences

Intellectual Dark Web

1. Cult of chronically conservative cyber cavemen croaking at the void, interminably.

2. Achingly boring pop cryptofascism for the anti-intellectual age.

3. The Bible Belt 4.0.

4. Judeo-Christian conservatism repackaged for braindead Boy Scouts.
The hilariously self-styled Intellectual Dark Web have a fan base of mouth-breathing trogs with an average IQ of about 70, almost all of whom reside in some form of fetid hole once recognisable as their parents' basement.

Intellectual Dark Web

A group of "alt"-alt-right academics who critique the right from a counter-materialistic perspective.

The meta-right frequently concludes that the Enlightenment was false in its phenomenological conclusions but meaningful toward effecting the modern era.

Also called the meta-right.
The intellectual dark web gets its name from its momentous dominance of non-traditional media platforms.
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
