A person entering a, usually controversial, discussion with the most surface-level, stereotype-based, and hyperbolic arguments possible. Their take then becomes the easy go-to meme response that spreads, resulting in a form of Flanderization for the discussion as a whole, cutting any nuance or complexity to the discourse and adding undeserved importance to it.
Some of the more prevalent examples of this are in discussions of Fermi's paradox, where the go to is, "Aliens don't talk to us because we're stupid," despite how much it's implying about the aliens in question. And arguments about America not using the metric system, with the reason often being, "Americans are too stupid and lazy to understand it," forcing a stereotype and ignoring any actual reasons the US hasn't switched over.
Since these arguments are often done for quick validation, they often have little to no research backing them either due to overconfidence of being right, or an unconscious fear of having to think complexly.

Universal Pollution, literally, refers to a kind of pollution that is affecting the whole world. It can be anykind of pollution, often not referring to environmental pollution or any environmental issues. People will not compete for Universal Pollution and its supply is far greater than its demand (probably no demand), scarcity will not occur. People would like to get rid of Universal Pollution. People would prefer less of them. It has a negative price and it is with a negative value to the consumer. Therefore, Universal Pollution is a kind of bads (opposite of economic goods).
We should get rid of Universal Pollution.

Useless Content is made and spread in various formats to create drama, outrage anger and encourages toxicity just to get the views. Whether it's fake or based on facts/real-world events, content is formed in a way to spread bad faith thought processes. Content polluters rely on provoking a knee-jerk reaction from reasonable people to encourage more content pollution. Nonsense content is also content pollution

The effect achieved when people unnecessarily reply-all to an email that only required a standard reply, unnecessarily filling everyone's inbox with unneeded crap.
There goes Jim again, constantly creating reply-all pollution. I wish he realized there are 100 other people on this email chain who don't care!
The reply-all pollution on this team is suffocating!
