Useless Idiot

Derived from: “Useful Idiot” (20th century Cold War term for obedient pawns of authoritarian regimes)
Modern Definition – 2025+ Edition:

A person—typically overeducated and underemployed—who, despite possessing access to vast information and elite academic institutions, dedicates their life to parroting establishment propaganda, enforcing groupthink, and shaming dissenters, all while contributing nothing of real value to society.

Unlike the original Useful Idiots, who were at least functionally useful to the regimes they served, Useless Idiots are a net drain on civilization:

Degrees in Queer Postmodern Interpretive Dance or Climate Reparations Economics

Attitudes of revolutionary importance while working part-time in coffee shops

Unable to foam milk or reset a router, but will lecture you on intersectional hegemony while spelling your name wrong

Full of rage when reminded they voluntarily majored in unemployability, and chose activism as personality

Self-identify as anti-authoritarian rebels, yet demanded you be arrested in 2020 for hugging your grandma

They serve you cold coffee with Ana Kasparian ("I'm Better Than You") sass and the smug self-regard of an unpaid MSNBC intern. They want the revolution, but only if someone else funds it and they still get oat milk.
“No, Kendra, I will not sign your petition to abolish Thanksgiving. You’re a fucking Useless Idiot who couldn’t even make my latte hot.”

Idiot

Anyone who considers “puppylike” a word.
I did the NYTimes Spelling Bee and the Pangram was “puppylike.” The editor must be a complete idiot.

Idiot

People that comment hateful things online towards someone who didn't do anything actually wrong, simply stated a fact. Basically, any comment thread on the internet where you have a group of people being hateful for no real legitimate or sensical reason. Thes types of people usually comment hateful things for attention or to hide the fact that they feel the exact same way as the commenter. These types of people often use hate as their feeble attempt to get girls or friends. Truly pathetic and hateful and lacking in common sense.
Idiot
Example:

Girl posts cute picture on social media or does a youtube video
Guy: "Oh man that girl is bad, so pretty"

Commenter: SIMP
Commenter: Down bad bro
Commenter: Ugh shes a minor creep.
Commenter: Bro chill down bad fr
