Get the Weaponized Incompetence mug.Well, at least it's not THAT☝️ Right? Because people not liking your podcast doesn't really hold the same kind of existential weight, does it? Is it an Mk ultra? Am I in a Truman show? Did a billion people see my dick a couple of weeks ago after I crawled naked over my phone? Am I a brain in a jar? Will I get stabbed by a retard? I don't know Chris... I think my thing is worse...
Hym "I- Yeah, I can't stress enough how the weaponized schizophrenia is, like, much more serious than what you're talking about there... And that's only the core element of my thing! There are peripheral elements that are also worse. AND people are making YouTube videos about me, kind of. Really- It's- Chris, listen to me when I tell you this... My thing is worse and I'm better than everyone. Those 2 things of which we can absolutely certain. Let that certainty comfort you in your time of need."

Get the Weaponized Schizophrenia mug.A term used by bad managers and by friends, family members, and romantic partners alike in circumstances where they want somebody else to do things their way but they do not want to properly communicate what their way is (or where they are happy to wax on about frivolous details but never justify why said details would actually matter to anyone else).
They will describe whoever is doing a sufficiently poor job reading their minds as incompetent, and if they suspect you are doing a poor job specifically so that they'll have to meet their own ineffable requirements (if you want something done "right", do it yourself) then they will call it "weaponized" incompetence.
In their minds the term means "feigning not being good at a task to get out of doing it" but in practice such a campaign could only ever work when there's only one person who has skin in the game for the task to be done in a certain way to begin with.

"Don't you even know how to make me a sandwich? The pickles have to go on top of the provolone, and the mustard and mayonaise should never touch. You didn't even cut off the crust, and who slices a sandwich lengthwise? It *must* be diagonal! Fine, I'll make my own damned sandwich, but I swear you do this on purpose just to avoid doing it the right way. It's weaponized incompetence! *huff*"

Get the weaponized incompetence mug.No it isn't accountability. I'll murder your kids. You're not going to get away with paying someone else for my work. Your kids will die in terror over the stubborn delusional solipsism of some random asshole who is using my behavior as an excuse to treat me like a zoo animal.
Hym "No, hey, the weaponized schizophrenia is the problem here. How I've chosen to deal with it is this. If this fails, the child murder WILL work. I don't care about any of your sophistical bullshit. Eat a bullet. The person who ends up burying their kid isn't going to care about social cohesion or accountability. They're going to wish you had done otherwise and you're going to pretend to care."
