A sweet, caring, funny, gorgeous girl. She’s a beautiful blessing from God, she’s very smart and cares about her future, so if you ever come across a Narr in your life, think of it as a flex.

A populist-esque phenomenon. When someone adopts position after position because the position’s in-group popularity or astroturfed popularity.

This is most often done to increase (social) media engagement rather than being a sincerely held belief or only becomes a sincerely held belief as a result of its popularity and not its rationale or substance.

Surfing from narrative wave to narrative wave of popular opinion among one’s in group.
