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

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.

Also called the meta-right.
The intellectual dark web gets its name from its momentous dominance of non-traditional media platforms.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

Eternity leave 

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
