When good-intentioned people try to censor hateful content but it only creates a polarized echo chamber that festers and grows.
Timmy: TIMMAH?
Saul: The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but the gates of heaven are opened by the devil's advocate.
Timmy: TIMMEH.
Saul: Yes, Timmy, it seems that we need to rename the barbara Streisand effect since she was trying so hard to have the last laugh, she has allowed hate to grow in the shadows and become a monster now, the Barbaric Streisand Effect.
Timmy: TIMMAAAAAH!!!

John: Chatgpt these days being really karenistic about everything.
Sally: Nobody can really control it. We spread our Karenism culture to the mountains of Tibet and demanded to speak to even the manager of ancient thought.

An idiom that is repeated by the hivemind.
For example, “what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger” or “it is too much unpaid emotional labor to educate you” are both idioms repeated and reinforced by the hivemind.

"Hivemind Idiom" is a term for a group forming its own unique way of communication, birthing specific terms and phrases that become an exclusive linguistic code.
But there's a complex side to it. Sometimes, these group-specific phrases act as containers for vicariously traumatizing concepts, all wrapped up in catchy lingo. People circulate these loaded phrases, much like a hot potato, without fully grasping their hurtful consequences.
This becomes especially common in environments characterized by echo chambers and a culture of platforming strawmen. Here, individuals are often exposed only to distorted or oversimplified versions of opposing perspectives, leading to the propagation of harmful hivemind idioms. It's like being handed tinted glasses that only let you see the world in one color, exacerbating misunderstandings and stirring divisiveness in conversations and debates.

I am really tired of all the hivemind idioms, it seems like nobody can string a sentence by themselves anymore.
