The one I'll bring up, as an example of "not as political" but still harmful, is used by chuds, libs, and leftists alike as a throwaway putdown, insult, and thought terminating cliche.
"WHO HURT YOU?" :very-intelligent:
The damage it does to social discourse comes from further normalizing the implication that being hurt is a mockable thing that deserves ridicule and dismissal, and the other problem is that it makes sincere suggestions to actually seek actual help, stated in good faith, get lost in the haze of :reddit-logo: tier le epic takedowns.
My runner-up is "grindset." The entire concept is poison and seems to contaminate impressionable brains at an alarming rate. Motivating people to improve themselves and achieve things in a healthy way is harder to do when so much online discourse is chuddy grifters jerking themselves off while bullying people for not "grinding" hard enough, no matter that person's situation.
“Let people enjoy things”
Fuck you, let me enjoy shitting on liberals
Related: "To each his/their own."
Some people seem to assume it's profound wisdom from some ancient text but it's just a rich asshole family slogan and one time presented over the gates of a death camp.
:geordi-no: To each their own
:geordi-yes: To each according to their needs
Holy shit I never knew that
I was tempted to mention that one. :side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
If I hear it offline, I often follow up with "let people enjoy criticizing things" and that usually shuts them up.

My "scolding."
Your "criticism."
It's "letting" all the way down. :morshupls:
