yup, and it's nothing new. When I started at the place where I work (around 4 years ago) my boss told me that the company was a "safe space" for the people working there. I assumed it meant they were socially progressive on some level, since who else uses that phrase? after a while I realized he meant it's a safe space for conservative cishet white guys to air out their grievances against "lesser" people, and if you were one of those and felt uncomfortable with it, nothing would be done so they can maintain the "safe" atmosphere for everyone else.
I remember 4chan trying to sockpuppet their way into associating LGBT+ people with pedophilia by inventing the term "minor attracted persons" couching it in social justice rhetoric and spreading it via fake queer accounts and doctored infographics. Shit is still going the rounds too, I could find plenty of recent outraged comments on google, even now, almost 10 years later. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/factcheck-thelgbtq-community-isnotadding-p-to-their-acronym-idUSKBN2352IY/
Yeah you'll see it a lot. One of my personal favorites is when they call other people "reactionaries" after it's been pointed out they're reactionary. They're trying to "nou" but don't understand what words mean. They think it means someone addicted to outrage content and responds to that content (pure projection).
One of the other common phrases is "toxic femininity." Alt-left has fallen out of style, but libertarians are still using leftist sounding terms like "praxeology" to describe their pseudoscience.
“Praxeology” is an older term going back to mises, who was writing after marx, but I don’t think it’s related to the marxist notion of ‘praxis’ except etymologically. Still deeply unserious nonsense though
It sounds like chuds hearing social justice terms like "male gaze" and thinking they're clever by trying to whip up similar terms to own the left.

They're still running it, especially in that fascist Matt Walsh's audience.
Is that why I keep seeing internet chuds using terms like “blackwashing” and “black privilege”?
