    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
