In Dutch we now have "mensen met een afstand tot de arbeidsmarkt", "people with a bigger distance to the workforce".  And kids with "challenges":tard:



They should make the euphemism "special snowflake" current.

I learned "thin privilege" is supposedly a thing now, but only in the western world. Go figure.  ::)

I can just imagine what someone from Africa must think about "thin privilege".

Yup I learned that on #gamergate in Twitter. Shitty practice. I REALLY hope they could back trace who made the complaints. Nothing I would like to see more than shitty SJWs have to face their shit behaviour

Not a new term but a person whose book(s) have been very influential in western society in a mostly bad way, Edward Bernays.

The "Father of Modern Public Relations"  AKA The Father of modern propaganda/ Father of modern Spin.

Fixed it. Was sleepy when posting it. Forgot to ad the "=".

Went to a museum yesterday where they had an exposition on "The Kim Utopia". Filled with Korean propaganda art that had been smuggled out of North Korea for years. Along side with a photo exhibition of pictures that had been made in North Korea. (Both approved of and clandestine pictures)

                        "Justice boner."  :trollskull:


  On some sites where I lurk and read about other people's problems, posters are said to have a "justice boner"
  regarding unfaithful/abusive/otherwise awful people in the OP's life, meaning they urge the OP to dump
  said person and go "NC" (no contact), etc., while wishing karmic catastrophes upon said person.
  People can get pretty bloodthirsty on behalf of mistreated people whose problems remind them of their own.
  Posters on these threads are the online equivalent of villagers with torches and pitchforks.

I'm not sure where I got that term from or if I made it up. I think of it as suddenly cutting out all contact, or going cold IRL and avoiding someone.
