I'm just gonna leave this here.

Slopulism is a political neologism combining "populism" and "slop". It describes low-effort, emotionally driven political rhetoric and half-baked policy ideas designed primarily to generate outrage, rack up social media engagement, or win votes, rather than offer genuine, workable solutions.

Works well with social media technology that reduces discourse to sound bites and bumper sticker slogans.

Also known as "the PT", where supposedly intelligent, college-educated, mostly male posters breathlessly link to random X accounts with zero credibility in order to express their emotional political needs.

Fallacy
I think you'd be surprised. The high preponderance of post-grads on this board are very surprising.

Maybe, but I made this post after perusing the "socialism is anti-American" thread.

So did Fauci!

There are lawyers on this board who say things that are not true.

There are physicians on this board who say things that are not true.

While I don’t doubt this, mine is still in progress.

Turns out getting a doctorate is a lot of work.

A doctorate in aerospace engineering is a lot of work.

A doctorate in two-spirit feminist racial decolonization is not.
