Dudley is on fire right now, first as my guest on Digital Identity and now with his new article on millennial speak, which he has dubbed “Millennial Snot.” You’ve all seen it online, heard it on the news, and perhaps even been subjected to it when Trump comes up at dinner parties, church, little kids birthday parties, or anywhere else these people congregate.
Great banter, gents. Tim Walz and Will Stancil are the poster boys of hicklibs. Flyover state Leftist Baizuos who flex extra hard to try to impress the coastal elites they mimic.
I think one reason they speak/twit as they do with all these ugly tics is that they want to show that they 'own'--in fact *enjoy*--decivilisation.
Perhaps another thing about it is that it is indeed a 'flex': they can use this dumb communication style as much as they like; it doesn't change the fact that they're backed by Power and you are not.
This being so you're probably right that it will decline if Trump is elected. Expect the swelling of a leftist sincerity wave in 2025.
Peak millennial snot was getting into an argument with someone, asking them to provide any evidence for their claim whatsoever, and them hitting you with “it’s not my job to educate you!”
You guys are wrong about JD Vance; Hillbilly Elegy is garbage and he’s not respected by hillbillies. I’ll grant you that he was more comfortable with them than Kamala would be. He married an Indian. Why’d he do that?
Not cocking a snook (fronʔin) but do you realise that you use the ghetto glottal, e.g. in but, as /bʌʔ/. I don't know where it comes from; I associate it with sassy Bronx latinas but maybe it's originally from the blacks or something
Also among other millennial tics there are many literallys, the whole...thing and of course likes.
I understand you're not using them *in that way* but I'm maybe anticipating objections from leftist midwits with an undergraduate degree including a module of sociophonetics or similar.

I just hope it proves true that he touched little boys. I’m sure he did just fucking look at him.

good stuff
I don’t see you on X anymore. Did i miss something.
I bailed, will focus on Substack for now. If it’s fruitful I’ll stay here. Twitter stared out fueling this pod, but now it only takes me away from it.
Thanks for the reply, I’ll check in more often
