There is a very set way these people speak. And of course then the bots amplify that.
It’s insufferable, and it’s also devoid of argument. When you see people on here arguing against an idea they use an actual argument - even here in this thread you’ve got the sort of linear logical flow (I am from the south, in my experience this is a class divided, example, argument.)
When you hear the y’all crowd speak there NO argument there. They aren’t giving you anything substantial back, it’s just fluff, written in specific jargon
Contrast:
1. I live in the south and in my experience this isn’t something people actually say/it’s restricted to x and y/it’s a specific language form..’
2. Y’all need to educate yourselves and stop being so problematic. This is a dangerous racist dog whistle, sit down. Uhuh.
The second has no data in it other than the type of language and phrasing it uses. That is the information being conveyed - it’s a shibboleth, it says the writer is one of a specific crowd with specific opinions and is compliant with all the current buzzwords.
Their arguments are empty. I’ve been wrong and told I’m wrong many times, and on here, i get told WHY I’m wrong, and what right might be and I’ll go read it and sometimes I’ll argue back and sometimes I’ll think yup, I’m wrong. With rhe y’all approach there’s none of that, it’s just a bright warning signal, like stripes on a poisonous frog, or a septum piercing on a blue haired pooner.
