It weirds me out when I see people, leftists and anarchists in particular, use "comrade". You sound like a communist dictator.

"Person" and "persons", "person" as in "mailperson", "salesperson" and similar forms, "persons" as a replacement for "people" best guess as to why it's used frequently nowadays is a fear of causing a "you people/what do you mean you people" situation.

or even worse, as a replacement for a gender specific term. eg.: barmaid changed into barperson. i'd rather be called wench.
 
The word literally. Now it means figuratively, so we need a new word to mean literally. I also hate how it has become the new valley girl "like." Hearing literally every sentence makes me want to figuratively kill myself.
 
"they"-ing people who aren't even troons...it's to the point where "guy" and "girl" are practically slurs now

"White supremacy". While not a current year term, it means literally nothing now. It went from labeling something that initially promoted an ideology that was all about eugenics, ethnic cleansing, and ethnic superiority to literally anything that makes "minorities" feel bad or accountable for their actions.

To be fair the term is at least accurate. The white race is supreme. Not necessarily in a genetic sense mind you but we do control quite a bit and for good reason. We’ve conquered damn near everything we could see and claimed it as our own. We’ve crushed nearly every opposing force underfoot with our vast militaries. When something happens the other races always look to us to see what we’re doing because they know to follow in the footsteps the giants who made their comfy lives possible. Remember, it was a white man who harnessed the power of the atomic bomb, a white man who made the very power of god manifest and turned it upon his enemies. How can you tell me that he isn’t supreme?
 
An annoying new trend that I've been seeing lately IRL are people dancing or doing other attention-grabbing stunts in front of smartphones on mounts - in very public places like shopping centers.

One example that really stood out to me were these guys in front of a movie theater dancing to really loud rap music they had playing from some speaker, as a smartphone on a mount was recording them.

I guess people are really pushing to be "Internet Famous" nowadays. I miss the days before smartphones and people trying to "get monetized" on YouTube.
 
When people spell Xbox "XBox" or "X-Box."

It's one word.

You wouldn't spell iPhone "Iphone" or "I-Phone" would you?
 
"Fash" is a red-alert indicator that the user is a hardcore far-left SJW who thinks that everybody who disagrees with them is "far-right".
