Annoying propaganda buzzwords and catch phrases of 2020/21

Unprecedented
This adjective showed up in countless ads and press releases this spring and summer, such as: “In these unprecedented times...” another word that is interchangeable with this is...
Challenging

New normal
It’s not really new (see "unprecedented" above), and it’s also not normal. Seems like only yesterday we got out of the old new normal. Translation for new normal = “get used to it fukkers”

Heroes
From retail to healthcare, marketers called out front-line workers as heroes in pandemic ads, banners and signs. This is the exaggerated form of “essential or frontline workers”

As reporters and organizations have worked around the clock to provide updates on the COVID-19 crisis, one word that has gotten a lot of use:
amid

Trying Times
Over the past year, we saw companies struggle to find new ways to refer to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of using the word “pandemic” outright, they deferred to thinly-veiled references. “Trying times” is one of the more ubiquitous and least descriptive terms they used to describe what we all were going through.

Pandemic of the unvaccinated
is the current phrase that’s becoming very common. This increases the divide between the “fully vaccinated” or “double vaccinated” and the “unvaccinated”

Equity
This buzzword tries to hide the aim of throwing out the American principle of equality under the law. It is basically a mandate to discriminate

I think the next buzzwords on the horizon will be “boosted” as the updated form of “double-vaccinated,” or perhaps “triple-vaccinated

I am sure I am missing some

That’s a good one. Also “vaccine hesitancy” “conspiracy theorist” and “misinformation” in instances where those terms are misused to discredit a contrarian opinion to the main narrative

"Fact checked" is another 1 of those.

I bet Wincel has all of these tattooed on him.

Most vaccine topics. People repeat phrases because they do not understand.

All this information at our fingertips but people still choose to mindlessly absorb ideas from tv and social media because it's easier

Plus if you repeat enough informed-sounding phrases then it appears to others like you are actually informed

vaxx and antivaxxer
toxic (this word has lost all meaning)

racist (this word has lost all meaning)
hero/brave/courage (spoiler alert: you're not any of these)
and I'll take the ultimate vomit-inducing all-encapsulating virtue signalling buzz term for 1000, alex:diversity is our strength

Maybe if you put a quarter under your pillow and repeat this mantra 100 times, the diversity fairy will give you equal pay.

“Functioning toilet”

Yeah right slampig I saw you walking around with the overflowing chipotle burrito bowl and pumpkin paprika oregano triple latte and there’s no chance the oddly tinted fudge viper you just extruded in that bathroom isn’t still bonking around in that horrendously clogged toilet bowl

I hope you didn’t pay, since he didn’t take you to your destination - and give him 1-star. And with your mask down, aggressively cough in his car with your mask down lol

But srs, how did he know you were unvaccinated? Did he ask? I don’t think he’s supposed to ask, idk if it’s different outside the US
