FUD = "Fear, uncertainty, and doubt". It's generally a crypto term now, but it wasn't always.

Jealousy is always the go-to with these weird nerds. It really never occurs to them that maybe they're doing lovely things and/or deeply unlikable.

The fact that they give a poo poo about memes is really telling. I chuckle at the original meme of Abu jumping in front of the bullet. When I see one I disagree with I either ignore it or get vaguely annoyed at it being dumb or racist. I don't think "How can I defeat this meme?"

Should be noted that the original purpose of FUD in tech was more like, “we have FUD about this, we should do research and a pilot program to reduce it.” Not, “he’s spreading FUD by asking questions! Burrrrrrn himmmmm!”

So just another thing ruined by crypto.

The bold part isn't true if you aren't not just terminally online, but specifically the kind of person that trawls for dumb poo poo. It's fine to use in other contexts. No one will assume you're into crypto.

We, the people who paid :10bux: to type words at people, are most definitely terminally online, but it's a benign tumor that makes us physically repulsive rather than being a death sentence (except for our genes).

Really? I literally learned about it in history class in the 90s because its a propaganda technique (instead of talking your side up, you spread FUD about your adversary, you should be familiar) and therefore relevant to the study of the Cold War

Yeah, I first encountered the term in the context of Microsofts marketing techniques in the 90s and 00s.
