Yes, they are delightful and extremely noisy Australian birds also called happy families, apostle birds or Twelve Apostles, or CWA (Country Women's Association) birds. They hang out in big family groups and are somewhat like a pigeon sized grey sparrow with the brain of a slightly dopey crow. They're "core corvids" along with Willy Wagtails (who have inflatable eyebrows) so they have extra brains to cause maximum havoc/noise.

Extra brains? Inflatable eyebrows?


Oh, okay.

More and more people are figuring out that you can write poo poo like this and then post a screencap on social media, calling for outrage. It's so goddamn annoying.

And it's not just the alt-right screaming "SJW LIEberals!" either, I've seen this crap flying around from all directions. It's a formula for instant likes and shares in your carefully-curated hug garden, and idiots can't resist making it and/or commenting/sharing/retweeting/whatever it.

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
A guy I know posted some poo poo on FB about liberals wanting to castrate themselves to fight the patriarchy or something. I pointed out that it was fictitious, and the guy said "I know, but it's something they would do." Of course 99% of the comments assumed it was true, and loved it.

Making up caricatures of liberals and then bashing them for being stupid is so common on the right.

It's like that video that was circulating a few years ago with all these "introvert" nerds making weird faces, trying to be a PSA for introverted people and their extroverted friends who apparently don't understand them. It was just music and subtitles, a bunch of funny faces, and saying things like, "This is just my resting bitch face," "Sorry that I don't talk, it doesn't mean I don't want to," and "Please keep inviting me out." Pretty sure it was Buzzfeed though, which even then everyone some people on the internet knew was dogshit.

It was basically a PSA for what happens when people get introversion and Asperger's mixed up, and also what happens when you assume that being introverted means a person talks less and is like, really smart you guys.

I'm an introvert, and even though I need to recharge after social situations, I enjoy being social and if you get me talking I almost need to be stopped. I'm also not that smart and I don't have Asperger's.

Sigh. Want to make everyone think you're a smart special snowflake? Call yourself an introvert and the internet will lay their collective hands on you.

"Introvert" has somehow been taken as a point of pride for a lot of people who want to feel smugly superior. It's really common on Tumblr, but you see it anywhere else there's people who talk about how they drink tea and read books and watch Doctor Who instead of having swag and watching reality TV.

The best are the ones that try to apply so many qualifiers to introverts that they end up just sounding like normal people without any unique social quirks.

"Introvert" describes a pattern of behavior and it's not actually a personality trait, type or disorder. Saying you exhibit introverted behavior because you're a person often exhibiting introverted behavior is circular and meaningless. It's a lot like the word "rear end in a top hat" in that regard.
