Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.
They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.
I’ve noticed a lot of people using words in sentences that make zero sense. If they can fit any if the “ists” or “isms” in it they will even if it has nothing to do with what they are talking about. If you call them out for it they call you a dumbass. I just proceed to let them eat their own words with a simple dictionary link. I especially notice this in those “woke” people and lgbtq people. (Not hating on your sexuality you guys just can’t use the correct words 90% of the time)
You say that about “woke” people and lgbt (for some reason), but I’ve seen so many conservatives who can barely put together a sentence.
What you may be noticing is that younger generations in general are less literate and use way more slang both irl and on the internet, that’s not limited to “woke” people and different sexualities than yours

Young people may perhaps be even doing it deliberately as a protest.
Can’t think why people would be calling you -ist. No red flags there at all.
Example please
That may be more of a issue that affects the youth and/or “terminally” online, rather then those who are identified as “woke”. Also when you talk about people overusing “isms”, I struggle to see how someone could achieve that.
It happens, I’ve seen it often enough.
Spend a few mins on tiktok. Wait until till you find a rage bait video and open the comments. You’ll see it left and right. It’s REALLY bad during election times. I mostly stay off tiktok during those times as I could care less about politics and people bringing none related things into politics just to spark more fire for no reason.
I’d say to make sure you’re not insisting on using older definitions as if they can’t change to reflect our more complex understanding of the world… but yes this does happen.
