3180. stupid idiot garbage trash / casting ideology or movement as stupid idiot garbage trash -> you've almost certainly seen it. when someone implies that a particular ideology is so incredibly stupid it ought never have butted its head into society or into the discussion. sometimes hidden behind the word "extreme" when the true connotative meaning of extreme is "idiotic"

Sub-cases

3181. progressives as stupid idiot garbage trash / gender studies professors as stupid idiot garbage trash (generic) -> Toryism; see Dinesh D'Souza's awful book
3182. non-Liberals as stupid idiot garbage trash
3183. Communists as stupid idiot garbage trash (Communist allies as; motif) -> see: Starlight Glimmer, "dumbacabra" (Aster/Aubepine)
3185. party-nations as stupid idiot garbage trash (Communist parties; Communist theorists, anarchism) -> distinct from the concept of targeting mere individual Communist allies or "believers", this is the concept that Communist parties trying to take control of society have no place in society or have forfeited their place in society because the definition of a particular nation-state somehow explicitly excludes Communist parties. the concept that Communist parties violate what it means to be Russian, Chinese, or United-States, and are not administering this core populational process of life or individuation properly. I think of the quote in Heidegger's letter that supposedly 'internationalism cannot make a better nationalism', vaguely implying that somehow there is something fundamental about nationalism that Communists do not understand because they do not seek to characterize nationalism "for its own sake" without the possibility of Bolshevism. if so, what even is it? I certainly do not understand that.
3184. Trotskyists as stupid idiot garbage trash / anti-Trotskyism (sentiment that people are Trotskyists because they don't know how to function within society, with the particular implication that they are in some way wasting space or wasting their party position or violating the terms of humanity and almost do not deserve to exist) -> not very common, but if you see it anywhere, it will come from Stalin followers. from anyone else, almost always takes the form of "Communists —"
3187. employees as stupid idiot garbage trash / classism (sentiment that only inferior people would be employees, that their existence is wasting people's time or space, possibly with the implication that superior people try to get rid of the proletariat and transform everything into tiny businesses) -> only common in the most insufferable right-Liberal works; prepare for said works to consistently confuse Director types versus Serializer types / Careerists versus capitalists, and try to give pure owners all the credit for inventing things
3188. ethnic group as stupid idiot garbage trash (city people as; neighborhood as; legal or illegal immigrants as) -> I am convinced there is not a big difference between Tories going on racist rants about how people in Detroit or wherever have inferior culture and that's why they're poor ("1350" conspiracy theory), and center-Liberal/Existentialist anticommunism
3189. homeless people as stupid idiot garbage trash
3186. imperialists as stupid idiot garbage trash -> see: Dragon Ball, Sunshine Before the Dawn. concept that imperialism is specifically such a stupid thing to do it will destroy a civilization, stipulating that imperialists are simply the enemy because they have bad inferior trashy culture, yet assuming it is not necessary to ask where it comes from. may be presented with the concept of Free Will wedged somewhere in the middle. one of the most bizarrely nazi ways to oppose nazis, and yet depressingly common
3190. elite experts as stupid idiot garbage trash / university professors as stupid idiot garbage trash -> one of the most contradictory concepts you hear out of Toryism: acting as if the literal most educated and most qualified people in fields are unnecessary to society just because Bob from South Dakota doesn't understand what they're saying. and the more people believe in capitalism the stupider the statement gets — right-Liberals go around acting like taxes are so bad and it's best to choppify society into the most autonomous chunks it can be, but then when they get their wish and that results in Careerism and households expending their own money to train elite experts who get into government bodies and start ordering people around, there's still presumed to be some argument that they don't inherently have the right to do that. all elite experts are just expressions of capital the same as a business territory is.
3191. art students as stupid idiot garbage trash
3192. specific scientific field as stupid idiot garbage trash / string theorists as stupid idiot garbage trash
3193. what passes for macroeconomics in Croatia / Third World professors as stupid idiot garbage trash -> "macroeconomics in Croatia" is an anecdote I heard from relatives, in which a professor from Croatia with a degree was upset he had to get another entire degree to be considered worthy of performing economics in the United States. because he "only" knew what passes for macroeconomics in Croatia! Croatian economics, not real economics. this is what happens when you believe that Third World countries are badly developed "because of" Bolshevism: once they dismantle Bolshevism, then it becomes that the countries are inferior because they have "Croatian" economics or "Chinese" economics.
3194. disabled people as less than real people / ableism (motif) -> I feel slightly uncomfortable labeling this one along with the "stupid idiot garbage trash" entries because of the way it's possible to take it literally — Tories saying disabled people not being able to to do things should mean they're not good for things. so I guess we Take It Seriously on this one
3199. particular name as stupid idiot garbage trash / people with specific name as stupid idiot garbage trash -> superset of: Karen, Kevin, etc. this concept was discussed in Freakonomics, and unfortunately it seems a bunch of people deployed the "pointing out racism is being racist" fallacy to mistakenly denounce the book.
3086. Kevins don't belong in Germany / Only someone who doesn't belong in Germany would be named Kevin -> an interesting phenomenon where in the 1990s people in Germany were adopting names from United States movies and some people became convinced these families of people were pretenders who must be giving their kids cool names because they have nothing else to show. [1] the dissolution of East Germany sure looks a lot less "uplifting" when you put this on the timeline as what was happening at about the same time
3087. Karens don't belong in Seattle / People who don't belong in the United States are named Karen -> Karen takes longer to explain than Kevin, I feel like. Karen was a popular name at approximately the same time as the baby boom, so it's partially synonymous with "boomers", but not precisely. there was something about putting an exact name and portrait on ill-informed older people that made it easier for people to point to them as a group and point out the bad things they were regularly doing. at the same time it's concerning that this is the way it had to be done. you look at Marxist academics and the non-Gramscians will act confused why all the people in the United States aren't easily united into one population around local proletarian struggles, beginning at "meeting them at whatever consciousness they're at". but if you observe the motions of real people what you really see is weird things like everybody uniting against The Karens. the place that people are "at" is everybody sorting into these highly demographic-based subpopulations like all the White women of a particular age range likely to be named Karen, all the 25-year-old transgender people named Alex, the Black people in city A, the Black people and Latinos in city B. and then the Alexes and Brookses start going on about the Karens and how the Karens are terrible to other subpopulations as a countable Culture. there is this distinct natural division into competing subpopulations and need to locate all the Karens in order to surround them and cut them out where otherwise there would be no way to control them. it makes no sense at first sight and it's exhausting. all I can be sure of is that human beings don't naturally form into nation-states, and it would appear they form into countable Cultures at least slightly smaller than the United States, similar to if you hypothetically cut the Soviet Union in half and made half of it Trotskyist.
