GrammarPoliceWhat phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?
For me it’s the term “that’s what’s wrong with society” and variations of it. There are a LOT of things wrong with society, and different countries, cities and regions have totally different problems. If you boil all these problems down to one thing, it’s probably because you’re obsessed with that one thing, not because it’s actually caused all these other problems.
I think it’s possible to use such an expression as shorthand for that one specific issue being emblematic of the kind of people/thoughts/values/etc responsible for more of society’s ills at large without literally meaning that one thing is the only thing that is wrong. It really depends on the context and the person using it, I guess.
Yeah, in theory I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as a term of phrase, I just think that in practice there are so many people saying it who I wouldn’t trust to pinpoint societal problems
