Millenial Propaganda
I've been reading a lot of blogs written by a lot of different millennials, and noticed that they more-or-less have a '2-2-1' interruptive pattern. What I mean by this, is that they have two long sentences/paragraphs/clauses/etc., and it's followed up by a really short declarative sentence. Something like this. It's very irritating to read, because the flow is so incredibly jarring. You'll have one long word diarrhea to get you up to gear, then another word diarrhea to start cruising. Then you stop.
The pattern is also fractal.
In fact, the interruptives on the larger scale like between paragraphs are the most irritating of them all. This is because they often include some really, smug, pretentious or 'meta' aside; and it's like the millennial writer likes to give it all the attention just to make it even more palpably irritating. I hate it. You've got all these run-on sentences of verbal diarrhea that are purposefully difficult to parse inbetween simpler styles. There's no flow, everything is completely discordant, and it kills your reading comprehension of the entire piece. But then again, you have to think...
Maybe that's the point.
I say that because I've noticed this most often in hit pieces on cultural practices. Blogs copying social articles from The Atlantic do this a lot, and usually with very bitchy and whiny millennial writers. It's propaganda. By using this structure of long strings of hard-to-parse prose followed up by a shorter sentence, there's a kind of mental hijack that happens. The longer sentences become ignored, the shorter inspersed '1' points become all that's remembered, and this mental trick can be utilized to manipulate the reader. Usually for pro-communist causes.

Bump. Yuri Bezmenov tried to warn us. The interview of him is basically mandatory viewing for anyone interested in these sorts of things

Cursive writing was designed to kneecap the millenials in the age of technology, while the boomers who swore up and down we needed to learn it, or we wouldn't be able to read or write, refused to use or learn how to use computers and kept telling us, upto and including present year we need to learn cursive.


We were never allowed to have coherent thoughts without the eternal boomer screaming and throwing hissy fits over muh cursive writing.

I dont notice it all, you seem to be applying some sort of distorted understanding of the writing you are reading. It could be possible that you are just interpreting the information in a strange way or that you might be going crazy. Brains are weird.

I miss the classic: Introductory paragraph + 3 supporting paragraphs + conclusion paragraph. Millenials were tricked into writing like shit.

Cool story, kike.
Two questions: how the fuck would you know that these posters you talk about are "millennials", and how the fuck do you control for bots on the most astroturfed nigger board on the internet?
Thanks in advance for conceding that you are glownigger operator.

What's exactly the problem of cursive again?

you're describing a particular brand of snippy quippy writing that was in fashion in the early 2010s on the gawker blog network / vice et al, and later permeated into the factchecky deboonker style of buzzfeed and the atlantic and the rolling stone or whatever.
yeah it sucks and doesn't land anymore. but it's not a generational thing, they were just uncreative shills who landed exceptionally low-paying jobs through nepotism after wasting money on j school

he doesn't know that blogs are Gen X and millennials invented the phrase "nice blog".

I've seen that in some pieces. Usually seems like they think the short passage is a "hard-hitting statement," but half of the time it's an empty vaguery and the repetition makes it lose any impact. For what it's worth, most people don't talk or type like that, millennial or not.

You can look see the author’s profile pic and see, if not look up their professional profiles and determine their age. Duh

> how the fuck do you control for bots on the most astroturfed nigger board on the internet?
All bots are trained on text written by humans. That’s why the text they output has all of the same prose/style of writing, although the content it self might be bot-generated

Apparently not even one witty comeback. That was terrible. Have another shot of grain alcohol, Finn. Maybe it will give you some inspiration
