Smoke-filled rooms where men sit smoking cigars while planning to take over the world. Conspiracy theory? It's more likely than you think--it exists in the digital realm. This latest 'trend' shows just such coordination on the back end. The biggest companies colluding together to achieve some common goal. Yesterday it was to deplatform Alex Jones and Donald Trump. Today it's to make one-word tweets. Tomorrow? I shudder to guess.
Trigger words have become much more of a thing in some circles, both positive and negative. It has to do with increasing communication via keyboard, and easy shorthand ways of inducing associations and experiencing emotions. I think it was partly an exercise in next-gen communication, a kind of new-speak of one-word phrases, of speaking to the masses as if to dogs to induce desired reactions. As dangerous as it is, I don't mind it, maybe language was a mistake. A single word is easily refuted by "NO!". But it's probably what you said too.
The apotheosis of Skeletor was cooler in my opinion. If you're going to assume the mantle of godhood you might as well do it with some style. Instead this is what you get when you hire college-educated plebs and give them a smart phone to manage your corporate social media accounts. I suppose that's just another feature of the program... It's a psychological weapons-platform that dispenses shots of engineered banality.
