Due to my particular brand of Autism, I will recall words and phrases like one might recall a musical jingle from a commercial. This results in me being very good at learning and retaining foreign language, but also in noticing upticks in regular English words and phrases as they go into and out of popularity.

Recently, I have started to see a lot of Leftists in places like Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and even Youtube comments using phrases like "you're not even making any sense," "what are you talking about," "you're just speaking gibberish," and so on while arguing with other people. The comments to which they are replying are never any kind of incomprehensible or nonsensical, and it seems like this is just an attempt by the Lefty in question to try to pretend that his opponent has no argument. It could be right in the beginning of the argument or a few posts in. Sprinkled in along side these recurring phrases are random insults and swears. If I didn't know any better, I'd think it was a Glowie doing their best to follow SOP to rile up the other posters, or an AI trained to write this way.

Have any of the rest of you encountered this technique in your travels with increasing frequency? It doesn't even have to be political in nature, that's just where I know I see it the most often. I'm so curious about it because the rise in frequency that I've seen it lately makes me feel like this is something that some popular internet celebrity started doing, and a bunch of the NPCs took it as a software update and are now using it everywhere the same way they use "touch grass" like it's an automatic 'I win' button. Your thoughts and comments, please.
