“Lo, as X became more mainstream, so had its mentions taken on an increasingly memetic quality. X became a symbol of conformity to the capital’s bidding, a means to legitimize all sorts of viewpoints, even those inherently contradictory to the very principles of X itself. Pomp and pious displays of virtue and loyalty to the kingdom displaced honestly curious inquiry and communication of meaning, as the continued misuse of X had continuously diluted its true purpose to homeopathic levels of nothingness, while muddying the waters of understanding with the sludge of impressive-sounding words ringing hollow, devoid of the speaker’s understanding of their actual meaning or applicability.”
