It's this timelines Double-Speak.
Doubleplus ungood, citizen.
Idk if I'd call it all double speak. Some of it sure, like red pilled or black pilled etc., but certainly looksmaxxing is not double speak.
That being said; I fucking hate 4channers. I may actually spit on someone as a reflex if they talk to me like this.
Edit: also, I'm not allowed to say your name because of Arkham Horror restrictions.
Yeah it's actually speaksmaxxing. It's probably more than double.
Have you seen it? The play?
Have you seen it?
it seems to be used ironically the majority of the time
That doesn't matter. For every sarcastic comment online, there will be a certain percentage of people that misses the joke and takes it seriously. Over time, these people accumulate and become a real cultural/political force.
The Trump administration is basically entirely made up of these groups. Read through this list and you'll probably find a conspiracy theory you've personally made a sarcastic joke about at some point in your internet life.
Is this the link you meant?

Yes! Fixed it, thanks
It is. But nonetheless, we’re seeing it.
Those who get their kicks by pretending to be idiots, etc.
why am i strugglegooning urbanpilled changemaxxers on a server with corruptionmaxxing mods?
Every day we stray further from mods light
I hate that I actually know what those words mean.
well it's just some primitive online slang that's easy to decipher and identify. incel talk was never made to be all that cryptic, it's just hateful smugness.
If it was actually cryptic they wouldn't be about to figure it out.
For a while back in the early reddit days, i was subscribed to the incel subreddit and i thought this was all just satire. I found it all kind of funny....
Sounds like you need mog your bike pedals instead, if your cortisol level isn't too high.
Phoenix is crazy. It’s both super bikeable, and not at the same time. It’s the 5th largest city in the country after Houston which is way worse than here.
That's it, I'm selling my bike
What?
Translation:
It's so hard being someone who walks and does a lot of cardio in a state that's obsessed with cars and addicted to gasoline like Arizona.
I'm being the 120 degree weather has something to do with this as well.
But it's a dry heat!
A bike adds to the fun of dodging a giant laser by dashing from one shade island to another.
This post makes me want to buy a car.
I'll sell you one.
Fucking coids
