I've detected a new shibboleth in a micro-tribe adjacent to mine: the use of the world "cruel". Mask policies are "cruel". Closing schools during pandemic is "cruel". etc I find this shibboleth distressing, bc it's a retreat from rationality / embracing emotion & projection.

12/ Quit it with the shibboleths. Think through what your words are actually expressing, and decide whether you really want to say those things. (Most things that you say, you heard from other people first, and most other people are idiots, so maybe don't just repeat things?)
