Why do I hear the phrase "tipping point" everywhere?

“Why do I hear the phrase “tipping point” everywhere?”

It’s the latest climate hysteria phrase. As such, those people who pay attention to whatever the climate-crazies are saying have picked it up. See the definition of “embolalia.” If the latest climate hysteria used the word “whoowhoo” you’d see that appear all over the place as well.

Merriam Webster defines it as “the interpolation of meaningless sounds or words into speech,” and Kenkyusha’s English Japanese Dictionary defines it as the words (embolalia / embololalia) with definition as a medical term to describe ‘disease or symptom to interpolate unnecessary words in speech.’

It’s the new buzzword. The Deep State and MSM get together on a conference call every week and discuss what is working and what isn’t. Old words, phrases and mantras eventually lose their effectiveness and new ones need to be used to keep the sheep terrified.

The best example is “global warming”. It lost it’s effectiveness so it was changed to “climate change”. All of their predictions from sea level rise, melting ice caps and dead polar bears didn’t materialize so they had to change the mantra.

So now they are interjecting “tipping point” to the mix.

Lather, rinse, repeat. It is always the same story but with new and improved words.

Because we’re at the tipping point of tipping point.

New catchphrase for the Propagandizing Liberal Media.

IDK, maybe Hank Johnson thinks the planet is about to capsize.

“Tipping point” and “Humanity” must be the latest talking points.

It’s leftist jargon. Did she ever even pretend to be a Republican?

“Why do I hear the phrase “tipping point” everywhere?”

The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true.
