'In crisis', 'is toast', 'fallen off a cliff', 'on its knees', 'rabbit in the headlights' - as long as people talk like that nobody will say anything meaningful, so discussion will become impossible.
Those words are being drip-fed to us, the general public. By the media, on social media, ? by Reform's chatbots.
The crisis that I'm chronically worried about is climate change. But that is one "crisis" that this campaign to get everyone well-worried, never mentions.
You're right. But it's ok - most people know what the soundbites mean, so never mind that using cliches means that the users' words can be twisted because they never meant what they said in the first place. It's utterly depressing.
