If you see a phrase or concept come out of nowhere and is everywhere in a very short period it's because shills have been assigned their talking point.

Its the same thing as if you are getting advertised to with something specific all of a sudden from multiple places. They are trying to condition your reactions and get a desired result.

5 years ago "shills" was the word that came from nowhere

Recently as in the past 5 years? That started a couple years after the Trump presidency, when people noticed fakeservatives trying to latch on. Since then the fakeservatives and glowniggers have adopted the term as well, so it's become quite common.

When you're as old as I am, five years ago counts as recently.

there's just a lot of obvious internet grifters these days so the term is being thrown around. can count styx, crowder, tim pool, etc... in with that category but the worst are the Q tarded grifters that should be painfully executed like x22.

I've mostly seen it of late in reference to Biden, but yea it's a buzzword atm

It is a few weeks old, not years or months. I have noticed it too.

It's been in use for years. I can definitely remember it's use in Groyper Wars, which was checks internet October 2019. And that was about the time fakeservatives started adopting the term.

I dont know what a groyper is. Maybe it was common in nich communities.

It's just one of those words that's captured the attention of the sheep. Kind of like efficacy did a few years back.

I had a stupid boss that heard the word "monotonic" once and all of a sudden everything he said had to revolve around things being or not being monotonic.

I just picked up a dictionary of misunderstood, misused, and mispronounced words at the Habitat for Humanity thrift store I was volunteering at today.

To be honest, it is a massive disappointment that could've been executed a lot better. But the other reference books I got were pretty neat.

Wow he sounds pretty monotonic.

He was full of himself, that's for sure.

Grifter or the Grift has been around for thousands of years in one form or another. The fact that its being used right now on both sides of the spectrum just goes to show how much the lame stream media is losing its grip on the messaging.

I first started using it in the early 90s after I saw the John Kusack / Annette Benning movie.

That it was popularized during the early years of the clinton presidency is just a mere coincidence.

I've mentioned this before but one thing that is really weird is I have never ever seen this word used on the net ever before literally a day or two after I searched wtf it means because a game I was playing had a "grifters" illegal business you could setup.

Ehhhhh not really IMO. I call Trumpstein, Coondace Owens, Ben Shitpiro grifters on the regular. The test is whether the person they are calling a grifter IS one or not.

There are a lot of grifter accusations that are unfounded, and we all have to kind of decide if it's true or not in that case. Are people like HandsomeTruth grifters? He isn't bringing in millions of dollars like Coondace Owens or Ben Shitpiro is, but he uses his donations to continue doing IRL activism. Is that grifting? I don't think so.

I do think Coondace Owens, Ben Shitpiro, and Charlie Kike are all grifters. All of them bring in millions of dollars and mostly spend that money on themselves, and refuse to name the jew in any capacity.

Use your discretion about grifter accusations, but generally speaking the little guy who pulls in ~$300/per livestream that goes directly toward IRL anti-kike activism is not someone I would consider a grifter.

On the other hand, look at TPUSA. Massively funded, massively grifter organization that pushes kike faggot degeneracy across the entire world, never names the jew, never does anything of substance to push back against kikes. 100% grift.

Dave of EEVblog uses it when talking about the Solar (Freakin') Roadways guys milking government money for their stupid idea. He's in Australia.
