Even the smallest of these networks comprises literal millions of human beings... The hot takes that you see from a certain excitable sub-community... are not necessarily representative of "the Internet".
I will refer to these... as "Diffuse, Amorphous, Nebulous, Generalized Internet Takes", or DANGITs, which handily evokes the frustrating feeling of arguing against them.
A DANGIT is not really a new "internet" phenomenon: it is a specific expression of the availability heuristic.
It is worth keeping this concept in mind when participating in public discourse because it leads to a specific type of communication breakdown.
