A weird hash function

There is this word, booming in popularity amongst the internet intelligentsia. Besides being an interesting concept to ponder on in today’s age, I have found that is also serves as a great ‘hash function’ of sorts where you can identify doomer discussions or content without fail.

The doomerism is generally financial in nature, which will be obvious in a second, but also tends to scrutinize technology as the medium through which the shitty things under discussion are made possible.

This ‘hash function’ key? financialization. If you need to scratch the doomer itch, use this puppy on your forum (reddit, HN) or search engine of choice and you can thank me later.
