The drivelisation of our culture is an interesting aspect but too complex for a single blog post, especially when we take in drivelist politics, drivelist bureaucracy and the general trend of global drivelism.
Suppose we give it a go though and take a moment to reflect on the possibility that the BBC could more accurately have been named BDC, the British Drivelcasting Corporation. Similarly in 1955, ITV could have been IDV, Independent Drivelvision.
So many words and phrases have drivelised, thus contributing to the political rise of Drivelism and Drivelist ideas and policies. We now have drivelised words and terms such as democracy, voting, racist, human rights, welfare, economy, xenophobia, far-right, left-wing, socialism, socialist, liberal, green, environmentalist, carbon, fairness, equality, carbon, climate, sustainable, fascist, extreme, expert, science, clean, recycle, responsible, gender, catastrophic, holistic, community, pledge, promise, bombshell, jaw-dropping, risk, survey, study, unprecedented, fight, critical, literally and many more.
We also have drivelised words such as ‘decimate’, ‘fact’ and ‘proof’ where historically interesting or useful meanings have been drivelised into vague and almost worthless possibilities.
Or we have two common related phrases which are not strictly drivelised because they seem to have evolved within Drivelism for strictly Drivelist purposes. These are the phrases ‘the science says’ and ‘science says’.
It’s literally unprecedented.

Drivelism - the outcome of years of implementation of the lowest common denominator. Or perhaps the lowest common drivel.
