leegist

leegist is a term that emerged around 2011, primarily within online communities, to describe individuals who hold a strong, often unwavering, belief in the correctness of their own opinions and perspectives. The term suggests a tendency to view oneself as inherently right and others as inherently wrong, often without sufficient evidence or open-mindedness to consider alternative viewpoints.

A leegist may exhibit characteristics such as an unwillingness to engage in genuine debate, a propensity to dismiss opposing arguments outright, and a reliance on personal conviction over factual accuracy. The term is generally used pejoratively to criticize someone perceived as stubbornly or unreasonably self-assured. It's important to note that "leegist" is not a formal psychological or sociological term and its usage is largely confined to informal discourse. Its origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have originated from internet slang.
