Here, I mean more the reaction to it, I sometimes cringe at the pronunciation or intonation in the way one would to nails on a chalkboard (the idiom can have more than one meaning or reaction attached to it)

Americans have trouble with any accent that isn't the blandest, nails on chalkboard accent.

Copyright law is gaslighting at this point. Piracy being extremely illegal but then this kind of shit being allowed by default is insane.

We really are living under the boot of the ruling classes.
