This article examines the use of the suffix "-phobia" in online alternative media to understand the intersection of political and medical vocabulary. Using the Genealogies of Knowledge Internet corpus, the study analyzes collocations and linguistic patterns. The analysis reveals that left-leaning online publications frequently use formulaic lists of socio-political phobias, often alongside terms like sexism and racism. The article discusses the relationship between this listing rhetoric and intersectional analysis, cultural perceptions of pathology, and polarized attitudes towards scientific and political issues in public discourse.
