The following is a guest post by S. J. Activista.
Greetings, Revolutionaries!
I’m writing at Underthrow today because I demand my voice be heard. Anyone who disagrees should know I will not be erased. To deny me social justice is to deny me my human rights. As part of a five-year plan, which requires our continued march through the institutions, we’ll need a common lexicon (or maybe a lexicon for commoners).
Use the following terms to dismantle the patriarchy, capitalism, racism, and pretty much anything we hate or that interferes with our cluster-B politics.
The Common Good. Anything we want or think others should have at others’ expense. (Also “Public Interest” or “Public Good”)
Democracy. Any political action that benefits us and our pet causes. (See also Anti-democratic—People threatening to vote for someone we despise.)
Fascism. Any political action that is at odds with progressive causes–causes that almost always require unholy collusion between corporations and the state (which used to be called fascism before we did it).
Human Rights. Benefits or privileges that accrue to individuals but that come at others’ expense and without their consent.
Pandemic of the Unvaccinated. A strategy to scapegoat those justifiably fearful of experimental products, which distracts from vaccines’ lack of community protection and risks.
Public Health. Negotiated policy decisions made behind closed doors between Big Pharma lobbyists and government authorities.
Antiwar. Advocacy for a proxy war in Ukraine, ignoring all other global conflicts—all while calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Renewable Energy. Expensive, unreliable energy sources that are more effective at signaling rectitude than powering civilization.
Climate Emergency. Pretext to force others to buy us our Teslas and other eco-bling.
The Social Contract. An imaginary agreement, neither signed by nor agreed to by anyone that represents things progressives want at others’ expense.
Student Debt Forgiveness. How we wealthy (and primarily white) progressives pay other progressives to vote for our candidates by transferring their debts to others who made wiser educational and financial choices.
Racism. The only possible explanation for why anyone disagrees with us or supports anything we do not.
Racist. Anyone who disagrees with us or we’ve decided we do not like.
Racist. Successful people.
Systemic Racism. The only possible explanation for any and all social problems, especially those problems affecting BIPOCs (Excluding East Asian, South Asian, African immigrants, Jews, or any other successful white-adjacent ethnic group that has developed magical systemic racism Teflon).
Anti-racism. Racism and neo-segregationism, shrouded in sanctimony and guilt hexes, by well-paid DEI consultants.
Critical Race Theory. A once-obscure intellectual movement that provides fodder for so-called ‘DEI,’ ‘anti-racists,’ and radical ‘social justice’ agendas, which we should always deny is being inculcated in schools, government institutions, and corporations.
People of Color. Barring successful East and Southeast Asians, Subcontinental Asians, some Central Americans, Africans, and people of Middle Eastern descent, any non-white victim who wants guaranteed access to positions, offices, or income.
The ScienceTM. A body of politically expedient, poorly supported, scientistic claims that our unaccountable experts use to help us bludgeon proles into submitting to our policy demands.
Intersectionality. An arbitrary quality that let’s you to get out of being cis, white, and male and join up with our team, steeped in resentment, hell-bent on destroying every facet of civilization. (Sorry, no Jews.)
Trust the Science. Blindly follow our chosen “experts” and authorities with questionable track records, whose policies will be proven wrong in time.
Government. A nexus of bureaucrats and armed agents charged with filling any and all outstretched palms, as well as threatening, fining, or imprisoning those who refuse.
Diversity. Variation in race, gender, and weight but complete and total conformity to critical social justice orthodoxy. (Excludes diversity of perspective, values, or political ideology.)
Gender affirming. Biological sex denialism, originating in postmodernism and adjacent theories, which activists and greedy medical practitioners use to justify sterilizing and mutilating children’s bodies in a vain attempt to reify the simulacrum.
Stimulus. Debt spending that gets distributed over lots of special interests and voters going gimme, gimme, gimme.
Social justice. The philosophy that benefits should accrue to certain protected groups—at the expense of productive or successful groups—based on categories almost entirely irrelevant to dignity, justice, or desert.
Selfishness. A motivation to ascribe to anyone who claims some progressive policy is unwise. (See also Hate.)
Cognitive Distortion as Radical Social Justice
·Black Lives Matter. A narrow subset of black lives, excluding the lives of blacks dying at the hands of other blacks, but including looters, convenience-store armed robbers, and other victims of white supremacy.
Black Lives Matter*. Our socialist comrades who took millions in donations from guilty whites, thought of the money as reparations, and bought themselves party mansions.
Modern Monetary Theory. An idea propagated by credentialed experts willing to argue the government can use endless debt spending without consequence, despite the consequences.
Transgenderism. Ignoring the realities of biological sex, sexual orientation, and ole-fashion gender nonconformism to propagate the idea that “gender” is something you can simply make up—well, except for the gametes, endocrinology, and bulges, which means sterilizing hormones and surgeries must be administered to children and always referred to as “care.”
Accountability Culture. Our strategic use of social media to recruit digital zombie mobs to shame, harass, and destroy the careers of anyone who dares to question us.
#Metoo. Leveraging real victims of sexual misconduct to agitate a digital mob that suspends or circumvents any presumption of innocence.
Unsafe/Triggered. How we feel when we are exposed to ideas that are rational, well-considered, and delivered by anyone who challenges us to rethink our priors.
Nuanced. A claim we can use to mask the incoherence and contradictions of our positions.
Extremist / Antidemocratic / Insurrectionist. Anyone who doesn’t vote for or agree with our party. Anyone who doesn’t vote for or agree with our party, or who seems vaguely redneck, or who shows up unarmed to protest when we meddle in or rig elections.
Queer theory. Word salad that has nothing to do with homosexuality and is frequently used to justify the exploitation of children.
Lived Experience. A claim that is difficult to support or substantiate with evidence, designed to trump competing data or evidence; a highly subjective personal anecdote that forecloses discourse.
Ally. One who defers to a critical social justice narrative without question and recites it as liturgy, that is, until *they* must be silent when a BIPOC is speaking, whereupon they are required to be subordinate and ‘hold space.’
Recession. A highly technical definition designed to obscure the truth and gaslight ordinary people suffering from two or more consecutive quarters of a downturn in economic activity.
Guardrails. An innocuous term for illiberal actions, intrusive oversight, or burdensome regulation carried out by our angelic philosopher kings.
Patriarchy. (1) Successful males. (2) A force that allows women to avoid responsibility for just about anything.
Malinformation. Truths that work against our plans to force censorship, compliance, and conformity.
Social justice. Abandoning justice for the sleight-of-hand of group identity grievances. (See also Critical Social Justice, which is just the above carried out with a particular sort of neo-Marxist zeal.)
Colonizer. Any white or white-adjacent person who lives anywhere.
Apartheid. What we accuse people of instituting but that we secretly want. for our identity groups once intersectionality no longer serves the ends of power. (See also Segregation.)
Israel. A people just begging for another round of pogroms because something, something colonizers.
White supremacy. A white ideology that makes people think the white race is no original sin, that whites ought to live freely, and that they ought not to be held responsible for the acts of their forebears. (See also Colorblindness.)
Queer. An identity group that guilty white kids can use so as not to be left out of the intersectionality victim Olympics.
Freedom fighter. Walks like a terrorist. Talks like a terrorists. Slaughters like a terrorist. But is not a terrorist.
Kink. Behaviors, dress, and ballgags are proudly displayed in public so children feel comfortable expressing all facets of their deviance at a young age.
Far Right. Anyone who refuses to use this lexicon or compliant scripts.
If you want to add to the lexicon, feel free to do so in the comments.
I think Ambrose Bierce started this with his "Devil's Dictionary." It's easy to get carried away with this theme!
