• 21:06, 17 November 2024 Root talk contribs created page Sinicization (Created page with "According to an article written by Emmanuele Khouri for the "Epoch Times" (see https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/how-the-chinese-communist-party-aims-to-transform-religions-5758556?utm_source=ref_share&utm_campaign=copy) "Historians and missionaries coined the word ‘Sinicization’ to designate the adaptation of the external forms of religion to Chinese culture. The Jesuits started ‘Sinicizing’ Christianity in the 16th century. The word is used by the CCP with an...")
• 01:10, 1 October 2024 Root talk contribs created page Cancel Culture (Created page with "A narcissistic subculture of people who believe they have the right and the duty to change the dominant culture of America to advance the globalist agenda. This does not mean that its lowest minions are aware of what's going on. It has many insane claims, including: # Numbered list item Gender is a fluid concept. # Anyone can claim they're a member of the opposite gender (e.g. men can claim to be women and vice-versa). # Anyone can claim there is a limitless numbe...")
• 22:19, 21 January 2024 Root talk contribs created page DINK (Created page with "An abbreviation for "double income, no kids". This term describes a married couple with no interest in having kids, at least for a time. This could be due to their interest in paying of debts or building a significant savings account before they plunge into parenthood. This term is distinct from "dink", which can be found in standard dictionaries.")
• 21:59, 7 January 2024 Root talk contribs created page Gender affirming care (Created page with "An Orwellian expression. There is nothing affirming a biological male in cutting off his penis and testicles, etc. in order to help him fantasize living the life of a female. There is nothing affirming a biological female in cutting off her breasts and implanting tissue imitating a penis and testicles.")
• 15:03, 9 September 2023 Root talk contribs created page Bureaugamy (Created page with "A mix of bureaucracy and monogamy that arrises through the transference of the breadwinner role from the husband to the government. That, of course, has its own problems.")
• 18:16, 23 August 2023 Root talk contribs created page Neopronouns (Created page with "Wikipedia gives a technical definition of "neopronoun" which more than sufficiently defines what it is. The whole phenomenon of neopronouns is, of course, a measure of "wokeness" in our society. It's a sign of narcissism growing with self delusion. This is not an excuse to despise people who insist on our acceptance of their special pronouns. Rather, it is a sign that they are seriously in need of our prayers.")
• 21:44, 16 August 2023 Root talk contribs deleted page Pro-Life (content was: "Relating specifically to preserving human life at all stages of development, i.e., "from womb to tomb", as the saying goes.

Never mind that ''Utopia'' is a parody by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More Thomas More], who was the Lord High Chancellor of England who refused to bow to King Henry VIII's idea of a Utopian kingdom.

• 22:56, 26 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Woke (Created page with "As of this posting, you will not find the postmodern definition of this term in Dictionary.com. You will, however, find it in definition 1 in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the adjective form in the Oxford online dictionary and in definitions 2 and 3 in the Wiktionary online dictionary. There is major agreement in these more “woke” dictionaries.")
• 22:42, 26 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Digital blackface (Created page with "In a recent op-ed, CNN’s John Blake asks [https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/26/us/digital-blackface-social-media-explainer-blake-cec/index.html “What’s ‘digital blackface?’ And why is it wrong when White people use it?”]. He gives the following answer: “Digital blackface is a practice where White people co-opt online expressions of Black imagery, slang, catchphrases or culture to convey comic relief or express emotions.” I presume that includes a “white pe...")

• 02:27, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page White Supremacist (Created page with "Intended to be a pejorative term, but without having a specific definition so that its use is easier to defend. The term is composed of two somewhat neutral terms. White refers primarily to the Caucasian group of ethnicity, Hispanics excluded (according to post-modern nomenclature). There is nothing in the definitions of these terms to imply inherent badness. Negative connotations creep in as a result of the progressive movement's judgments of European and American hist...")

• 02:25, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Weak Theology (Created page with "Weak Theology is a term invented by a postmodern theologian to describe how he wanted to think of God. Not to be confused with the mathematical term "weak topology" which is a valid and significant study of dual vector spaces, weak theology appropriately reflects the intellect of its chief exponent even if it doesn't say much about God that is true or hasn't already been said in a deeper context before. (Not happy with the transcendence of God? Then join the ranks of the...")
• 02:23, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Virtue Signaling (Created page with "''Wikipedia's'' article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling virtue signaling] traces its history to its use by academics, but then notes :Virtue signaling rose in popularity as a pejorative term, denouncing empty acts of public commitment to unexceptional good causes. In Bartholomew's original article, he describes virtue signaling as a public act with very little associated cost that is intended to inform others of one's socially acceptable alignment on...")
• 02:22, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page U.S. Constitution (Created page with "There has always been a powerful, even existential, tension between the established principles of the U.S. Constitution and natural law and our better human aspirations, especially the humanitarian aspirations of elites. Historically, the U.S. Constitution began its life as an attempted formal written expression of the latter two. Yet, over time, American executives, legislators and jurists have found that their perceptions of what should be and what is codified in law...")
• 02:21, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Tyranny (Created page with "20th century definition: cruel and oppressive government or rule (OED). 21st century definition: government by people who pretend to be what they aren't. (Why not?).")
• 02:20, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Two Party System (Created page with "The preferred political system by which the will of the people is expressed and/or shaped. The principle purpose of the two party system is to give voters a sense that they have something to gain from participation in the electoral system. As long as that participation never threatens the oligarchy, great latitude is to be permitted in the selection of candidates and the adoption of party platforms. All forms of social permissiveness or rigor are acceptable provided tha...")
• 02:19, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Truth (Created page with "Truth is that protean quality of self-determined affirmation of a putative state of reality which is exemplified by Steven Colbert's term "truthiness." Truth takes on the pseudo-tautological form "what's true for you is true for you. What's true for me is true for me." The protean character of "truth" was brilliantly exemplified in Major General David Meade's declaration, in a 1994 recap of a U.S. "peacekeeping mission" to Haiti, "...our reality changed..." Reality and...")
• 02:18, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Totalitarian (Created page with "A person raised in an authoritarian environment who decided to take the ultimate revenge. Or, as Prof. Robert P. George put it (See [https://www.facebook.com/RobertPGeorge/posts/10155417655377906 totalitarian].)... : Ordinary authoritarians are content to forbid people from saying things they know or believe to be true. Totalitarians insist on forcing people to say things they know or believe to be untrue.")
• 02:17, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Tolerance (Created page with "Tolerance has come to imply a systematic effort to alter one's own natural or cultural reaction to someone else's culture or practice from a state of negative critique to positive affirmation. If one doesn't think, for example, that a homosexual, profligate, polygamous, transgender, materialistic, life-negligent, ephebophilic, or artificially egalitarian lifestyle or regime is morally acceptable, one acquires the positive duty to alter one's world view to accommodate the...")
• 02:16, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Thought Control (Created page with "Thought Control was a hot topic in the mid 20th century, due to the legacy of mass socialist movements such as Nazism and Communism, and to the writing of important dystopian novels, such as ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'', ''Brave New World'', ''Animal Farm'', ''Fahrenheit 451'', ''Lord of the Flies'', and ''Catch 22''. It's related to terms like "brain washing", "thought police" and even "nudge". See [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwashing Brainwashing]. Actual thought...")
• 02:15, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Theocracy (Created page with "Government by folks who believe that God is the ultimate lawmaker. In the narrowest sense, theocracy is government by folks who have a very limited notion of what God's law is all about but who, nevertheless, believe that their idea of God's law must prevail over everyone else's. An example is a Caliphate operating according to Sharia Law.")
• 02:14, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Supremacist (Created page with "A term which is permitted only in the context of the complete term "White Supremacist", thereby ensuring that it can be used interchangeably with the term "Racist."")
• 02:13, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Supersidiarity (Created page with "A forbidden term. The opposite of subsidiarity, another forbidden term.")
• 02:13, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Subsidiarity (Created page with "A forbidden term. The only reason people are not attacked for using terms like "subsidiarity" and "supersidiarity" is that they are complex enough (having 6 and 7 syllables, respectively) that most people's eyes glaze over when they are mentioned. And, for those few people who are capable of a partial comprehension of such terms, there's always the progressive semantic dodge that effectively nullifies their effect as useful terms. For those of you who, out of curiosity...")
• 02:11, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Spox (Created page with "A search of Wikipedia for "spox" turns up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spokesperson Spokesperson], which is already "gender neutral", but is unsatisfactorily polysyllabic. This mindset is typified by a line from the movie "Amadeus". Disturbed by the complexity and subtlety of Mozart's music, the Emperor Joseph II (so ably played by Jeffrey Jones) comments "Too many notes." It's an example of the postmodern modification of language that erases etymology and other h...")
• 02:10, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Solipsism (Created page with "Solipsism, in the traditional sense, is a theory that reality consists solely of a single person (the solipsist) and all of the apparent surrounding reality, including other persons, is nothing more than products of imagination. Postmodern solipsism is the end reality of postmodern moral relativism, the belief that all moral reality is egocentric, i.e., subject to personal whim. There is an intermediate stage, which we can term aggressive progressivism, in which the su...")
• 02:09, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Sociopath (Created page with "People used to use the term "psychopath." Although dictionaries often give slightly different definitions for these two terms, there does not seem to be a substantive technical difference. The term psychopath entered the vernacular in the 60s with the release of Alfred Hitchcock's movie, ''Psycho'', a name that strikes me as having a more compelling ring than ''Socio''. This cultural/psychological difference between the terms helps to explain why the preferred term toda...")
• 02:07, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Situational Ethics (Created page with "A forbidden term. In the antiquated sense, "situational ethics" denotes the idea that different ethical principles apply to different circumstances, and that there are no universally applicable moral rules, except, of course, for the rule that says there are no such rules. As such, the moral philosophy of "situational ethics" is not purely relative (so a situational ethicist is not, per se, a moral relativist), but only situationally so. Thus, instead of saying "Don't i...")
• 02:06, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Sexual freedom (Created page with "Gertrude Stein's famous line about roses was intended to heighten the reality of the sense of a rose in the imagination of her reader. These days, the modern psycho-sophist has other aims. Aiming to regain control of a debate that is lost when normal discourse and normal sanity prevails, the psycho-sophists invent specialized terms that mean something quite different than one might expect from the meanings of the words from which they are composed. Hearing such terms,...")
• 02:05, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page SIXHIRB (Created page with "I had to look this one up. It wasn’t on Wikipedia, but I found it in the Urban Dictionary. Here we go: * Sexist * Intolerant * Xenophobic * Homophobic * Islamophobic * Racist * Bigoted I’m quite sure this list will only grow longer with time. Why? Because the “woke” are inherently narcissistic and believe they’re better than others. To try to prove that to themselves, they compile a list of traits they consider to be negative and that people who disagree...")
• 02:03, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Ruling Oligarchy (Created page with "Extremists in every national political contest in the U.S. tend to blame their failures on the putative existence of a ruling elite, or oligarchy. This is generally regarded as a crazy conspiracy theory, for the obvious reasons that no such cabal has ever declared its existence, there is no discernible stable pattern of success for either political party, and, most important of all, no rational cabal would ever take the country along the political path it has evidently t...")
• 02:03, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Right-Wing (Created page with "The terms "right-wing" and "left-wing" derive, according to Wikipedia (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics#History history of right-wing politics]) from the time of the French Revolution, when the main constituencies of the Estates General (a consultative body to the French monarchy) were, primarily, the nobility (termed the "Second Estate") and the commoners (termed the "Third Estate") sat, respectively, to the right of the king or to the left of the...")
• 02:02, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Republican (Created page with "In contrast to a Democrat, a Republican is someone who believes in maximizing opportunity, even at the expense of increasing disparity of lifestyle. While many other principles of life and/or governance have been associated with the label "Republican," no convincing case can be presented that any such auxiliary belief or principle is a requirement for membership in the Republican Party. Bear in mind, of course, that there are big government Republicans (who believe in g...")
• 02:01, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Reproductive Health Services (Created page with "Any medical services that pertain to human reproduction, especially its enjoyment and its suppression. See Reproductive Health.

• 02:00, 6 March 2023 Root talk contribs created page Reproductive Health (Created page with "The ability to have sex without consequences, like having children or catching a venereal disease. In psychology it refers to the ability to have sex as one chooses without suffering either the complications of guilt or the anxieties that stem from separation or the "dying of the flame".
