# Shitword

Shitwords are very shitty words, typically ones in wide use and perceived as positive when under closer inspection they're revealed to actually signify something evil. They may also be words that are overused, unnecessary, shifting focus on wrong concepts, being arbitrarily invented by crappy ideologies etc. Shitwords are bad in being misused, misleading, sustaining evil mentality and pushing harmful concepts; they're typically encountered in propaganda (usually spread without the speaker even realizing he is doing it). Nevertheless these words are part of practically all daily conversation in 21st century dystopia; currently the only place where they are correctly handled is this wiki. Note that these words must NOT be censored, for censorship is itself an evil that must never be practiced -- it is very important NOT to develop any form of newspeak like pseudoleft does -- this is not a blacklist but a wall of shame. Instead of "removing" words we must rather realize what they truly stand for, what harm they bring, and start to treat them accordingly. The difference here is the same as applying speech filters and censorship (wrong) and applying mindfulness to become better aware of what we previously ignored (correct).

Shitwords include the following:

- **afroamerican**: completely shitty SJW term retarded on all fronts: absolutely unnecessary (you can say "black", it's not even offensive), too long and a mouthful to pronounce ("black" still wins here), inaccurate and misleading (Are blacks living outside America still "afroamerican"? Are white Africans in America also "afroamerican"? Will each country now has its own "afroX" term now? What if someone is known to be black but his nationality is unknown? Etc. Again, "black" is superior), whoever invented this must have been the biggest idiot in the universe
- **assertiveness**: fancy word for behaving like an asshole
- **bleeding edge**: update culture buzzword
- **brave**: may in theory have valid uses ("not being afraid of danger"), but is overwhelmingly used in connection to fight culture and hero culture (the adjective "brave" serves as a badge label, a reward for soldiers)
- **career (job, ...)**: capitalist concept, linked to work, competition and productivity obsession, subduing and conformance to the system, lifelong slavery, bullshit, harmful cults
- **coding**: shitting out hasted, low quality code (name matters, focus is on "producing code"); see also *productivity*
- **community**: may be used legitimately for a culturally unified group of people who are related by sharing something, but is very often politically abused to imply this is the case where it's not, e.g. "FIDE governs the chess community" (implying everyone who plays chess falls under FIDE and should obey by its rules etc.), "LGBT community embraces this and that" (implying all people sharing the attribute of being gay together agree to support some idea) etc.
- **competition**: root cause of absolutely all societal evil, as a social mechanism always undesirable, cause of fascism, wars, inequality, capitalism, criminality, eventually genocide, racism etcetc.
- **content (as in "content creator")**: vomit inducing dystopian language rape, connected to consumerism and update culture, "content" is used instead of "art" so that whatever is it is that's "produced" here doesn't have to imply any quality or value at all, it is literally just a pure SOMETHING to consume
- **diversity** (in certain senses): SJW bullshit, see also "inclusivity" etc.
- **ethnicity**: just say race for fuck's sake
- **fair**: concept ensuring that competition works as intended, i.e. that strong win and weak lose; once we reject competition, fairness becomes undesirable
- **fight**: perpetuates fight culture, violence, war mentality; incompatible with peace
- **gender**: basically just means sex, using the word *gender* only signifies conformance to pseudoleft newspeak
- **hero**: cult of personality, making gods out of people, distorts rational thinking with emotion, establishes social hierarchy, induces fear of disagreement, living symbol fueling fascism; see also *pride*
- **human resources**: treating people like resources is one of the most exemplary embodiments of capitalism
- **identity**: basis of fascism, egoism, self-obsession, fashion, bullshit
- **inclusivity**: another SJW term, signals conformance to pseudoleft, in fact means forceful exclusivity of unwanted social majorities, i.e. fascism
- **justice**: means revenge, anger, violence; incompatible with forgiveness
- **moderation**: euphemism for censorship
- **modern**: basically just mean "bad", "unethical", shitty, bloated, expensive, incompatible, ...
- **motivation**: pProductivity cult](productivity_cult.md) term, euphemism for something that forces you to slavery or something else you don't really want to do; things like *death threat* or *blackmailing* do not sound "positive", so the term *motivation* is used instead
- **neurodivergent**: newspeak bullshit, signals conformity and obedience of the pseudoleftist ideology
- **open source**: unethical capitalist movement aimed at business, NOT freedom or ethics; forceful degeneration of free software, explicitly abandons ethics, its goal is only shallow "openness" (source availability etc.), supports free market, capitalism and corporations, is to serve business, not people
- **person** (also p-word): signals conformance to pseudoleft; it's better to use other words such as "man", "human", even "individual" etc.
- **personal growth / self improvement**: tightly linked to productivity cult
- **popularization**: propaganda, manipulation, forcing; nothing must be made artificially more or less popular than it gets naturally; popularization of any concept always leads to its destruction by mainstreamization
- **pride**: basis of fascism, feeling of superiority, divides people; related to fight culture, competition etc.
- **privacy**: bullshit, basis for lucrative business, comes with increasing censorship, paranoia, fear, state control, dehumanization; incompatible with information freedom, simplicity, openness, transparency, ...
- **problematic**: used by SJWs to euphemistically mark something or someone for canceling and/or censorship
- **productivity**: materialism, capitalist cult of constantly producing for its own sake, making people into robots, judging worth of people by how much they can produce, putting quantity before quality, production before any other values such as mental health; spawns fanatic religious cults
- **progress**: aiming only for novelty, endless growth for its own sake (cancer), not for good
- **protection**: fight culture term, usually euphemism for censorship, surveillance, giving up freedom, establishing police states, punishments, suggesting fear of being "attacked" etc.
- **queer**: just say mentally ill
- **respect**: has valid uses (mostly as a verb, e.g. "I respect your opinion"), but is often used as a euphemism and fuzzy propaganda term, appearing a lot in COCs to establish generic "we can ban you for whatever we want" rules such as "treat others with respect" (where respect stands for things that the forum admin likes)
- **responsibility**: punishment (even if only internal, psychological) for bad behavior, based on guilt, limits freedom
- **revolution**: means violence, hysteria, war, angry mob, blind destruction of anything old, guillotines and bloodshed
- **retro**: sometimes may be legit but it's more of a rule now that retro things only attempt to imitate, to LOOK like old ones (while internally staying poisoned with modern technology), implying for example pseudominimalism etc., also a buzzword
- **(human/legal) right**: establishes that "what's not explicitly allowed is forbidden", increases reliance on law and focus on mere legality, makes basic freedoms into privileges, makes people slaves to constant activism; "right" is often used to mean "restriction" (as in copyright etc.)
- **safe space**: another euphemism that sounds like almost opposite of what it really is: a place of terror, highly controlled, censored, monitored police-state dystopia enforcing specific political thinking, eliminating freedom of speech, yielding absolute control to the state (or server owner etc.)
- **safety**: buzzword related to "protection", "safe space", comes with loss of freedom, yielding power to others etc.
- **security**: related to "privacy", business based on fear, increases obscurity, proprietary and closed technology, bloat, bullshit, fight culture, competition, ...
- **smart**: buzzword, means surveillance, obscurity, bloat and shittyness in general
- **solution (instead of "software", "system" etc.)**: buzzword, absolute retardation bordering with clinical brain death, how long before we start calling software a "salvation" or any kind of similar crap?
- **state of the art**: update culture buzzword
- **sustainability**: modern keyword that shifts focus from trying to do good things to simply trying to do things that can be repeated forever, which will be abused (e.g. to establish eternal slavery -- it's "good" as long as it can be kept going forever)
- **to google**: word implying usage of shitty terrorist unusable proprietary parody of a search engine, rather say *look up*
- **update, modernization, up-to-data, latest, ...**: perpetuates update culture, prevents things from being finished
- **work** (in certain senses): means slavery, human working is doing machine's job and loses his humanity, stops living to do something that non-living things do -- it's better to create than to work
- LGBT newspeak terms, including but not limited to **non-binary**, **genderfluid**, **cis**, **xer** (and other "neopronouns"), **body dysmorphia**, **MAP** etc.: retardation squared
