Delusions of grandeur

Delusions of grandeur is a phrase used to describe those who have a highly inflated sense of importance. It is akin to in the sense that they both relate to the idea of narcissism, except that megalomania is classified as either "a psychological condition or an absolute obsession with having power, wealth, or grandiose things", as opposed to the delusion of actually having them. Grandiose delusions, sometimes called the "expansive personality", are commonly found in the manic phase of bipolar disorder and consist of bizarre inflated beliefs about one's own social status, influence, and abilities (typical themes include being incredibly rich, being a religious figure like Jesus or the Virgin Mary, being royalty, etc.);https://psychcentral.com/encyclopedia/delusion-of-grandeur/ they are typically treated with antipsychotics and other medications.https://psychcentral.com/disorders/delusional-disorder-treatment/
==Informal usage==
The term is also used colloquially to refer to hubris, or false pride in one's own qualities or accomplishments, exhibited by many people who are not clinically delusional. Many people have extreme confidence in their own ability and do not know enough to understand their limitations.The less you know, the more you think you do
For example, a number of people believe that they are among a chosen few that will be swept up into heaven by God at the end of the world, usually projected to occur sometime next week. This leads some of them to think that they are somehow better than those who, by their determination, are not thus going to be swept up.
Another example is those people who believe that the ideas bouncing around in their skulls are the greatest ones since sliced bread, when in reality they are a colossal load of codswallop. A large number of pseudoscience promoters and other cranks fall into this category. It is also a virtual prerequisite for any dictator worth his salt.

Demand curve

The demand curve is a visual representation of how much consumers will pay for some good or service in an economy based on different prices often used by economists. The demand curve slopes downward to the right, indicating that as prices fall, more quantity is sought after.Taborrok, Alex. "The Demand Curve | Microeconomics". Marginal Revolution University. 2015-01-02. Retrieved 2020-01-26. 
==Demand==
Demand is usually meant as the demand curve. Where the demand curve intersects with the supply curve (equilibrium) is where the price of something is roughly determined. The terms demand and spending are sometimes used interchangeably. The year end aggregate demand in an economy can be thought of as total spending."Demand curve | economics". Encyclopedia Britannica. Retrieved 2020-01-26. Because of the important role consumer and business spending plays in maintaining a healthy economy Keynesian economists often focus a lot on aggregate demand. A fall in demand often accompanies deflation and unemployment. 
===Quantity demanded===
The quantity demanded for a good or service is how much people are willing to buy of it at a certain point on a supply curve. If the supply curve for oranges shifts to the left because of a hurricane in Florida, the quantity demanded will fall, though the demand curve itself may not move for awhile."Law of demand".

Demisexual (New Discourses)

"Demisexual" is a "Social Justice Encyclopedia" entry written on James Lindsay's website New Discourses.James Lindsay. Demisexual. New Discourses. The article butchers the definition of demisexuality in an attempt to explain it away as "normal". Lindsay was one of the perpetrators of the grievance studies hoax.
The following is a side-by-side response.
__TOC__
 
 
==Final observations==
Lindsay's entire screed is based on a misinterpretation of demisexuality, resulting from confusing it with the different (and much more common) phenomena of preferring not to engage in casual sex, or feeling romantic attraction along with sexual attraction. His preoccupation with "queerness" and capital-T "Theory" has no bearing on, and no meaning for, the many real-world individuals who simply want to feel comfortable with and not isolated by the ways in which their sexuality is (through no fault of their own) undeniably different from what society "expects" it to be.

Democracy Index

The Democracy Index is an annual report produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit since 2006.Democracy Index 2010 In its latest report the top nation was Norway and the bottom ranked was Afghanistan, followed by Myanmar and North Korea. The index is compiled by examining the state of democracy in 167 countries and attempts to quantify this with an their Index of Democracy which focuses on five general categories: electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, functioning of government, political participation, and political culture. In addition, it lumps countries into one of four different categories: full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes, and authoritarian regimes. 
As of 2021 countries that were rated as flawed democracies and authoritarian regimes were considered the most common regime types with each being represented by 53 and 59 countries retrospectively and representing 39.3% and 35.3% of the world's population retrospectively. Countries that were rated as full democracies where considered the least common with only 21 countries that made up 6.4% of the globe's population.

Democratic-Republican Party

The Democratic-Republican Party was an anti-federalist party, founded in the early 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. It was commonly called the Republican Party for short,Detractors called it the Democratic Party for short, attempting to imply that the party supported "mob rule." A lot has changed. but it is not related to today's Republican Party. 
Democratic-Republicans generally stood for a smaller federal government, states' rights (which wasn't associated with slavery yet) and supported working with the French over the British.
The party had a monopoly on presidencies until 1829, with the party dissolving in 1825. It was officially succeeded by the Democratic Party.A lot has changed.
==History==
Following George Washington's decision to step down in 1796, the Democratic-Republican Jefferson and the Federalist John Adams faced off for the (then under construction) White House. Adams was elected, but following some unpopular decisions and attempts to suppress his opposition,http://www.crf-usa.org/america-responds-to-terrorism/the-alien-and-sedition-acts.html Jefferson returned and was elected in 1800. 
The Federalist platform became increasingly hard to sell as time went on. At the same time, the Democratic-Republican ideas of a reduced military, paying off the national debt, and eliminating a federal bankWhich they waited 11 years to do remained popular. By 1808 both Congress and the Executive branch were under firm control outside of New England.http://www.270towin.com/1808_Election/ There was some backlash early in the War of 1812, but following the U.S. essentially became a one-party state. 
==Too big for its own good==
As one would expect for a loosely-organized political organization with no opposition, the party quickly factionalized. In the 1824 election, they failed to decide on a single candidate, and a four-way race resulted.http://www.270towin.com/1824_Election/index.html After this, the party gave rise to the Democrats under Andrew Jackson, and the Whigs under everyone who hated Jackson.

Democratic Progressive Party

The Democratic Progressive Party (民主進步黨) is a Taiwanese centre-left progressive, social liberal, anti-communist, populist and Taiwanese nationalist party. It is now Taiwan's ruling party. Some say it is a social democratic party, but there is room for controversy.
Taiwan is a multi-party democracy, but it effectively has a two-party political structure where there are two main players: The "Kuomintang" (the center-right Chinese Nationalist Party) and the "Democratic Progressive Party" (the center-left Taiwanese nationalist Party). 
Kuomintang (and the Pan-Blue Coalition) agrees with the 'One-China policy' principle, but the Democratic Progressive Party (and the Pan-Green Coalition) disagrees with the 'one China' principle, and opposes reunification with the PRC. This is because many members of the Democratic Progressive Party are anti-communists and identify as 'Taiwanese', not 'Chinese'. So the Communist Party of China dislikes the Democratic Progressive Party very much and is relatively friendly to Kuomintang.
However, even though they are liberal, they are friendly to conservatives and ultra-rightists in the United States and are not very aligned with moderate conservatives or liberals. This is because the hard-line conservatives of the United States are more strictly anti-China (on the other hand, US Democrats and establishment Republicans waffle significantly more). In addition, the Democratic Progressive Party is also friendly to the Japanese ultra-rightists who hate China. The DPP's anti-Chinese sentiment is linked to anti-imperialist ideologies; Taiwan has a minority but indigenous group, and the DPP argues that Chinese and Taiwanese are different "nation" based on differences in Taiwanese culture and mainland Chinese culture.
Despite this, it is fairly liberal with regards to Taiwanese internal issues. The party is supports strengthening social welfare, has negative positions towards nuclear power plants, and supports same-sex marriage.

* Identity politicshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/12/opinion/taiwan-election-tsai-han-populism.html — Apart from the left and right interests, the DPP's political line has many points of contact with identity politics in the West. In short, they are in favor of Abe and Trump's anti-PRC and nationalist identity policies, and at the same time, they partially accept the discourse of several minority groups identity policies in the U.S.-style.

Demographic Winter

Demographic Winter, the decline of the human family is a very downbeat, ominous documentary devoted to the conservative antifeminist argument that, if the little (white) ladies don't remember their place and get back indoors and start squeezing out babies pretty sharpish, Western civilization will decline just like the Roman Empire.
==Production==
The film is narrated by Judith Adolphson and edited by Rick Stout. It was produced by Barry McLerran and Rick Stout who along with Executive Producer Steven E. Smoot provided the majority funding. Additional funding was provided by the Family First Foundation, the GFC Foundation and Audience Alliance Motion Picture Foundation. It was released in 2008 by Acuity Productions.

Demographics

Demographics, a branch of sociology, is the science of population statistics — a study of the styles, preferences, habits, and qualities of a particular population. Like any statistically based science, it might be subject to some degree of bullshit. Demographics are frequently used in the formulation of public policy and especially in advertising. 
==Common demographic classes==
Some of the common classes used in demographics for the categorisation of the population include, but are not limited to the following:
*Gender
*Employment
*Age
*Wealth
*Race
*Consumer habits
*Birth rates
==Specific areas of bullshittery==
Bullshitting by getting demographics wrong is easy enough. Two main problems:
* Confusing a statistical trend with a rule. E.g., statistically, more men than women like football, therefore all men like football. We call this fallacy stereotyping — which is even worse when the "rule" isn't even backed up by the statistical evidence.
* Mistaking one statistical trend as applying outside the demographic. This is why medical trials always specify the status of the type of people they're looking at. You can't take a study that looked at 65 year-old men and assume you'll see the same medical benefits in healthy women in their 20s. This is often referred to as the spotlight fallacy.
Between these two points, pretty much every misuse of demographic data can be found.
==Generations==
A generation is the demographic concept of classifying individuals on the basis of the era in which they were born and/or the significant events that they have experienced. The definition of these are vague and vary or overlap to a certain degree but some examples include:
*Lost Generation, born 1883–1900
*Greatest Generation, born 1901–1927
*Silent Generation, born 1928–1945
*Baby boomers, born 1946–1964
*Generation X, born 1965–1980
*Millennials (Generation Y), born 1981–1994/6
*Generation Z (Zoomers), born 1995/7–2012
*Generation Alpha, born 2013–present
==Census==
A census is a regular attempt to count the number of people in an area or state, possibly so that resources (including politicians) can be distributed fairly. A census is also how quite a lot of data for demographic research is acquired.
Censuses are often slightly skewed — not everybody gets counted for various reasons, and there are usually quirkshttp://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/8897540.No_common_census_as_Moors_Valley_ticket_machine_gets_form/ and 'some people' think it is a blasted liberty.
There is no indication that the census requiring Mary, Joseph, and yet-to-be-born Jesus actually occurred.

Demonization

Demonization (or demonisation, as it is spelt in British English) is an argumentative strategy, often employed in political contexts, whereby one group consistently paints a rival group as evil, corrupt, bent on their enslavement or destruction, or engaged in various other forms of malevolence. Such a strategy is quite good for whipping up lynch mobs, quelling internal strife 'in the face of the common threat', and stifling the usual twinges of conscience most people experience when mistreating others. Demonization is often aided by and sometimes requires the use of otherism.
==Examples==
*One of the long-standing examples of demonization is antisemitism (see: the "Evil Jew" stereotype).
*The early 21st century has seen increasingly virulent Islamophobic sentiment in the West, largely since the events of 9/11.
*People of Hispanic descent are often demonized by US politicians. Anti-Hispanic rhetoric was a central strategy in US President-elect Donald Trump's 2016 campaign; for many in the US, Hispanics have become a scapegoat for joblessness and other economic woes, not to mention Trump's infamous "criminals, drug dealers, rapists" line.Donald Trump’s false comments connecting Mexican immigrants and crime by Michelle Ye Hee Lee (July 8, 2015) The Washington Post.
*Conservative talk radio depends on the demonization of liberals (and even moderates) for most of their material; barring said demonization of moderates, similar can be said of some left-leaning radio as well.
*In Internet debates, demonization often rears its head in the form of Godwin's Law: comparing the opposition to Hitler and/or the Nazis.
*Some Christian fundamentalists will consider other deities mentioned in the Bible, venerated when it was written as Baal and Asherah, as demons, while others extend it to all those gods that are not the Christian one.
*LGBT persons, and especially transgender persons, have been demonized by a class of socially conservative people embracing irrational homophobic claims (e.g. "it's against God's law") and trans-exclusionary viewpoints (e.g. claiming that trans women are a threat to cis women using bathrooms).

Denomination

A denomination is a formally recognized, organized branch of a religion. In contrast, a sect is an unorganized, unrecognized branch of a religion.
Denominations are generally created after a fist fight between two church leaders, often over ridiculous things like whether we should forgive our "debtors" or "those who trespass against us," whether the KJV is better than some other Bible (because Jesus must have spoken the King's English, right?), or whether you should have your minister serve for a long term or be a one-man minstrel show (usually without the blackface, at least in our times) wandering from church to church each year. Serious issues can include things like the very nature of God, the eminence of the Holy Spirit, or the role of priests and ministers. Social issues, like the rights of gays, women in the clergy, and the inclusion of different races can all cause schisms, which often lead to new denominations.
==Christianity==
There are many Christian denominations, but a non-exhaustive list is: Amish, Baptist, Christian Science, Churches of Christ, Church of England, Eastern Orthodox Church, Episcopal Church, Hutterites, Jehovah's Witnesses, Local Church, Lutheranism, Mormon, Methodist, Presbyterianism, Protestant, Roman Catholic Church, Seventh Day Adventism, Shakers, Society of Friends, Southern Baptist, Unitarianism and United Church of Christ.
===Anglicanism===
If you are the King of England, and really really really want a male heir/new wife, you can just make a new denomination, say "We never married, I divorce thee, I divorce thee",Historical note: King Henry VIII actually annulled his first marriage rather than getting a divorce. then marry the new hot young thing.
==Catholicism==
Some Catholics do not consider Catholicism to be a denomination of the Christian Body at large,About.com.Christianity:Reader Feedback - "Roman Catholicism is not a Denomination" possibly because (to them) everyone else split off. Many others think that's just whacked and anyone spouting the religion of Jesus is part of some denomination of Christianity.
Moronism is also sometimes considered too different from Christianity and a different religion rather than a denomination.Some Freepers discuss the issue
=="Nondenominational" churches==
Recently, there has been an upswing in the number of churches billing themselves as "nondenominational churches." It would appear that "nondenominational church" is just code for "church whose minister is too crazy to get the support of any real denomination." Ted Haggard's church, for example, is nondenominational.The New Life Church's website This term may also refer to (less wingnutty) congregations that try to avoid dealing with the more schism-prone subjects at all so as to serve a broader subset of Christians. While this doesn't sound too weird in theory, in practice it tends to lead to situations similar to that of, say, employees of Rick Scott's Florida.
