Denlotian trigger words

The Denlotia was known for its heavy use of censorship, mostly due to the traumatised attitude of its inhabitants and members from the ruin of World War III. Because of this, a number of words were banned during the Denlotia, and due to the continued wars waged by Terrans, some countries on Jerde ban certain words and punish people who use them. They included values that were otherwise helpful, like patience, responsibility, and resilience - all because the Terrans corrupted those values to justify killing all Jerdiskar for the sake of power.

This was why the Terrans still enjoyed fighting and killing Jerdiskar. To them, refusing to use their favourite words was weakness, similar to simply refusing to go to war. They especially like to kill people who suffer or feel any form of fear, sorrow, or pain. The association of those words with the Terrans who promoted them were why they have become known as "Terran words".

In line with its belief in making sure everyone understands anything clearly, Denlotian authorities and members mandated certain words as replacements. These words were also simplified from the Terrans' concepts.

Some Terrans were known as "Americans", because many of their cultures looked similar. The warlords who summoned the Terrans specifically chose them because they were seen as the most reckless of various known civilisations across the Multiverse, more deranged than even true dystopias and hellish domains.

A

* **accept your losses, accept losing, accept** **failure**
* **accountability** - admitting that you have done something wrong
	+ This word has become associated with the American warlords, who used it as their reason to force offenders to starve to death. The warlords intended to force offenders to think about what they had done wrong to offend their other members, by taking away not only their comforts, but also any necessities, so the offenders had to think and apologise, or starve to death. This was also to empty the offenders' ranks for more-capable or popular members.
	+ If they did apologise, they had to toil their way back to society under American rule, even if they will never again have their old jobs back. The Denlotians instead allowed offenders to keep their old jobs if they had truly repented and compensated for their crimes, as long as they were not as serious as abuse, fraud, or promotion of Terran ideologies.
	+ Replacements: **honesty**

C

* **cancel culture**, **consequence culture** - banning an offender or criminal from any interaction (or even public spaces) for potential harm against a marginalised person
	+ When practiced by Denlotians, it consisted of interrogating the perpetrator and forcing them to explain why did they do it, and what made them do it. The accused will continue if they finish their probation and prove that they were really sorry. If not, or if the perpetrator fights back, they will be turned over to the authorities or beaten up if they commit any violence or terrorism.
	+ Denlotians consider their version to be better than the American version, which was a boycott followed by hounding the perpetrator and forcing them to beg on the streets by banning them from all kinds of jobs; and worst of all, without any investigation to force the criminal to stop their crimes and understand why it is wrong.
		- This was usually caused when an offender dared utter anything that might harm a member from a marginalised or minority group. Words might influence society to turn against the targetted member and their people, as many jokes and accusations did in the Terrans' sad history that led to riots and murders.
		- The Terrans would rather "force the richer criminal to be poor, so they would repent while a poorer person can take up the criminal's place, and escape poverty" - in the simplified vocabulary of the Denlotians. In Terran speech, it would be read as "forcing out the privileged bigot so a minority person can be elevated".
	+ They would rather lock the perpetrator up than allow them to be free and starving, free enough to potentially plot terrorist attacks as a militant or a criminal. That was in line with two beliefs: "poverty creates terrorism" and "absolute freedom leads to insanity".
	+ Replacements: **prevention culture**, **punishment culture**
* **character development**
	+ What is the point of being better, if the path to success is littered with loss and ruin? What worth is it to be surrounded by happiness, if it is built by pain and the destruction of what you love?
* **consequences**, "**no freedom from consequences!**" - this word was used by Terrans to justify their misrule and atrocities over the Jerdiskar. Many of them came from unjust societies, so whenever they punished or attacked people, they believed that what *they* did was just "consequences" for what their enemies had done. In other words, they may be acting as the "justice" of the "universe" of their worldviews.
	+ The Denlotian authorities taught that when they punish an enemy, they were not doing the force of a "consequence" or a "god" (although they may invoke a deity or cause to punish the enemy). Therefore, there were still "consequences" in the Denlotia, but they are nothing more than punishments with a valid or irate reason.
	+ American armies claimed that their wars against the Jerdiskar were the natural result of some wrongdoing, especially insulting or traumatising the Americans. The Denlotians answered back that "when we fight, we are not driven by some cosmic force, although we seek the Gods to strengthen us. We are acting by ourselves to stop evil!"
	+ "No freedom from consequences" was not a valid reason to punish or wage war against an enemy. In Denlotian society, the punisher must list the crimes of the accused as the reason itself for the punishment.
	+ Many Terrans claimed that their cruelty against each other, and especially the Jerdiskar, were justified as "consequences" for some fault (e.g. racism, abuse, not submitting to Terrans' rule, not converting to the Terrans' ideologies, or simply irritating them. That answer being the only reason why they waged war on Jerde's peoples was enough to make the Denlotia ban the word and "no freedom from consequences" as battlecries of the Terran enemy.
	+ Replacements: **result** (for what happens afterwards); **punishment** (for attacking an enemy); **This is for what you had done! [list what crimes the enemy had committed]** ("no freedom from consequences!")

D

* **deal with it** - that meant leaving abuse as it is, and doing nothing to stop it.
	+ That reflected the Terran worldview that evil is good, change is wrong (unless it furthers the Terrans' plans), and sacrifice and suffering were always necessary to make people stronger. For what? Most likely as warriors and workers who fight for the glory of the Terrans' utopias.
	+ Replacements: **that is not the right answer**, **that is wrong**, **do not waste your time**, **do something better**, **what are you doing?**
* **discourse** - the current topic in a society; anything that is acceptable in a society, usually in an Americanised society.
	+ Associated with American warlords.
	+ Replacements: **topic**, **subject** (the current topic); **correct words**, **proper words** (acceptable words)
* **do your own research** - although it is very useful to find out more online, this term is now associated with American warlords and terrorists. When they used that term to answer Jerdiskar who sought more about their motives, they wanted the Jerdiskar to convert to their beliefs, including an obsession with chaos, tribalism, and an avoidance of medical advancement as "brainwashing".
	+ Rep: **Try to find out about it online** (and then help the person), (explain)
* **don't bite the hand that feeds you** - in line with the Denlotian belief that gratefulness leads to slavery, these words were considered offensive to Denlotians.
	+ Rep: **We have done our part, so can you listen to our needs?**

E

* **educate yourself** - it's supposed to be "go and research how it works", but because it was often used by Americans as their only answer, these two words became associated with American warmongers who want to subjugate people.
	+ Some American armies, who hate "social justice" (both the Denlotian version and the American version who uses "educate yourself"), use another term called "do your own research". Like "educate yourself", these four words are now synonymous with "indoctrinate yourself".
	+ Rep: **Try to find out about it online** (and then help the person), (explain)
* **experience, life experience** - expecting a person to learn from a huge loss, is seen in Denlotian times as a wish for the person to keep failing and to die.
	+ So Denlotians cannot ask people to learn from experience after a loss. Instead, they must show an alternative, such as job Y instead of job X (while job X may get punished for refusing to hire a person for being fired).

F

* **family values**, **traditional values**, **traditional family** - "values" supported by militarists and warmongers who follow traditionalist beliefs. People who support those views prefer to use others' families to mobilise entire populations for war, denying them any other dream than imperialism.
	+ The usage of these terms firstly by "Old Worlders" to justify abuse of weaker people, and then by Terrans to support war against all Jerdiskar, was why they were banned in the Denlotia. It also caused Jerdiskar to become more brutal towards families of enemies, going as far as issuing collective punishments and mass killings out of spite.
	+ In spite of this, many cultures across Jerde have not abandoned the practice of families. It could be due to the fear of overuse of cloning or the loss of whatever individual identity they already have. They only hate it if it is used as an ideology or a slogan.
* **freedom** - a society dominated by apathy, isolation, desperation, and misery. Although the American armies on Jerde promoted "freedom" as the right for anyone to do anything they want, what they did made the Denlotians think that it creates a more isolated society dominated by rich tyrants and murderers.
	+ Replacements: **true freedom** (for the actual concept of "no force"), **fairness**
	+ In addition to the American Terrans, the wrongful attitudes of Old Worlders were another reason why Denlotians oppose some forms of "freedom". Because it will mean allowing abuse and unfairness to continue to exist, to let people lose, fail, suffer, and die for the sake of professionalism and innovation.
	+ In opposition to the "freedom" promoted by the Terrans and the Old Worlders, the Denlotians' version of "freedom" consisted of having every good opportunity available, under the protection of their fellows and the state. In addition, every citizen is encouraged to build and defend that society, reducing laziness and crime as they have everyone else's wellbeing in mind. This was known as "**true freedom**", whereas the "freedom" in painful lessons and "adultish" mentality was referred to as "**Terran freedom**" or "**freedumb**".
	+ The Old Worlders and Terrans saw that society as a tyranny, because without the freedom to hurt others and embrace pain, they did not consider that to be "freedom", but a "gilded, spiked cage." They preferred a society where everyone has to face pain and suffering, or die, in order to grow after an apocalypse, rather than one where everyone is willing to grow under a very convenient society that might collapse in a disaster. It was the only experience they ever knew, forming their miserable views of life.
* **freedom of speech** - an excuse by many Terran terrorists and warmongers to wage war on Jerde's peoples, or simply to be rude without question and be expected to be treated with any respect. Such an attitude is now seen as typical of a terrorist, who will then use this to justify committing so much destruction for himself.
	+ "Freedom of speech" already exists in the Denlotia - you will not be arrested for annoying your neighbour, talking ill about the government or workplace, or complaining. In fact, Denlotians are less likely to "cancel" people, as they only kill those who commit certain crimes (like scamming and child abuse). They are also less likely to make ridiculous complaints or outrage mobs over a small error, but if they do criticise, they seem rather polite because they want to help and point out what is wrong.
	+ But if you act rudely, harass people (especially online), or glorify certain rude attitudes or harmful behaviours, your neighbours may arrest and interrogate you, to force you to tell them what made you do those. You may be branded as a "terrorist" while the interrogation takes place - you can still buy food, use public transport, or receive basic needs, or even visit some public spaces, but in others (like museums, concerts, etc.) you may be banned until the interrogation is over.
	+ This is to show that "if you have not committed some serious crimes, you are still a person, so stop being a terrorist." They also go in angry mobs towards officials of companies and businesses related to services, utilities, and transport, should even one disruption take place for a few minutes.
	+ They consider forcing a person to feel sorry and keep their job with a changed mindset to be much better than being an outcast - especially using the Securist regime in one of those Americas as an example, where suspected "bigots" are forced to starve at home. Even the "social justice warriors" in some American armies consider the Securist treatment to be too extreme for their tastes.
	+ In other words, they jail bigots and force them to change quickly, and find out what made them bigots to find ways to stop more people from becoming bigots.
	+ Replacements: **right to express** (the right to express); **excuses** ("freedom of speech" as an excuse by Terran enemies)

G

* **get over it**
	+ Seen in Denlotian society as mocking suffering and allowing it to go unresolved.
	+ Whoever who tells a Denlotian to "move on", "get over it", is accused of laughing at suffering, and would risk being murdered by the Denlotian in anger.
* **give and take** - a belief promoted by many of the early Denlotians' families as a result of living in poverty.
	+ With the Denlotians in power, that belief was banned, and the families who demanded the Denlotians to support them were purged for making the Denlotians suffer.
* **God will win!** - used among monotheist armies against the Jerdiskar.
* **gratefulness**, **grateful**, **be grateful**, **gratitude**
	+ As many of the initial Denlotians were poor people, they later considered anyone who taught them to be grateful, or to appreciate anything in life, as people who wanted them to suffer and die. Henceforth, the very concept of "gratefulness" was considered to be extremely offensive, associated with the backwards people who raised them and stopped them from any ambition just to survive.
	+ It was another reason why Denlotians hated anyone from generations before their alliance's founding, especially older and elderly people. They were punished for making the Denlotians' suffer for the sake of the old and their families' survival.
* **Grow up** - adulthood is inevitable, but to force people to grow up means to turn them into cruel, apathetic warriors and drones, instead of people who love the beauty of life.
	+ Replacements: **that is wrong**, **you are too old for that**, (if something doesn't fit your age); **do not waste your time on that**, **do something better** (for whining)
* **growth** - inevitable, like pain and bad weather, but not to be used as an excuse to let people suffer, even if it supposed to make a person improve and learn.
	+ The focus on making people grow and learn by suffering, especially among Old Worlders, was the reason why Denlotians mock their predecessors back by yelling "NO MORE LEARNING!", "WE WILL NEVER GROW UP!", or "WE ARE NOT YOUR SACRIFICES!".
	+ They also viewed the past generations, who sided with the Terrans to enforce their cycle of growth, loss, and pain, as sadistic tyrants who wanted to continue the existence of poverty to keep their riches. They believed that Old Worlders wanted them to lose, so they can die and be expendable to continue making old men richer.

H

* **human nature, boys will be boys**
	+ An excuse to stop people from being better

I

* **interests, racial interests, class interests, national interests** - goals. This word was often used by the Terrans to justify waging war on the peoples of Jerde, usually for a supremacist agenda or simply out of fear, arrogance, and greed.
	+ "Interests", as in "racial", "class", or "national", usually means "for the well-being of the group". The Terrans used it to mean "supremacy as the only way to live", fearing that if they do not rule, either no one will listen to them or they will die as slaves. That view is considered as paranoia in Jerde.
	+ Replacements: **necessities**. **what one needs**
* **investment** - what Old Worlders and Terrans use to justify making others lose, for the sake of making people more mature

L

* **learn and grow** - "accept your loss and DIE"
	+ To Denlotians, any form of growth from a loss is seen as a curse from the Gods, a mockery by the people who hurt them. So they would rather force everyone to learn to avoid losing, growing, and finding anything new, because they regard anything "new" as plotting to replace them as the Terrans did.
* **lesson, experience** - what you learn from a disaster
	+ The sense of "what you learn from a painful event" was banned in the Denlotia because it was associated with American warlords, especially those who enjoyed watching people suffer.
	+ The attitude of being happy *because* of a disaster, or even to see loss as a good thing, was associated with the same sadistic Terrans and Old Worlders, who glorified sacrifice and loss even when better and less-costly methods already exist.
	+ Replacements: **example** (something bad you must not follow)
* **let it go, move on, get over it** - allowing a failure to exist and continue to haunt a person.
	+ In Denlotian belief, tolerance of failure will allow more failures to exist and destroy a person's life. However, hatred of failure supposedly stops new failures from existing. A good Denlotian MUST hate losing and failure, and always expect perfection in their life, to prevent any loss from happening again.
	+ Allowing yourself to fail, taking risks, and smiling at your own losses is also seen as wasting the advanced technology the Denlotians always use in daily life. You reject technology and expect everyone to do the same, to grow by themselves, suffer repeatedly, and die trying to succeed in life - this was why Denlotians are intolerant of suffering any loss, even though they would gladly help people who failed and lost find a better way after mourning every loss.
* **Let's go (X)** - a slogan used by some Americans to curse at several leftist-aligned presidents, over diplomatic failures and economic problems. Because many of those who used the slogan were fanatics who wanted strongmen to rule over them, the phrase is considered an "American phrase", synonymous with people who worship dictators and corruption.
	+ Replacements: **This leader is bad** (and then explain why)
* **Life isn't fair!**
	+ A common phrase used by the Terrans, especially from American cultures, to force people to accept loss and never seek happiness ever again. At the same time, the same Terrans wallow in luxury while their subjects slaved away, so these words were banned for being a symbol of the Terrans' ruin.
	+ Denlotians thought that the Terrans and Old Worlders who told them that actually wanted them to suffer and die. Therefore, all those people arrested and caught telling them "life is not fair, deal with it!" were tortured and ostracised, to punish them for expecting no fairness in *everything*.
	+ One of the laws of the Denlotia even allowed murdering anyone who tells a Denlotian that "life is not fair", as a confession that they were willing to destroy *all* fairness, including their own rights.
	+ Rep: **This is a common problem** (**but we will show you how to fix it**).

M

* **market value**
	+ Reducing a person's social worth to nothing more than how useful they are to an employer. Considered traumatic to early Denlotians for allegedly supporting employers' right to refuse workers, worsening joblessness in Palguenia.
	+ In Denlotian law, "market value" was banned, so only one's employment history, some credentials, and willingness were required. Removal of joblessness, healing and uplifting the poor, and raising living standards were prioritised over company growth, market value, and profitability.
* **mature, maturity**
	+ The dream of Old Worlders, the ideal person who was scarred by all kinds of loss, to think exactly like them and perpetuate cycles of suffering to indoctrinate everyone.

N

* **national security**
	+ Often (mis)used by Terran people to justify imperialistic wars and puppet states.
* **new opportunities, opportunity, new doors, "every time a door closes a new door** **opens"**
	+ It violated the Denlotian belief in avoiding mockery of suffering. Presenting anything better to replace a loss, or claiming that the loss is good for you, was considered as making fun of a person's suffering. By extension, any making fun of suffering was basically wanting the sad person to die, creating even more suffering and committing a greater sin!
	+ Compensation still existed in Denlotian times, and was mandatory. However, when a person does any compensation, it was considered very rude to praise the compensation.
* **No one owes you an explanation**
	+ The "Five Words" or "Six Words", named because they are among the most-hated phrases in Denlotian culture. To a Denlotian, it represents the smugness of their enemies, who forced them to move on and allow the enemies to hurt them more.
	+ In Late Ardeschen, they were "**Nei cha** **si-blejon chôl** **ixeraun!"**
	+ Things like that, along with many unresolved grudges to make their enemies live a happier life, were the reason why Denlotian law demands everyone to explain their actions. If someone refuses to explain, they would allow themselves to commit more harm for the sake of their own happiness.
	+ So Denlotians murder anyone who utters the Five Words, accusing them of perpetuating and supporting abusive attitudes.

O

* **open your eyes**
	+ A common answer by Terrans, especially conspiracy theorists and cultists, to force the Terrans to convert.
	+ This is why Jerdiskar will immediately leave an argument if someone answers "open your eyes", reminding them of the many cultists who waged war on them.

P

* **personal responsibility**
	+ Terrans, especially those of American descent, used this term to justify their hatred of the poor, or restricting education and better living standards to their peers. They blamed all poorer people for their condition, rather than any contributing social factors that drove them to poverty and crime.
	+ As a massive populist movement, the Denlotia banned those words as representative of the Terrans and their abuse of poorer people.
	+ However, for the original meaning of "admitting what a person does", they only used "admitting one's self" for any action. They already practice responsibility to make their own people more aware of their actions, rather than to use it to hate the poor.
	+ In fact, one Denlotian law mandated that anyone who makes fun of people who suffer from severe poverty should be killed, as alleged Terran agents and traitors at war with the Denlotia's people. People caught laughing at the poor and debt-ridden were crushed to death or burned with molten gold, to punish their worship of wealth.
	+ The misuse of the term "responsibility" made the Jerdiskar more paranoid. They claimed that Terrans used this term because they wanted to silence any criticism, to allow them to continue waging war on Jerde. It is the same reason why Jerdiskar hate people who practice whataboutism or deny war crimes, and are more brutal towards them.
	+ Replacement: **admitting yourself**, **self-admitting**
* **professionalism** - the biggest excuse for Old Worlders to keep people poor. Even if one manages to be professional, the Old Worlders will still make you suffer or deny you from the job you applied, to focus more on profit.
	+ As a result, the "professional" standards of the Denlotia were either willing, looser emulations of archaic formality, or enforced by the vast limits of Denlotian law. So now that same person who refused to hire a person who got fired would had been killed in the Denlotia for "perpetuating poverty"!

R

* **real world**, **reality** - many Terrans and Old Worlders often claim about "the real world" or "reality", even when the person they spoke to was already in the physical plane. In their claimed "real world", everything was unfair. The only way to survive in "the real world" was not to accept happiness or comfort, but to embrace suffering, misery, and sacrificing everything for the sake of the rich and the elderly. That means that a "real world" person must be forced to work and be cruel, and never attempt to have any form of improvement that helped everyone.
	+ The Denlotian response was that they were hardworking and honest, but they wanted to make everything fair for everyone. What prevented them from becoming parasitical crybabies was their fear of corruption, which became into duty, honesty, diligence, cooperation, and a burning hatred of abuse.
	+ Then again, the Terrans condemned Denlotian society as a "golden cage". Without any pain and rudeness, but motivated by hatred of corruption and the Terrans for embracing it, people cannot grow and become strong. Strong enough to be warriors like in their world.
	+ This Terran worldview led to the Denlotians to think that the Terrans were the real parasites, seeking to turn an ideal and fair society into a wasteland ruled by tyrants and barbarians. That was one reason why Terrans were hated by the Denlotia.
	+ According to Denlotian belief, it was rather hypocritical for the Terrans to force people into *their* "real world". The "real world" advocated by the Terrans was nothing more than a hellscape inhabited by scammers, abusers, warmongers, charlatans, terrorists, the idle rich, keyboard warriors, evil politicians, trolls, criminal syndicates, and other evil people that had no place in the Denlotia.
	+ Replacements: **physical plane**, **this world**, **the true world** (reality); **the Terran world**, **New Terra**, **cynicism** (the Terran worldview)
* **responsibility** - to a Denlotian, "responsibility" doesn't mean being responsible for your own actions, but sacrificing everything to serve an ungrateful master and having no help.
	+ Replacements: **honesty**, **admitting**, **self-awareness**

S

* **scorched** - to be aware of social issues; to lecture and promote said social issues; to incorporate the same social issues on an artistic work; anyone related to the same "social issues".
	+ It was from an idiom, "scorched from seeing the truth", or "scorched earth", from the Terrans claiming that some fans destroy entertainment by repelling main audiences.
	+ To some Terrans, they use other terms like "awake", "woke", "clear", "empty", "enlightened". Terrans used "scorched" towards people of certain backgrounds, especially if they looked too much like certain activists. These Terrans demanded "escapism", yet also insisted on their views imposed on everyone, leading to the term "scorched" being punished in Denlotian society,
	+ While Denlotian films and pop culture was mostly escapist or artistic, still the Terrans claimed that they were all "scorched" simply because they did not support their beliefs and orders. The closest equivalents that fell under some Terrans' definition of "scorched" included the Secure Orthodoxy, the Tolavein raiders, and the Enlightened Party: all those were factions considered "scorched" by other Terrans because of their extremist forms of progressivism or technocracy.
	+ The Terran overuse of such terms is known derisively as "**uoka**", from the pronunciation of one word used for unacceptable beliefs to Terrans.
	+ Examples of movies accused of "scorched-ness" included helping a beggar instead of letting him starve, or promoting native religions as "normal" instead of evangelising the Terrans' faiths.

* **shut up, shut the f\*\*\* up** - considered as Terran words. Even if they were popularised as a trend that caught on, Denlotians considered these as extremely offensive for their association with Terran colonial supremacism.
	+ Replacements: Quiet!; Silence!; You are lying!
* **special operation**, **special military operation** - some Terran armies used this as their name for various wars waged against the Denlotia and other Jerdiskar nations. They also prohibited their own subjects from referring their attacks as "wars" or "invasions", claiming that those were peaceful pacifications or security campaigns. The brutality committed by the Terran militaries became the reason why the Denlotia refused to use these terms for any attacks or purges against their enemies.
	+ The Terran Empire in later times used this word for "minor conflict".
	+ Replacements: N/A - a war is a war, an invasion is an invasion, and a purge is a purge. No "special operations", but be more direct.

T

* **The Great Renewal**, **The Great Humbling** - using superweapons to destroy the world. An attempt by the Terran armies to destroy Jerde and force the survivors to surrender.
	+ Many Terrans noticed that the Jerdiskar started to hate suffering and hardship. So the Terrans wanted to kill the Jerdiskar and force them to accept their own losses and consider only the Terrans' whims and nothing else.
	+ In many Terran cultures, suffering is a part of life, and loss must be accepted in order to grow. The Denlotians' technological progress leading to greater comfort and lesser losses is seen as an abomination, to the traditionalist, fanatical, militarist, and religiously-obsessed mentality of the Terran invaders.
	+ This, along with all the cries for help and mercy from the Terrans, made the Jerdiskar hate the Terrans even more. Begging for mercy and then bombing a helper to get their attention, all for the sake of getting power and revenge, is seen as among the greatest acts of evil.
* **There is no such thing as a free lunch!**, **TINSTAAFL!** - "Only by work can you gain, otherwise, you are stealing"
	+ This was associated with traditionalist Terrans, especially from the American civilisations, who insisted that everything cannot be given, only earned, with the exception of a festive gift or the scant aid to the less well-off. Driven to an obsession with enforcing work to please themselves, the Terrans condemned any act of charity or aid.
	+ The very existence of welfare angered the Terrans, who associated such things with parasites, drunks, and addicts who did nothing useful. They would rather see the poor and the disabled murdered to keep themselves safe, and they regarded the Denlotian elevation of its poorer people into riches and prosperity as an abomination, sacrificing the worthy for collective good instead of individual, selfish gain.
	+ The Denlotians were accused of laziness and stealing because they worked together and helped each other, even using their own governments as vehicles to push people out of poverty. They already knew that "there was no such thing as a free lunch", but what they meant was that everyone needed to eat.
	+ As even governments will eventually run out, Denlotian morality praised cooperation and diligence. As a result, not even the Plague of 3900 was able to reduce the Denlotians to total chaos and poverty, for they would build new farm towers and foundries as an act of defiance against Terran domination. That allowed them to defeat the Kleshans and the Americans, although they were unable to reestablish the Denlotia as a unified system.
		- Replacements: **Everyone needs to eat**; **You should do your part**; **What are you doing?** (said in a gentle, caring manner, not a cold and arrogant tone, as the Denlotian wants to help, not pamper, to urge a person to want to get up.).
* **Think of the children!** - mostly as a method to force people to obey Terran beliefs, even if it meant totally becoming like a Terran. Banned because it was a symbol of the Terran warlords.
	+ Many Terran factions claim to love their children, yet they abuse them and force them into their beliefs. Why, then, would a Denlotian think *like a Terran* of their children, when they actually do care for them instead of force them to be miserable?
	+ The Denlotian method of childcare did not involve force, but instead to allow a child to have a high degree of freedom, as long as they did not accept destructive behaviour (like scamming, religious extremism, etc.). The child is taught about morality in their toddler years to make them more focused on the community, whereas a lack of such early motivation instead made Terran children and families more dysfunctional.
	+ Replacements: (none); possibly to focus on how an action can harm the community, not just the children or its gods.
* **This is a lesson** -
* **traditional values**, **family values** - promoted by some Terran armies, such as the Northern Churches, to mobilise entire families as "baby-factories" that produced more devotees and soldiers to take over the world.
	+ While later on, Denlotians were more careful with their own offspring to eliminate their predecessors' errors, they developed the concept that "any love of the family must not become a symbol", again, to destroy any connections with their enemies.
	+ Because those were terms proudly used by the Terrans and their Old Worlder allies, the two terms were considered as a violation of the Denlotian belief, by using the family as a symbol for war.
* **truth** - what is really happening. While the word "truth" itself was not banned because it was too obvious, it was used too much by Terrans as a symbol of themselves, even if their beliefs consisted of paranoid attitudes against Jerdiskar society and culture.
	+ Because of the opposition of people who use "truth" too much as a symbol, associating them with Terran warmongers, Terrans stereotyped Jerdiskar as liars and cultists.
	+ In Denlotian society, honesty is greatly valued, and it is considered better if you do not state "I follow the truth" too obviously. Denlotians prefer actions, not words, as proof of one's honesty.

## "Terran attitudes"

This is a list of attitudes considered to be abhorrent under Denlotian society.

* **father knows best** - not helping workers during a crisis, but expecting them to wait for company's orders and protocol. As this will lead to poverty or worse, this is considered a crime.
* **free speech absolutism** - some American Terrans saw this as the ultimate utopia, hence them making rudeness and vulgarity as their morality. Some take it further by using "freedom of speech" as an excuse to quickly seize power, hence the existence of "the paradox of tolerance" to stop them from becoming emperors.
	+ To prevent this, Denlotians value education very much, to ensure that they will never become like the Terrans. They turn away from rudeness towards higher pursuits, like art, science, technology, and history - while the "vulgarites" waste away in terrorism, militancy, and self-torture.
* **gratitude, appreciation, give and take** - demanding people to accept their losses and change their plans.
	+ The primary purpose was to help elderly people and parents survive, especially in a financial crisis or poverty. This became what "appreciation" looked like in the Denlotia, not as "I am happy that this happened", but "I will lose everything for my family".
* "**Otherendism**" - the total elimination not only of traditions in general, but also of existing cultures and anything willingly done by the Jerdiskar.
	+ Stereotyped as people with hair dye, ever-young, and "snake-like"; they were the opposite of the "traditionalists", but still unwelcome to all Denlotians.
* **pain is life, "pain is the greatest teacher", "this is a lesson"** - to call a disaster a blessing or a lesson, is to mock the victim of the disaster. It is to show that the victim never matters, and they deserve pain, death, and worse. The Denlotia avoids this attitude because it cares for the victim and wants to help them rise again, clinging on to the thing that love the most.
	+ Worst of all, this was why the Terrans were notoriously abusive. All of their cries for help and pity were nothing, because the Terrans insisted on torturing their own people to make them warriors, workers, and slaves to their leaders and deities. So when the Terrans begged for mercy, it was seen as hypocritical.
	+ This was also why some Terrans also considered bombing all of Jerde, to force the survivors to surrender and convert.
* **sentimentism** - some Terran leaders claim that criticising them, or their beliefs, is **"hurting the sentiments of billions of [our] people" or all** **followers**.
	+ The cause may be due to their cultures being subjected to invasion, war, famine, harassment, etc. This led to hypernationalism, autocracy, desperation, paranoia, ultraconservative mentality, and militarism; and more wars to subjugate the peoples of Jerde.
	+ While Jerdiskar also have their own sentiments, and they can be upset when they are offended, they learned from the Terrans' fanaticism not to let their sentiments become a reason to wage total war and forcible conversions.
	+ They even think that Terran leaders and netizens who uttered those wanted to become hive minds, making them seem less "civilised". And from the lack of violence from the Jerdiskar when they were offended, the Terrans assumed that their enemies had almost no love, no devotion, so they seemed less "human".
	+ This is one reason why the Denlotians refused to blaspheme - not only it was considered a waste of time (compared to more useful actions like building a clinic or a machine), but it is also to avoid wasting more time fighting off Terrans who seek to kill offenders.
	+ Blasphemy is tolerated up to a certain extent, but is also considered "stupid" and "wasteful". Denlotians consider substance to be more useful than words, so a construction worker or a burger-flipper was considered more useful to society than a foolish patriot who curses the Terrans' gods.
* "**The Real World**" - the expected worldview of the Terrans (and Old Worlders), where life was more harsh and inconvenient, and everyone was expected to be a lone worker and a warrior who must eventually starve or get murdered no matter how much they achieved.
	+ It was where scammers, abusers, the idle rich, corporations, and corrupt charlatans and politicians dominate, while everyone else feeds them and starves to death. Because the Terrans were unable to change their society for the better, they expected all life to be like *their* "Real World".
	+ The *physical world* the Denlotians lived under was the "real world", different from the ideal "Real World" of the Terrans where they came from. Because Denlotian society made its citizens less independent, more cooperative, but less disruptive and unruly, Terrans condemned the Denlotia as "soulless", "the Golden Cage", or "The Great Hugbox", denying its own people the pain the Terrans wanted to see to force the Denlotians to grow up as tormented warriors for their God.
* **traditionalism**
	+ To Denlotians, it referred to aggressive views promoted by Old Worlders and Terrans, utilising traditional beliefs to promote militarism, rudeness, autocracy, and total war. So "conservative" attitudes were only practiced by Denlotians themselves, not promoted and waved as symbols.
	+ The opposites of the "traditionalists" in Denlotian views were the communists and the "otherenders", fanatics who wanted to eliminate traditions for the sake of dominance.
* **wounded tiger mentality**
	+ The suffering many Terrans suffered drove them further into desperation, extremism, hate, and obsession.
	+ They justified their cruelty and warmongering attitude against Jerde by their suffering. They felt as if no one will listen to them, so they must force everyone else to heed them, or be destroyed!

## Opponents' glossary

These were terms used by the enemies of the Denlotia - usually tyrants, fanatics, and brutal murderers.

* expect us!
* Goose Church - the Grabgoss Theocracy, named for one of its symbols being a goose.
* gottroi - a term used by the Grabgoss Theocracy against nonbelievers
* Halozin - Hail the Roaring One!, a battlecry of the Butcher Lords.
	+ This was most likely an invocation of Odin, also worshipped by the Norse people whom the Butcher Lords murdered as sacrifices.
* hellbound
* Herrgaist, Herron - the god of the White Imperium and the Blasphemers
* Hugbox, The Great Hugbox - used by the American warlords against the Denlotia because of its extreme intolerance to selfishness, pain, and corruption.

* idol-thumper
* I just am
* infidels
* javana, jauna - a term used by the Saffron Front against other cultures considered as enemies
* killerbabies, killerbrats
* kohjat - a cow-killer
* kovri, karuffi, kifarrun, firakkun - a term for non-believers
	+ Even the word "kafir" is banned in several countries on Jerde because it is considered as a "Terran word".
* lazy
* Let this be a lesson to you! - to make a disaster a lesson is to mock the victim of a disaster. As long as it involves the loss of something one loves, even it is as small as a ban on a popular website, every disaster and loss is a disease that must be erased.
	+ One notorious example was a young entrepreneur who lost his banking account to a scammer before the Third World War. When he asked his parents to help him, his parents refused, seeking to wait for an investigation to be over. When he urged them to hurry up, they made an excuse to him that they suffered worse, as they had a million credits in debt and it was very difficult for them to repay it sooner.
	+ He survived, but his father and mother were killed during the war. As a supporter of the Denlotia, he wanted revenge on his own parents and the scammers who destroyed his future. Firstly, he burned their graves and then he joined the war against a fortress of the Strongmen, where he found the scammer (who joined as a soldier) and cut off his head.
* Life isn't fair, deal with it - the warcry of the American armies. Adopted because the phrase itself was banned in the Denlotia, for triggering people about memories of the Third World War and abusive parents.
* manchildren - a term used by the Americans regarding the Denlotia's hatred of "responsibility", independence, adult fears, and painful lessons.
* mlecchas, velchir
* murderous manchildren
	+ To some extent, the Terrans were right. The Denlotians did not always cry and whine when their enemies use "trigger words" at them. On the other hand, they became more brutal, torturing and beating up people simply for promoting the beliefs of their enemies.
* narik, nauk - a term used by the Black Pillars against nonbelievers
* nithing - a Norse term used by the Butcher Lords and their Rannariskar allies against all other people. Ironically, their introduction of the evil Fifty-Six made the Rannariskar become the greatest of all traitors.
* oldie

### Specific empires

These are the most notorious members of the Fifty-Six Tyrants.

* Grabgoss Theocracy
* Butcher Lords
* Pompadours
* Black Pillars

### Concepts, culture, society

* first world problems - mocking the Denlotian intolerance towards loss, failure, and growth from loss and pain. Especially extremely harsh punishments towards very simple mishaps like accidents, online activity, and encouraging a person to lose and learn.
* freedom of speech - while it is a good concept, the Terrans twist the concept into two meanings. Firstly, to have the right to say everything stupid and rude under the sun, no matter how uncivilised they will become. And secondly, to have the right to promote destructive views and use the same freedom to rule society and kill that freedom.
	+ To the Denlotians, this was why they were more strict - they also applied the "paradox of tolerance" and called it "prevention culture". They even disliked the term as a Terran words, using "correct freedom to speak" as their replacement. Furthermore, the Denlotia had a high degree of freedoms, as long as one did not promote extreme or radical views.
	+ The Denlotians' usage of high amounts of personal freedoms was also to avoid becoming like some Terrans, who considered being ruled by dictators as their "freedom" only because they were not ruled over by their enemies.
* The Great Renewal, the Humbling
* whining - to seek help, to vent out against suffering or discomfort

### Deities

* Arim, Asman, Sama - god of the Pompadours and the Black Pillars, the Lord of Heaven. A compassionate god.
* Halozin
* Seva, Saiva, Sai - the supreme god of the Saffron Front. Very similar to Shiva, if not an aspect of Him.
* Urizen, Agthara, Agathiel - the god of the Grabgoss Theocracy, a kind god overshadowed by the corruption and cruelty of his worshippers.
	+ One of his holy symbols is a flying goose or swan.

### Religion

* Sama Azim, Samazim - Heaven is the Greatest, a battlecry among the Pompadours

### Slogans, offensive statements

* Deal with it
* Do it and find out
* Grow up
* I didn't make the rules, I don't make the rules
* I just am
* Let it go, Let them go
* Life's not fair
* Move on
* No one owes you an explanation
* Submit to reality!
* Welcome to the real world!

### Insults and slurs

* blind ones
* bootlickers - the Denlotians opposed some Terrans' attempts to create radical dictatorships and communist regimes, so the enemies saw the Denlotia as old-fashioned and corrupt.
* bound for Hell - for rejecting the Terrans' God(s).
* communists, commies - to American warlords, Denlotian opposition to rude and reckless behaviour was too Soviet for them.
* dinosaur
* enemies of God
* entitled - the enemies of the Denlotia lived in worse societies, so they expected everyone to learn through pain.
	+ The survivors of the enemies had already suffered enough - from being tortured to even losing an online account due to scams. This was why the Denlotians seem entitled - they wanted to create a more cooperative society, even by forcing people to help others.
	+ The result was that anything that reminded them of pain, from words and concepts like "responsibility" or "life is unfair", would anger them to a murderous rage. That was why they hated their own parents.
* brats, superbrats - for the Denlotia's hatred of pain and sacrifice, to a very violent extent
* Brat Reich, Brat Regime, Brat World, Brat Empire - the Denlotia was an entire civilisation of people who hated pain and loss, to the point of murdering anyone who celebrated loss.
* heathens
* idolaters
* infidels
* javana, jauna - a term used by the Saffron Front against other cultures considered as enemies
* killerbabies, killerbrats
* kohjat - a cow-killer
* kovri, karuffi, kifarrun, firakkun - a term for non-believers
	+ Even the word "kafir" is banned in several countries on Jerde because it is considered as a "Terran word".
* lazy
* pagans
* parent-killers
* Peter Pans - because the Denlotians opposed some "grown up" things (like refusal to hire desperate jobseekers, mistreatment of poor people, and asking a person to move on), in a very violent and angry manner. They were encouraged by the technology and weapons they plundered from the Terrans to enforce a new order and kill *everyone* who hurt them before.
* regressive - because they opposed the Terrans' vision of their utopias, such as punishing and killing people over simple insults.
* savages
* sheeple - named for the Denlotians' rejection of the Terrans' attitudes.
* sinners - simply for refusing to convert to the Terrans' religions
* skrael - a term used by the Butcher Lords against nonbelievers
* snowflakes - an American term for a coward who is easily "shattered" by something shocking, however ridiculous.
	+ In the case of the Denlotians, their anger turns into murderous violence to kill the offender over attempting to bring back "the Old World".
	+ Some Denlotians mocked the Terrans by freezing criminals to death in ice chambers, banishing them to polar regions to freeze to death, or referring exterminations of offenders as "a blizzard". They also yelled back "Winter is coming, Terrans!" when they waged war.
* social justice warrior - some American warlords hated the Denlotia for being very harsh on internet trolls and sociopaths, seeing all such people as potential terrorists.
	+ One Denlotian warlord mocked the Americans back by claiming that his realm is the real "social justice warriors", becoming their nightmare and that of the *American* "social justice warriors".
	+ The Denlotia is "social" because it helps everyone, including Terrans who wish to give up their evil ways; "justice" because it is the ultimate goal of the Denlotia; and "warriors" because it will punish and kill anyone who seeks to bring back the tyrannies of the Old World.
	+ Ironically, the Denlotia also punishes "social justice warriors" who behave like stereotypical Americans - violent, insane, sadistic, and cruel. These were not considered "social justice warriors" or named as such.; but only known as "Americans", "Terrans", or "fans".
* the Great Renewal, the Great Humbling - bombing the world to force the survivors to surrender and convert.
	+ The Terrans were very offended by the Jerdiskar reducing losses and inconveniences by their technological advancement, seeing the lack of suffering and strict obedience as the cause of decay and sin. Their resorting to a planetwide bombing run was out of fear and desperation, not simply for military defeat, but their own empires becoming weaker.
* the Real World, Reality, Real Life, Truth - the worldview of the Terran armies, and their ideal society.
	+ In their utopia, the poor die off, everyone suffers from every mistake, and pain is celebrated as the best teacher. The more painful the results are, the better to frighten people into obedience.
	+ The only way to enjoy life is to toil and suffer. Even if you do get to enjoy, you must suffer more to become a better person, and without end. Ultimately, everyone goes to Hell where there is nothing but pain, which becomes the final destiny.
	+ Helping others is considered weakness. Cruelty is better than honesty and support, and is even considered a better way to support someone.
	+ Brutal honesty is considered the best way to frighten people into doing what is right, even if you are a victim of a huge disaster. Even then, lying is also acceptable, especially if you are rich, privileged, or more valued than the marginalised, to ensure you do not fall out of line.
		- The Denlotians distorted it into thinking that Americans and Terrans LOVE pain and brutality, as the only thing they know in their miserable life.
	+ It would be ruled by warmongers, elderly tyrants, and corrupt leaders and very rich brutes.
* triggerlings - Denlotians are easily triggered by anything that reminds them of the Third World War, and when that happens they became angry, hateful, and cruel.
* unbeliever
* untermensch, underfolk
* vidharmis
* whiner

## Legacy

Not surprisingly, the paranoia of several words for being "Terran" encouraged the creation of various tyrannies who claimed themselves as "successors" of the Denlotia. The same tyrants were able to exploit some people's phobia of "freedom" to stay in power, using the Terrans and Old Worlders who misuse the same freedom as bogeypeople to frighten their subjects into obedience.

The Wannaenid Empire is the biggest example, yet it also used Terrans who committed the same crimes to undermine anyone it conquered.

While some modern Jerdiskar countries continue to ban certain "Terran words" and punish anyone who willingly uses them in public, their inhabitants are allowed to translate those terms in their own languages. Doing so is not a criminal offense as it is considered mocking the Terrans' for their defeat and loss of dominance.

As they do not actively promote the concepts used by those words, translating those words into mocking depictions in local languages, have become nothing more than a harmless game.
