Denlotian glossary

This is a list of terms used in the Denlotia. Many of them are English translations of Late Ardeschen and Late Palguenian words, as these terms were used throughout the many languages of the Denlotia's member-states. Therefore, English here represents the many languages used in the Denlotia's members.

These reflect the paranoid views of the Denlotia's frightened subjects, horrified and saddened by the cruelty of the Fifty-Six Tyrants.

A

* America, Twenty-Eight, Twenty-Eight Americas - Twenty-eight civilisations with a similar culture, all of which were ruled and corrupted by tyrants, fanatics, and murderers. Their destructive wars led to extremely hostile relations by the Jerdiskar against every similar civilisation to theirs.
	+ Those "Americans" were deliberately chosen by the warlords in World War III and summoned, because they were considered too dangerous and insane, enough to become living weapons of mass destruction. It was not just the cruelty imposed in war, but also in controlling a society and forcing the inhabitants to think like them, that made the warlords see them as a means to weaken Jerde's people and rule over their ruins.
* Americanism - Various social systems practiced by the American warlords who invaded Jerde from other planets. These ranged from corporate slavery, fascism and dictatorship, communism, personality cults, warbands, racist exterminations, and nihilistic death cults.
	+ Key features of "Americanism" include selfishness, cruelty, sadism, insanity, making fun of disasters, not allowing any help, total destruction of the self, and worshipping the rich.
	+ Even internet troll subcultures and extreme fans of pop culture works are considered as examples of "Americanism" for their aggressive, selfish behaviour.
* "Are you a one or a none?" - a question used by Denlotians to screen out possible monotheists and atheists, who were seen as too militant and hostile against society.
* a\*\*holism - very rude behaviour and attitudes as a way of life, commonly found in the American civilisations. To Denlotians, while they know that this was a result of a society ruled by paranoia, they consider it to be very wasteful and pointless, like a cult. From the American word "a\*\*hole", a term for a rude person.
* atheocracy - domination by atheists, mostly to erase religion by force and persecution; waging war on religious people
* atheocratic - waging war against religion, persecuting or murdering non-atheists.
* autocracy - "fascism": any totalitarian belief system or society, especially those who favour cruelty, force, and corruption. "Auto" as in "selfish", "cracy" as in "rule over a society".
	+ Examples of "autocracy" in Denlotian propaganda include communism, fascism, racism, religious or atheist extremism, militarism, imperialism, corporatism, and "Americanism".

C

* Class 0 - a class in Denlotian law for the worst and most destructive crimes, like genocide, religious or race wars, and cannibalism.
	+ All "Class" crimes, usually from Class 2 to Class 0, were usually referred simply as "Class-number". For example, if someone reported mistreatment of workers, the person would say they had seen a "Class 2".
* Class 1 - a class in Denlotian law for lethal crimes, like murder and abuse.
* Class 2 - a class in Denlotian law for social ills, like rudeness as a lifestyle
* compensation, compensation from the Gods - a good thing that comes after a very bad thing; a "silver lining"; a mixed blessing.
	+ According to Denlotian belief, getting something better that replaces something you love and lose, is considered a mockery of one's suffering. They avoid this by creating a prosperous surveillance state, instead of allowing people to suffer and learn by their own experiences. This was why their enemies called the Denlotia "The Golden Cage".
	+ Personal growth and lessons from suffering were seen as very traumatic, reminders of the evil Terrans who hurt and killed their people. Therefore, all forms of lessons from suffering were forever associated with those evildoers.
* contrarian - a cult member, a Terran cult member
	+ Many so-called "contrarians" only followed their views just out of opposition to the societies where they grew up under. They instead serve authoritarian and militarist leaders, so Jerdiskar do not consider them to be "free thinkers", only as just other Terrans following other tyrants.
	+ If someone answers "open your eyes", "do your own research", "educate yourself", they might be a Terran who wanted to convert them. Those words can immediately raise Jerdiskar eyebrows.
	+ That is why the word "contrarian" is seen negatively in Jerdiskar society. They mask Terran imperialism.

D

* Death to Terra! - a slogan popularised during the Denlotian era.
	+ "Terra" either refers to the total elimination of Terran beliefs and attitudes, like online fanaticism, arrogance, trolling, whataboutism, fraud, and contrarianism.
	+ Or worse and more commonly, the extermination of **all** Terran people on Jerde, a collective punishment for their unusual cruelty, stubborn fanaticism, and their love of destruction.
	+ Again, all the "Terrans" were *deliberately* chosen by the warlords among the most evil people and the worst societies. They were meant to be hated by everyone, to be nothing more than weapons in human bodies and degraded minds.
	+ In spite of this fact, many Jerdiskar were driven insane by their grief from the Third World War, worsened by the Terrans' stubborn whataboutist attitude and their lack of concern. This caused the Denlotia to declare total war on all Terrans, except the few who defected to the Denlotia and chose to undergo purification rites to prove their remorse.

E

* elazek, alze, elze - a religious extremist, one who hates other religions and tortures and kills others for his Gods.
* esti-ness - awful and bad behaviour that is disruptive, harmful, and corrupt. Derived from the English word "sh\*\*\*iness", which means "poor behaviour".
* ethnism - hatred of any other people by descent from ethnic group.
	+ This is considered in Denlotian law as a part of "phenism" (racism), whereas "racism" is used in the American sense as "elitist abuse by a majority or elite".
	+ While the American warlords either punish a minority person for attacking the national culture, or a majority person for adding to more trauma against minorities, the Denlotia punishes *both* simply for committing the crime itself and putting society at risk - a harsh but fair form of equality.
* ettoi - an atheist, one who hates religion and seeks to attack everyone who worships the Gods.

F

* fascism - a political system where a strong leader is worshipped and supported by a powerful military, using themes such as racialism, nationalism, traditional values, and extreme forms of a religion. In a simple concept, this is defined as "militarist autocracy".
	+ While the American warlords used "fascism" for any autocratic system they disliked, Denlotians use "fascism" for "militarist autocracy", while "autocracy" is for "fascism" or "totalitarianism". "Fascism" was considered as one form of "autocracy", instead of the whole thing.
	+ In spite of the strict laws of the Denlotia and intolerance towards radical or extreme Terran beliefs, the Denlotians abhor fascism as a Terran death cult, one of many, many destructive Terran beliefs that torture people and devour society for sadistic, selfish tyrants.
* Fate of Kavaria - bombardment, extermination by bombardment. The ultimate punishment towards a rogue state, especially if it does not have an ethnic or cultural background. This kind of state has no families, no children, only soldiers, cultists, clones, warmongers, terrorists, and fraudsters, being more like a criminal gang than a nation or a society.
	+ Kavaria was a nation created by fraudsters and criminals, seeking to use every criminal on Jerde to create a world empire. Because of its terrorist attacks against almost everyone to create their world regime, and especially because it did not have any families or children, Kavaria was firebombed by *both* the Denlotia, the Red Front, and the other Terrans.
* father-knows-best, fatherknow-ism - the leader expects workers to wait for their solution, instead of *directly* helping the workers. A crime under Denlotian law.
* Fifty-Six (Tyrants) - the Terran armies that invaded Jerde, summoned by evil warlords for the sake of destroying the world, and ruling over its ruins as a world emperor.
* Five Words, Six Words - "No one owes you an explanation" - the most hated words in Denlotian society, representing apathy, selfishness, and a refusal to resolve all problems with society.
	+ Because of their association with various abusive people, anyone uttering those words to intentionally hurt someone was murdered on the spot. However, explaining what those words are, or informing who uses them, are acceptable.
* free hotel stay, hotel stay, motel stay, cheap hotel, the motel - a jail sentence of a few days, usually for a petty offence. Such offenses include excessive blasphemy, desecrating a temple, and promoting views that would harm the poor or talking ill about the poor.
	+ Blasphemy was rather tolerated in the Denlotia, mostly to allow suspected enemies to expose themselves. By cursing the Gods, they do not risk arrest, but are laughed at by the polytheist denizens of the realms. They refuse to kill or beat up blasphemers, because doing so would corrupt a person into an evil Terran.
	+ Jail cells in the Denlotia were rather decent, so they looked like cheap hotel rooms with bars instead of doors. They also came with toilet rooms, and showers that automatically turned off after 5 minutes.
* fobja, fobia, fobbe - a Terran. From the Terran armies usage of "phobia", simply for opposition against their wars or their destructive beliefs, rather than just fear or hatred of them as people.
	+ For example, a Terran would consider reforming their children in a less-abusive environment as "phobia" simply for rejecting Terran culture, replacing their strict conservatism with the polytheist, modernised form of society Jerdiskar live under.

H

* hell speculator, hellspec - a fire and brimstone preacher, a bigot, a fundamentalist. Although this term existed before the Terran invasions, during Denlotian times, it became a slur towards monotheists over the actions of the Fifty-Six Tyrants.
	+ This term refers to religious extremists condemning so many people to the hells of their religions, to the point that some Jerdiskar thought of it as if it looked more like a lottery, and it amused them.
	+ If any polytheist Denlotian would do the same, condemning nonbelievers into whatever hell they believed for not worshipping their gods, everyone else will mock them as a stupid fool. It was considered "Terran" to condemn nonbelievers to Hell, but because it did not involve assault or bullying yet, the offender would become a laughingstock. If it escalated to violence, threats, or emotional harm, then the neighbours will arrest the offender or beat them up, proportionate to how much harm the victim suffers.
* humanity - the bad habits associated with Old Worlders and Terrans, who excuse them as "human nature". As a results, Denlotians mock the Terrans' concept of "humanity" by using the word to mock their tolerance of harmful behaviours.
	+ These include stealing, robbing, murder, lying, selfishness, tribalism, scamming, hyperfixation, obsessions, fanboyism/fangirlism, keyboard warrior-ism, the "contrarian" subculture among the American warlords, whataboutism, destroying rich nations to punish them for all kinds of -isms that hate the Denlotia.
	+ Replacements: **peopledom** (the human species), **personness**, **personhood** (being human, being a person)
* "hurt the feelings of my people" - the leaders of the Terran armies claimed to represent their entire peoples, races, and nations, especially if they were united by fear or arrogance. Therefore, they demanded the Jerdiskar and other Terrans to respect them, or risk invasion.
	+ These words came in various forms, such as:
		- "Hurt the sentiments of X"
		- "Hurt the feelings of billions/millions/thousands of people"
		- "Hurt religious sentiments"
		- Although Jerdiskar also have sentiments and feelings, they Jerdiskar forbid themselves from using their own offended emotions to justify violence against their enemies. This is because the Terrans used theirs to justify autocracy, paranoia, militarism, war, and attempts to dominate Jerde and its people.
		- In turn, Terrans see that attitude as a lack of humanity, a lack of devotion or love that makes their enemies less human. In some Terran societies, their people claimed that they waged war and violence out of love for their saints, symbols, gods, and leaders.
		- This led to the creation of the Strongmen, messianic figures appointed by vengeful, angry mobs seeking the destruction of the Denlotia to dominate the new world.
		- The opposite of this sentiment is "a reckless, arrogant vulgarity seen very often in the American hordes". The Denlotians therefore wanted a balance - they avoid excessive devotion, while they also avoid excessive rudeness. Excess was the biggest fault in many Terran societies, and the blasphemy and vulgarity some Terrans used to express themselves was seen as wasteful. Denlotians considered material success to be more effective than stupid words and the riots they create; so they favoured a burger-flipper and a construction worker, over an angry "pro-freedom" online activist.

* hyper - hypernationalism (militant and despotic nationalism); a supporter of hypernationalism.
* hypernationalism - militant and despotic nationalism, imperialism

K

* keyboard warrior - a person indoctrinated by online extremism via trolling. The influence of their groups and their aggressive behaviour became the reason why online trolls were either beaten up, arrested, or even hunted down and killed as terrorists within the Denlotia.
	+ Many of them ended up mentioned in history books and morality classes as lessons on who never to follow. Like all criminals, their backgrounds and families were shamed as they were mentioned to the students.
	+ Even online trolls who supported the Denlotia were also punished as Old Worlders. Online trolling in general (as in extremism and very rude behaviour) was seen as terrorism within Denlotian society.
* konsoi - a "conservative" or a member of self-named groups. Many of those groups were supportive of the Terran warmongers, hence the Denlotia having a hatred of self-proclaimed "conservatives".
	+ However, the Denlotians themselves would also be considered as conservative. It is just that they hated anyone who misuse beneficial things as a symbol of war and domination.
	+ This has become corrupted into paranoia and anger, followed by bizarre and excessive punishments such as banning entire religions, mass executions, and hatred of all Terran people.
	+ The Denlotians wanted to play with people (mis)using various concepts, and reclaim certain nasty words for themselves if they represented anything good. For example, if "conservative" meant "preserving native culture", then they split the word into two meanings: "our Denlotian conservatism allows freedom under harmony, their Terran 'conservatism' forces people to obey elders and be tortured."

L

* lawbender - an overtly-strict person who refuses to forgive people over accidents.
	+ Isn't that also what Denlotians do, especially if the person affects something with a bigger impact? That is, if a person causes a power failure by accidentally damaging a power station; interrupts a train network; or is even a small child who damaged things in a store.
	+ The term was derived from one manager of a website called Andraundos, who warned one of the Denlotia's founders that forgiving his mistake would break his own rules. Thirty years later, Andraundos was cursed to forever remember banning the Founder from the latter's favourite website. Tormented by the same image in his thoughts every day, he was driven insane until he ruined his own health, his social life, and his own job.
* lebensraum, lebesau, leberau - attempts to create an empire by slaughtering existing or native people.
	+ Named after the Pure Sons' and the Ironlords' term for their wars against Ardesch and other countries.
	+ Although they were of the same phenotype, the Pure Sons and Ironlords saw the Ardeschens as weaklings.

M

* master of history - a Terran, especially one who cares so much about the "narrative" to influence everyone to think like them.
	+ Many Terran civilisations rewrote history to make themselves the heroes, even if they have committed evil deeds - and unfortunately even the Denlotia did it too to convince people to adopt its forceful and "efficient" society.
* minema - a smaller cinema, a sort of movie room
	+ Established during early Denlotian times so people would not need to pirate films or spend a lot on going to a cinema. Later, prices of tickets went up in some minemas as an "artist fee" to support the creators of any film released there.
* mir - a Terran empire
	+ "Mir", the Russian word for "world", was derived from "Russkije Mir", a civilisation from some Terras compared to the dreaded Americans. The usage of "mir" for "destructive empire" was later spread to other Terran empires, until "mir" is for any Terran empire, not just Russians.
	+ Sevraeja and Volzeraen have half-Terran descent, but they are not considered as "mirs" because they are more supportive of the Jerdiskar, and the peoples there do not consider themselves as Terrans. Their opposition to Terran imperialism, such as their successful destruction of the Terran armies of the Konjor invasion, also allowed them to become Jerdiskar.
* modernity-rationalism-preservation, MRP - a motto of the Denlotia.
	+ Modernity - living in a modern lifestyle instead of reverting to archaic technology.
	+ Rationalism - thinking carefully and being ethical, instead of being too obsessed with religion, nationalism, race, etc.; cooperation.
	+ Preservation - not allowing yourself to become blindly following whatever trends, independence, keeping local identity, polytheism.
* monogod - a monotheist deity.
* monoi - a monotheist, especially one who is so fanatical and intolerant, that he hates and wants to kill all nonbelievers.
	+ This applied to Terran monotheists, who were seen as more violent than existing monotheist religions on Jerde (like Yawandian or Kikorin religion, Mazdajasna, and some forms of Trismegism and Hinduism). Atheists were also known as monoi because they were considered too fanatical and intolerant of Jerdiskar society.
	+ Monoi were stereotyped as paranoid. Their newfound, outlandish beliefs would make them so out of place in a polytheist society, that they would be driven by shame and fear to hate and wage war on society. The religious ones did so to avoid their God's anger, or to force the society to make their God happy; while the atheist ones wanted to force the polytheist Jerdiskar into their obsession with technology and pop culture.

N

* *Nasatyo Terrabhyas*, Nasote - Death to the Terrans
	+ A prayer calling for the destruction of all Terran people on Jerde, to punish them for their excessive crimes and hypocrisy.
* nationalism - love for your own country; obsession with your own country or race into supremacy.
	+ Deliberately chosen to avoid provoking another war with the fanatical Terrans. Otherwise, "patriotism" is preferred, while the "nationalism" for "obsession with your people" is known as "hypernationalism".
	+ This is also to mock "nationalists", various Terrans and Old Worlders who sought the supremacy of their peoples, instead of simply survival and cooperation.
* New World - the Denlotia, a society meant to improve all of humanity.

O

* Old World - the world of Jerde before the Third World War, seen as corrupt, selfish, and apathetic to favour elites and elderly tyrants.
* Old Worlder - a supporter of abusive behaviours that favour elderly, older, and richer people over workers and children.

P

* parentism - supporting the poor attitudes of parents.
	+ In Denlotian law, there were 86 or up to 570 different types of behaviours that were classified as wrong attitudes by parents against children.
	+ Those included stealing from children's money, landing one's self into a severe debt due to overconfidence, not paying a debt that they caused towards their children, using an excuse to celebrate a vacation or festival, "there is no free lunch", and denying one's children from becoming successful. Such charges can cause a parent to go to prison or get beaten up by a mob.
	+ Although this was one of the reason why the more-conservative and religious members of the Fifty-Six waged war on the Denlotia, the Denlotians believe that this will eliminate the bad parents from the good ones (themselves). The Fifty-Six demanded that all parents, even evil, corrupt, and abusive ones, must be obeyed without question and bowed down to.
	+ There is no sight more hateful and infuriating to a Denlotian than seeing a parent smile while their child suffers.
* phenism - hatred of other people by their racial background and especially physical appearance, "phenotype". For example, hatred of Rifandians (dark-skinned; may also include misogynoir or hatred towards women) *and* hatred of Mannurlings (light-skinned).
	+ In Denlotian times, this term replaced "racism", as some American armies used it for "elitist hatred or abuse of other races" rather than "hatred of people due to their physical background". Their demands to punish only racists who attack minorities, mainly to focus on the protection of minorities, led to the usage of "phenism" to refer to hatred or abuse of *all* races.
	+ If the American usage of "racism" is used, then it applies in a country where Mannurlings abuse Rifandians (similar to some American societies), or in some Rifandian countries where Mannurlings are being abused (what some Americans fear). "Phenism" covers both situations, including if a minority treats a majority person in the same contempt or violence. In all cases like these, all perpetrators are punished on the basis of committing the crime itself, rather than just the majority or elites, forcing a sort of harsh equality to destroy the corruption of the Old World.
* polloi - a polytheist who behaves and thinks like a monoi, becoming too violent and hateful to force others to worship his gods. Some polloi are considered as monoi for being too well-known and harmful.
* prevention - "the paradox of tolerance", but practiced by Denlotians. Not only it targets racism, fascism, and anything promoting harm against other groups, but it also targets extremism, militarism, communism, and "Americanist" (selfish, cruel, sadistic) attitudes. It was also why scammers were put to death in the Denlotia.

R

* redshelf - to restrict a prohibited work from being publicly displayed.
	+ Named after the red paint on some shelves in hidden parts of libraries.
	+ In order to access a redshelved work, one must request a librarian with permission to read or look at that work.
	+ Accounts that are deleted for prohibited behaviour may have their contents, including some deleted posts, archived. However, the more abhorrent ones are deleted with no copies, thankfully lost to time to save curious minds from being scarred.
* reporting words, quoting words - forbidden words that are only allowed to explain their meanings, or report who uses them.
	+ Alternate history and fictional settings are also allowed to depict those words, as the Denlotians see them as dystopias to learn not to become.
* rite of purification, purification rite, forgiveness rite, rite of forgiveness; integration - a ritual all Terrans must participate before they can undergo paying off their compensation (e.g. rebuilding, payment, a service, etc) and becoming accepted into Jerdiskar society. No deaths or executions are needed, which will disqualify a Terran from the rite. Terrans who finish their compensation have finished their rite of purification, and are no longer considered as Terrans.
	+ The initial ceremony consists of the Terran wearing white clothes, being sprinkled or splashed with flowery water, and reciting a pledge to remain obedient. He or she lists down their crimes and swears to apologise and pay for their sins, and the sins of their ancestors.
	+ Jerdiskar also conduct this rite if they are descended from great criminals, like traitors, but do not commit the same acts and are innocent.

S

* sacrifice culture - the Terran mentality that you must sacrifice yourself so the rich (or the devout/Internet troll/dictator) will live on and rule.
	+ This leads to the Denlotian view that Terrans don't value their lives at all, except to please their leaders, deities, causes, or hedonism.
* "sacrifice someone to themselves" - to be executed for a great crime. Denlotians teach that the criminal who did that made their own life worthless.

T

* Terra - the worlds of the Fifty-Six Tyrants, hellholes and wastelands filled with corruption, abuse, and madness.
* Terran, Terror, Tyrant, Earthling - any inhabitant of the evil worlds and civilisations of the Fifty-Six Tyrants. Because many of them were cruel and fanatical, *all* Terrans were seen as evil and hateful; and even demonic.
* Terranisation - to become more Terran, to be more hateful and evil.
* terrorist - a person who supports abusive behaviours, hostile views, or enemies of the Denlotia. A criminal.
	+ Also used as a mockery of some American armies using "terrorist" towards foreigners - the Denlotians inverted the usage to refer to criminals, especially those who commit acts that hurt more people and society in general.
	+ Bigots were also named as "terrorists", again to mock the American armies. It also meant that a bigot hates society and seeks to destroy it by harming others.
* The Great Enemy, the Enemy - the Terrans and Old Worlders, people who oppose the Denlotia's forceful methods to create a more harmonious and efficient society. The term is mostly used for their attitudes and beliefs, which are believed to corrupt a person into committing more cruelty and abuse.
	+ Their beliefs include selfishness, the promotion of poverty and suffering, accepting loss, treating suffering as a lesson, and even simple concepts like responsibility, maturity, patience, accountability, and sacrifice.
	+ The reason why Denlotians hate them was because these add to the suffering that they already been through from the Third World War, and horror over how the Americans and other Terrans abused their subjects. Likewise, the distorted views of the Great Enemy were shaped by similar torments and hardships during their earlier years.
	+ This also made them horrific enough to hate their own parents for focusing on their own survival and making them adults, instead of resolving many difficult problems and leading to an easier life, in the name of responsibility. In turn, the "Great Enemy" denounces all Denlotians as "selfish brats and manchildren" who deserve to die for their selfishness.
* the neighbourhood - a mob formed by everyone around you.
	+ So instead of "Big Brother is watching you", the Denlotian version would be "Everyone watches the Big Brother [and he is afraid of you and us]" or "We are all Big Brother - you, me, and everyone are Big Brother".
	+ face the neighbourhood - to be punished by a mob. The punishment for people who build faulty machines or cause Internet errors.
	+ the punishment of the neighbourhood - to be beaten up by a mob. Usually the fate of people who advocate for extremely hostile views (like selfishness, pro-Terran rule, hatred of Jerdiskar society, abuse of children, hatred of the poor, calls to wage war on Jerdiskar people and their religions, threats to kill Jerdiskar)
* the Scarred Ones - Terrans, whose experiences with brutality drove them into an obsession with power, revenge, and fear.
	+ One common fear that many Terrans suffer from was that everyone would forget them and never help them, and they would starve to death or be exterminated by their enemies.
* time-eater - a parent who forces their children to do housework or become more "adult-like" (as in "responsibility", "work", "there is no free lunch". etc. that rejects the creation of prosperity as a catalyst for laziness and opposition to tradition).
* trolling - indoctrination, glorifying cruel and evil behaviours, or Terran supremacism. Mischief is not considered as "trolling" in the Denlotia, but "trolling" nowadays refers to cyberwarfare. Rude behaviour on the Internet was also considered as "trolling", and even as "terrorism".
	+ This is why Denlotians do not engage in online quarrels, because they do not want to be corrupted by anger, hate, or sadism. They have higher matters to focus on.
* tyroi, tirra - a Terran, an extremist, an enemy

U

* Un-Terran - a Terran who renounced their Terran views and agrees to work with the Jerdiskar, usually with an apology followed by a declaration of surrender. They must undergo a purification rite, and a trial, to prove that they are truly sorry and willing to pay any victims they have. Those who did so were no longer Terrans, but considered one of the Jerdiskar.
	+ In spite of their forgiveness, in some countries they were denied from certain rights (like voting, having any authority, or even running their own business).

W

* whataboutism - the habit by Terrans to deny their own cruelty towards others' sins. They did this either to make themselves more pitiful and win others' support, kill their enemies, or make themselves more greater than they actually were.
	+ This is stereotyped as common among American or monoi Terrans, who wanted people to focus on them instead of the current disaster, or they will be forgotten and killed. They come from societies that suffer from neglect, so they become more selfish and self-centred, to the point to misusing "humanity" for the sake of supremacy.
	+ That does not mean that you cannot bring up a different issue when one issue is raised. To prevent whataboutism, Denlotians *must* state their stance on the current issue *before* bringing up the other issue.
	+ If the other issue is brought up first, and no answer is about the current issue, then this is "whataboutism". It is considered a form of selfishness, sacrificing yourself to let the Terran rule over you if you still live.
	+ The same if someone rephrases a question, *if* the question is NOT answered first.
* wounded tiger mentality, tigerness - the Terran view that you must torture and exterminate your enemy and expect to be pitied, simply because only you matter in this world. To Denlotians, this is a very disgusting form of hypocrisy that allows Terrans to take over and rule, and then destroy themselves as new Terrans challenge their leaders.
	+ Two examples are from the Black Pillars and the Butcher Lords, who cruelly attack and slaughter their enemies for their religion. And then when their enemies attack them, they show pictures of their wounded women and children. And when anyone asks them about their motives, both armies answered "We are the righteous ones, while you are an abomination before God/Odin! We deserve to live and rule!"
	+ To avoid this, Denlotians do show pictures of their wounded and ruins, but not too much about their own women and children as their enemies did. So the Terrans saw the Denlotians as inhuman and heartless, though the latter insisted that they were being very straightforward.

## Slogans

* Become the consequences - a boast used by the Denlotia to mock the Terrans' wars and abusive behaviours being known as "consequences". It means that the Denlotia will become the punishment for everything evil the Terrans did.
	+ Variants of this slogan include:
		- Be the consequences
		- Do not fear the consequences, but be the consequences
		- We are the consequences / we are the punishment / we are their punishment / we are their curse / we are justice
		- You are the consequences / you are the punishment / you are their curse / you are justice
* Let us be the sky - Our freedom is more vast than yours; just because we punish some harmful behaviours does not mean that everyone must be in chains
* No justice, no peace - Without justice and resolution, there will only be panic, chaos, and ruin.
* The door is always open, but you will pay for it in blood - You will not be banned so easily, and in fact, you may always be welcomed back after an explanation and an apology. But, you must undergo penance before you can be allowed again.
* We have the technology - a common excuse by the Denlotians to use force to destroy a perceived threat - whether it's a warmonger or even a behaviour that is disliked.

## Trivia

* While Terrans use many complicated words to focus on an ideology, Denlotians instead simplify the words to their basic concepts so what they mean are easily understood, at least from an older schoolchild.
	+ For example, instead of "bigot", they say "criminal" or "terrorist" (because bigots' hatred of some groups and extremist ties lead to terrorism); and "marginalised" is replaced by "poor people" or "outcast".
* The Terrans' sadistic, backward, militant views were influenced by the many Internet trolls and extremists that the author had encountered in his teenage years.
