## Alien
The word alien carries a negative connotation of strangeness. It should not be used to describe unauthorized immigrants.
## Antigay
In support of oppressing homosexuals.
## Antimuslim
In support of oppressing muslims. Antimuslim people are usually racists. However, being anti-Islam or anti-religion does not make you antimuslim.
## Antisocial media
Online platforms that invade users' privacy for money. Antisocial media promotes human conflict, phone addiction, depression, anxiety, poor social skills, constantly comparing oneself to others, and the illusion of real human connection.
## Antitrans
In support of oppressing transgender people.
## Child
Someone twelve years of age or less. Calling adolescents and teenagers children is condescending.
## Consume
To use up. Downloading online content (e.g. movies, music, videos, videogames, e-books) leaves the original copy intact, so it is misleading to say online content is consumed.
## Digital Skinner box
A digital environment that conditions people to certain behaviors in much the same way psychologist B.F. Skinner conditioned rats using behavioral reinforcements. Antisocial media and many online videogames are digital skinner boxes.
## Digital tulips
Cryptocurrency. A reference to tulip mania of the Dutch Golden Age.
## The disease-spreading party
The Republican party. Republicans blocked federal funding for Covid vaccines and treatment while buying stocks to profit from the deaths.
## Disloyalty program
A rewards-based marketing strategy which offers discounts to consumers who forfeit their privacy.
## The exploitation economy
The gig economy.
## Global heating
Climate change.
## Hypocrite
Someone with blatant disregard for the alignment of their words and actions. Not someone who imperfectly adheres to their own principles.
## In-cell
Someone who is always in their cellphone. Every activity an in-cell does is interrupted by incessant smartphone usage and notification checking. Being an in-cell is the norm now.
## Inappropriate
A weasel word used to criticize something when there's no valid criticism.
## The injustice system
A vengeful legal system which uses the incoherent concept of free will to justify keeping people in cruel and inhumane conditions.
## The lesser of two evils party
The Democratic party. Corporate democrats suck, but at least they're not Republicans.
## Pass (away)
A euphemism for avoiding the reality of death.
## Planet-roaster
An entity that advocates policies which worsen global heating.
## Police officer
A respectable, hardworking person who doesn't act like a thug.
## Schrödinger's douchebag
Someone who makes bigoted statements, then decides whether or not they were "just joking/trolling" based on others' approval. This way, they avoid ever admitting to being wrong.
## Techno-ponzi
Cryptocurrency.
## Thug
A badge-and-gun-wielding predator who attacks nonviolent protesters, jails peaceful drug users, harasses the poor, and lies in court to defend other thugs.
## The wannabe dictator
Donald Trump.
## Worth
Reject the idea that a person's worth is measured by their financial assets.
