AIRE
Trandphobic people have embrace the acronym TERF, which they believe means "Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminist," but feminism is a path to egalitarianism, which can't Exclude anyone. A more appropriate acronym would stand for Trans-Exclusive Radical Discriminators, or TERD.
But it's not enough to criticize others. You have to be enthusiastically welcoming if you believe that we are all equal with inalienable human rights. Therefore:
All-Inclusive Radical Egalitarian, or AIRE.

"Who do you hate?"
No one.
"Jews?"
No.
"Then Muslims!"
No!
"Women?"
No.
"So men then?"
Still no.
"People who don't fit out preconceived notions of men and/or women?"
Don't hate any of them... Before you break out the litany of other things humans use to divide from one another, we're ALL equal, so if I hate someone, I hate myself equally. An AIRE isn't self-loathing like that, in any way.
No one.

Gynophobia
Misogyny is far too gentle a term.
A phobia is not just a fear -- feeling creeped out when you walk into a spider web is rational/burning down the house because you saw a dust bunny that might have been a spider is an irrational fear (arachnophobia).
In the patriarchy, a real Alpha -- or even a normal human -- has no reason to fear half the planet. Yet, they do.
They kill women.
The cause serious physical and mental harm to women.
That's genocide, by definition.
"Misogyny" just doesn't describe that adequately.

Rashida Tlaib can't even condemn rape?
What can I say? In the Patriarchy, Gynophobia can be internalized.

McLeftist
In political science, the political spectrum shows Liberals on the Left, and Conservatives on the Right. But for a decade, Berniecrats have adopted Doublethink to simultaneously accuse Democrats of being Centrists, but also Liberals, used as a slur. To differentiate themselves, they have turned to calling themselves "Leftists," while openly rejecting positions of the Left like social justice and equality. All they have is the economic talking points. However:
1 Without social justice and equality, those economic points are just White Populism
2 Without realizing that the barrier to economic progress is the GOP, and committing to Vote Them All Out, they are not progress, they are just empty talking points
This "Leftism" is like the "Quarter Pounder," which is a misleading reference to the pre-cooked weight -- and since the quality of beef decreased, the resulting hamburger got smaller and smaller until the sandwich was virtually unrecognizable. Hence, "McLeftist."

"Do you think that Leftist knows that bullying people by calling them 'Liberals' is a self-own?"
"Naw. He's a McLeftist. He keeps calling everyone but Reagan and Thatcher 'neoliberals' too."

Green MAGA
An astroturf "movement" purportedly working for the bumper sticker "Green New Deal" but voting against things like clean water. Like original MAGA, they are not real Democrats, but paid by conservatives, often from outside the US, to divide the actual Water Protectors and other devoted environmentalists, instead teaming with FreeDumb Caucus members like MTG to protect Russian oil oligarchs.
Bernie Blue MAGA do not like being called Blue MAGA -- probably because Blue is for Democrats, and one of their other aliases confirmed that the former "Blue MAGA" are actually a hostile takeover of the Democratic Party voting union, so to help everyone understand that they are not Democrats, they can be called Green MAGA instead.

"What do you mean, there's a definition accusing Green MAGA of being trolls and bot farmed? Let's send 18,000 accounts to swarm this definition and give it a Thumbs Down to prove how authentic we are!"

Palestinian genocide
Approximately two millennia ago, Colonizers, Occupiers, and Oppressors deliberately sought to erase indigenous Jewish people from their homelands in Israel/Judah. Rather than simply renaming the region, the Empire chose to rename it after the Philistines, who had ceased to exist five centuries prior, spelling it "Palestina," or as it was eventually anglicized, Palestine.
So, the "Palestinians" are just Israelis under their Colonizer name. But does that mean the "Free Palestine" movement means freeing Israel? No.
Just over 100 years ago, "Palestinian" was coined to refer to other Colonizers and Occupiers -- who now accuse the indigenous people of genocide!

Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, kills Gazans when its own genocidal rockets aimed at Israel fall inside Gaza.
Hamas: "Is this Palestinian genocide?"

IIBO
Short for "If I'm Being Honest"
When you make a statement that's true, but acknowledge that it will likely never be commonly accepted and implemented.

One day, the people who call Kamala Harris a warmonger, despite their active support of her warmonger opponent, may realize they were making Accusations In A Mirror.
But it will probably require large quantities of pharmaceuticals, IIBO.

Pyramid Theory
Horseshoe Law was once a theory, but the events of the 21st Century have established it as accepted law. However, it leaves certain questions unanswered. For example, the original Horseshoe Law sometimes neglects to mention the role of economics, and the fact that Democrats are not on the side of the Horseshoe, but at the bottom. Democrats are egalitarians -- what explains why some people climb up the right side through conservatism and others through white libertarianism? What finally unites both sides at the gap?
Pyramid Theory suggests that we all start at 0 on an X Axis. Narcissists move as far as they can to one end of the axis or the other, but realize they want to climb up the socioeconomic ladder. But narcissism is lonely without peons, so eventually they lean the ladder back to the middle, meeting narcissists from the other side at the top of the Pyramid, free to practice their Autocracy over the base.

"I get why conservatives would open up two fronts against the Democrats, but those two candidates seemed so far apart -- why did Russia support both of them, and how did they know it would work?"
"At one end of the spectrum, you have Trumpers. At the other, you have Closet Trumpers. One side is proudly racist. The other scrambles for some rationalization that their racism isn't actually racist -- it's just 'identity politics,' 'economic anxiety,' or some other 'distraction.' Find someone willing to regurgitate those old lies, and you have control over the two sides of Pyramid Theory."
