Socialpetaloso 

In Italy, the term "socialpetaloso" (socialpetalous) is referred to a lib-left militant who claims to be a communist just because it wears a Che Guevara shirt, smokes weed or uses the asterisk after a word to avoid being sexist or homophobe.

Socialpetalous: I've just bought a new Che Guevara shirt, let's get high, my dear communist friend. (Ho appena comprato una nuova maglietta di Che Guevara, sballiamoci, mio caro amico comunista).

Tankie: Oh, you're such a shitty socialpetalous. You should be sent you to the gulag. (Sei un socialpetaloso di merda. Dovresti essere spedito nel gulag.]

Socialpost

A form of goalpost manipulation where the ultimate objective is to negatively target a social group through documented interactions. The socialpost is the moving standard of acceptable behavior within a community, designed to elicit responses that can be used against the group. First, members are encouraged to express themselves freely. Then, their expressions are cataloged. When the "right" quote is obtained—one that can be taken out of context, made to sound extreme, or used to stereotype—the post stops moving. That quote becomes the "proof" of the group's true nature, shared widely to ridicule and condemn. The socialpost has done its work: manufactured evidence of a group's supposed flaws.

Example: "They wanted to discredit the disability rights movement, so they set up a socialpost in a support server. First, they asked members about their frustrations with ableism. Members shared honestly. Then they asked about anger. Members shared more. Then they asked about dreams of accessibility. Finally, one member said something that could be framed as 'entitled.' That quote was screenshotted, stripped of context, and posted widely: 'See how disabled activists really think.' The post had moved until they got what they needed."
