The Logical Fallacy's definitions

Mondo films

A subgenre of mockumentary that focus on exotic customs and particularly gruesome subject matters. Also referred to as "shockumentaries" and "exploitation pseudo-documentaries."
"Faces of Death" is an American mondo production that talks about and depicts various methods of death and violence. While panned critically, "Face of Death" has become a staple of the genre and can be considered a gateway film for those with a passing interest in mondo films.

Fluxus

An early '60s to late '70s art movement that focused on experimentally mixing various artistic medias and disciplines.
Much like Dadaism and Futurism, Fluxus used Anti-Art to challenge the establishment of the time, change culture as a whole and make fine art more accessible to the masses. Yoko Ono for example was one of many fluxus artists at the time that made performance art an actual thing in modern art.

Christploitation

A subgenre of exploitation film that focuses overtly on Christian themes and seeks to relay a religious agenda in favor of Christianity (sometimes even a specific denomination there-of) to the point of being propaganda. Films usually involve themes of patriotism, traditionalism, conservative values, depictions of Christians as an oppressed minority class, non-Christians portrayed as either non-existent or morally bankrupt, insane troll logic used to justify the protagonists, etc.
With the boom of Pure Flix and Kirk Cameron films like "God's Not Dead", "Old Fashioned" and "Fireproof", we are facing a new wave of mainstream Christploitation cinema.

Anarcho-communism

A left-wing, libertarian extremist ideology that rejects all forms of societal hierarchies - social, economic, genetic - and by extension the state for creating and enforcing them.
"Anarcho-communism. Anarcho-communists are a first variant of leftist anarchism. They are communists, but minus the state."
-- Jreg, "Anti-Centrism: Know Your Extremists (From Anprim to Nazbol)"

Post-Ironic Democracy

When you run for office in a Democratic system, lose the vote, declare yourself the winner anyway and accuse everyone else of being the ones in denial.
"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."
-- Jreg satirizing Post-Ironic Democracy in "I Won (And By A Lot)"

Queer nationalism

The establishment of cultural customs, norms and identity based around the LGBT Community, LGBT Rights and queerness present in the greater national stage.

Not to be confused with Homonationalism.
Homonationalism is using LGBT Rights to justify a culture of injustice.
Queer nationalism is a culture born from LGBT Rights.
Don't confuse the two. Ever.
