Vanguard 1998's definitions

Political insanity

1: The chaos associated with politics
2: A perception problem where an individual's abilities to tell what is and is not real, tell right from wrong, and control their emotions are impaired because of how an individual's views and expectations about the world around them and other people's behavior are strongly shaped by their political ideology. They tend not to respect other people's opinions.
1: There is always so much political insanity occurring during election season, because the politicians always fight over things that tend to be quite pointless to the extent where it becomes annoying.
2: Marco tends to have a big issue with political insanity. He never listens to other people's views on politics and keeps asserting that they are wrong.

the Forgotten Point

The point in time at which, after someone dies, no living person remembers that individual anymore. The amount of time for this takes occur varies from person to person; and depends on how popular they were and how many close friends and family they have.
Charlie was very popular and well liked. It will take them many years before they reach the forgotten point. Joe was not as well known; so he will reach the forgotten point sooner than Charlie will.

Privilege of the Living

The idea that people who are alive have more legal rights and protections and are often valued more socially by mainstream society and the government compared to people who are deceased.
People need to be more mindful of about the Privilege of the Living. Just because someone has died does not mean that they no longer have any value.

Political favoritism

When an individual chooses to favor to political party and or ideology over all of the other ones, which tends to lead them naïve and inconsiderate when trying to address a wide variety of political and social issues.
It is not uncommon for poorly educated people to have political favoritism, because they assume that the political party they support is right usually on many issues and that the other parties tend to be wrong in their eyes. The best way to resolve this problem is to give them a better education on how the government works and what the other parties actually believe.

Political Sandstorm

A situation where the politics related to that specific issue cause so much controversy in the media and society and bickering between the various political parties over what is, how serious it is, and how to address it that it is almost impossible to grasp what really happened in that situation because you are unable clearly see what occurred.
Person 1: It is hard tell what is really happened in regards to whether or not Russia intelligence hacked into the U.S. election in order to manipulate the results.

Person 2: It is still hard tell what happened even today because of how the politicians and society responded. The political sandstorm related to that issue will likely not wear off for quite some time.

Individual societal value erosion effect

or ISVEE; The process where, after somebody dies, society and the government value the person who died less as time passes by. The more time that has passed since the person died, the less society and the government value them as an individual. How rapidly this process occurs depends on how important society viewed the person as being, how they died, and how many close friends and family the individual had.
Person 1: Isaiah was nice guy. Its a shame more people don't remember who he was and how much he helped this community. Its only been five years since he died.
Person 2: Yeah. Unfortunately, a lot of people have forgotten about him and value him that much anymore. He is a victim of the Individual societal value erosion effect, which is very unfortunate.
Person 1: I agree with you there.
