luxury ghetto
This term is used to describe places along the lines of unethical safaris in Kenya, certain all-inclusive resorts in India, and fortress-like compounds in areas like Cape Town, etc, which are built directly in the center of impoverished and economically destitute geographic areas. Luxury ghettos are blood-sucking establishments that exist solely for the daillances of the wealthy, while the surrounding land receives little to no economic benefit.
“It’s very important to connect to the community and not to just have luxury ghettos” -- Praveen Moman

Sid: "Yeah...let's bail and go get some 40's. These kids just don't get it"

telenovela banished
Where all ties are dramatically, definitively and even threateningly cut, leaving the receiving party not only with no hope of reversal or reconciliation, but causing them to question their most basic beliefs about the closeness of the former relationship and their own sense of reality within it.
Often neatly reconciled by audacious deus ex machina.

Starbucks Justice Warrior
A variation on the classic SJW. this version is usually female, blonde, cis normative, a trust fund baby, and clearly going through a shitty "I'm an activist" stage.
Conv between two Starbucks Justice Warriors:
Lisa: "OMG let's go vandalize that sexist billboard that had the girl in the bikini on it!"
Tina: "You mean that billboard that was a bikini ad?"
Lisa: "Yes! That one! First, let's pick up some pumpkin spice lattes, okay?"
Tina: "Yaasssss!!"
