primalism 

A school of philosophy that celebrates putting primal needs and desires before anything else. A primalist individual will eat when they are hungry, sleep when they are tired, and do what they please when they please to. This may also be considered "doing what you want and not giving a fuck," a la Don Draper (see: Don Draper). However, a primalist may also find satisfaction in what may be more traditionally considered "primal": living outdoors, raw foods or vegan, primalsexuality, etc. Primalism, at its core, is about bringing humanity back to paleolithic or even pre-paleolithic cultural standards and lifestyle.
John follows the philosophy of primalism pretty close. I caught him taking a leak outside behind the shed with a fresh rolled stogie in one hand and a cold beer in the other, wearing nothing but his ripped boxers and those sunglasses he found at the Best Buy.

spades privilige 

When you are dealt a monster hand in the game of Spades. But then pretend that you actually only made your bid through skill and a bit of luck. Typically this occurs when going 10/200 (Bidding that you will win 10 books out of 13), and having several of the highest cards in the game.
Justin was dealt both jokers, Ace and deuce of spades, King queen and Jack of spades. But still put on a big show of how "close" that hand was and how he had to play it just right in order to get their 10 books, thus demonstrating his intense spades privilige.

Man 2: Yeah, she is NOT attractive.

Man 1: No check her our from the front, I'm telling ya - she just suffers from profilism.

privatism 

An educational system whereby all public schools are eliminated and replaced with private schools. In a privatist country, only two types of education systems exist:

1) Private School system
2) Home-school system

In a privatist country, all parents have to pay extra money but the money comes into beneficial use.

Results:

1) ALL students are marked fairly.
2) ALL lazy teachers are fired.
3) ALL schools have excellent facilities.

Sadly, a country has yet to achieve privatism.
Privatism is beautiful.

"I agree with where that Greta Thunberg's argument is coming from; she does need to realise that she's lived a very privilised life up to now, though!"
