Authoritarian Religious Cult 

Oh? You mean you're not going to continue you to do that? Because you were doing that up until now and the internet shit-libs are going to keep doing and NOW...
Hym "The conservatives are doing it too... The were already an Authoritarian Religious Cult and now they're back at it again and are violating the constitution by imposing their incest cult on the schools in their states. So... That isn't helpful. It's too late for any of that. You've already lost. You might as well go into hibernation for the next 5 years because you're done. You shouldn't have let the economy slip fuck-face. And by economy I mean the price of domestic goods. And I don't care about the billionaires shit-lib. Prices down NOW. Don't care how it happens. Also, my thing or death."

Authoritarian Financialization

A critical term for how financialization—the domination of finance over the productive economy—operates as an authoritarian force. Financial markets impose discipline on governments (austerity), corporations (shareholder value), and individuals (debt). Those who cannot pay are subjected to wage garnishment, asset seizure, and credit exclusion. Authoritarian financialization is the power of bondholders over democracy, of credit scores over life chances, of debt over dignity. It rules not through soldiers but through compound interest and the threat of bankruptcy.
Authoritarian Financialization Example: “The city declared bankruptcy to cut pensions and sell public assets—authoritarian financialization, where bondholders’ claims override workers’ lives.”

Totalitarian Financialization

An intensification of authoritarian financialization, arguing that finance has become totalitarian: it colonizes every domain of existence, from education (student loans) to health (medical debt) to housing (mortgages). It trains people to think of themselves as portfolios, to optimize their credit scores, and to accept that financial risk is the horizon of all decision-making. Totalitarian financialization is the internalization of finance as destiny—where even resistance is calculated in terms of return on investment.

Example: “She delayed having children to pay off student debt, worked two jobs to keep her credit score up, and invested in crypto to feel some hope—totalitarian financialization, where life itself becomes an asset class.”

Authoritarian Precarization

A critical term for how precarization—the spread of unstable, contingent, insecure work—functions as an authoritarian mechanism. Precarious workers cannot afford to dissent, to organize, or to demand rights. The threat of losing one’s livelihood is the most effective discipline: it turns workers against each other, forces compliance, and eliminates resistance. Authoritarian precarization is rule by fear of falling, where insecurity is not a bug but a feature—a quiet, economic authoritarianism.
Authoritarian Precarization Example: “She knew speaking up about safety violations would get her hours cut. Authoritarian precarization: the whip of uncertainty, more effective than any boss’s shout.”

Totalitarian Precarization

An extreme form of authoritarian precarization, where insecurity becomes total—encompassing work, housing, health, and social belonging. People live in a state of chronic emergency, never able to plan, trust, or hope. Totalitarian precarization dissolves solidarity, commodifies every relationship, and leaves individuals atomized and desperate. It is the totalitarian control of life through the engineered absence of stability, making everyone a supplicant to the next contract, the next gig, the next arbitrary decision by an algorithm or manager.

Example: “He had three ‘jobs,’ lived in a weekly motel, and had no health insurance—his entire existence was a month‑to‑month negotiation. Totalitarian precarization: freedom as constant collapse.”

Authoritarian Uberization

A critical term for the way Uberization (the gig‑economy model of precarious, algorithm‑managed labor) functions as authoritarian control. Workers are subjected to opaque algorithms, instant deactivation without due process, and surveillance that monitors every movement. There is no appeal, no union, no stability. Authoritarian Uberization replaces the employer‑employee relationship with a system of absolute, unaccountable power that demands total flexibility while offering zero security. It is the authoritarian face of the gig economy.
Example: “A glitch in the app deactivated his account—no income, no explanation, no human to talk to. That’s authoritarian Uberization: rule by algorithm, with no right to reply.”

Totalitarian Uberization

A more extreme version of Authoritarian Uberization, arguing that the gig platform model is totalitarian in its ambition to govern every aspect of workers’ lives. From scheduling to performance feedback, from pay rates to social credit scores, the platform seeks total control. It does this not through overt coercion but through seamless integration: workers voluntarily surrender autonomy because the platform is their only access to work. Totalitarian Uberization is the normalization of absolute employer power hidden behind an app’s friendly interface.

Example: “The app tracked his location off the clock, docked pay for breaks, and even rated his ‘reliability’ based on personal reviews. Totalitarian Uberization: the platform as panopticon.”

alphabetical authorities 

Da "top people" whom folks consult for advice/assistance on a variety of ordinary topics dat are randomly scattered about over da "ol' 26" in da English language.
Da seven most common types of alphabetical authorities are:
(1) hexpert --- someone who is super-familiar with voodoo and curses; hopefully he uses said vast witchcraft-knowledge to remove or alleviate said evil spells, not to put them on in da first place!
(2) mexpert --- an individual well-versed in all matters "south of da border".
(3) pexpert --- a plumber who is well-versed in da use of freeze-resistant plastic piping
(4) rexpert --- a learned bookworm on da subject of certain animals, either man's best friend or da huge hunched-over carnivores back in da Jurassic period.
(5) sexpert --- someone who can advise couples on achieving more satisfying intimacy.
(6) texpert --- a dude who knows all about da "black-tea"-rich southern-USA area dat is Ranger Walker's usual stompin' grounds.
(7) vexpert --- a human-nature guru with extensive experience on what pushes people's buttons; again --- as in da first example above --- presumably he uses said know-how to help **reduce** already-existing frustration/distress in others, not to purposely exhibit destructive behavior dat would cause people to **become** wound up when they had felt reasonably calm before! (Da infamous "gettin', getters, got"exchange between Madea and Dr. Phil comes to mind.)

Traditional Authoritarian Society 

It is political-philosophical and spiritual thought about a vigilant state based on authority to restore tradition.

Through a provisional state led by (non-elected) aristocrats, after the overthrow of the liberal-democratic state and party parliamentarism, a period of dictatorship of restoration of ethical principles is established and traditional moral values. All liberal-bourgeois values like Socialism and Communism (Egalité), Liberalism and Progressivism (Liberté), Democracy (Fraternité) are replaced by holistic values. The restoration of culture takes place through the censorship of the mass media and other means of communication, the restructuring of schools and the education system, and the resurgence of the fine arts.
The free-market capitalist economy is replaced by Organic State intervention, replacing transnational companies and large enterprises by antitrust laws to abolish the irregular exploitation of raw materials, minerals and cartels, but not private property. Suppress the class struggle through intermediary bodies, restoring dignity to workers and enterprises. The Secular State and the free creed are abolished, rebuilding the Traditional Spiritual State. The Democratic State of Law, the Liberal Constitution, the International Treaties are dissolved, respectively, and, in their place, the Natural Law is instituted. The military aristocracy (police and army) is called upon to contain internal and external threats. Subversive demonstrations are prohibited.
Traditional Authoritarian Society is the way of using the state's monopoly on the use of force to restore Tradition.
