Capitlolism

When an economic-political system where extreme capitalism merges with spectacle governance, turning power, money, and ideology into a reality show. Often used when events are so chaotic or hypocritical that “late-stage capitalism” no longer feels like a sufficient explanation, so all you can do is laugh grimly.

Watching billionaires fund culture wars while infrastructure collapses is peak capitlolism.

Capitalist Hyperrealism

The belief that capitalist economics doesn't just describe markets but constitutes reality—that everything can and should be understood in economic terms, that market logic applies to all domains, that value is what the market says it is. Capitalist Hyperrealism reduces love to transaction, art to investment, life to human capital. It sees the world through the lens of profit and calls that vision reality. It produces a world perfectly optimized for extraction and utterly impoverished in everything else. Capitalist Hyperrealism is the philosophy of those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Example: "He evaluated everything by market logic: relationships as exchanges, skills as assets, time as investment. Capitalist Hyperrealism had made him economically rational and humanly bankrupt. When she spoke of love, he calculated costs and benefits. She left; he couldn't understand why the transaction failed. He had perfect models of everything and experience of nothing."

Capitalist Sophism

The use of economic language, market logic, and capitalist frameworks to defend positions that serve elite interests while appearing neutral or inevitable. Capitalist Sophism invokes "market forces," "efficiency," and "incentives" as if they were natural laws, ignoring the power structures, inequalities, and externalities that markets produce. It's sophistry in service of the status quo: using the language of economics to obscure the reality of exploitation.

"Privatizing water is more efficient, they said—ignoring that efficiency meant profit, not access. Capitalist Sophism: market logic as moral argument, economics as ethics. The sophistry lies in treating efficiency as the only value, ignoring justice, equity, and life itself."

Capitalist Hyperrealism

The fusion of Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism (the pervasive sense that capitalism is the only viable political and economic system) with Hyperslavery, Late-Stage Capitalism, Objective Hyperrealism, Precarized Consumerism, and Hyperconsumerism into a seamless, inescapable atmosphere of late capitalist life. It's not just the belief that there's no alternative to capitalism—it's the lived experience of a world where capitalism has become so total that it constitutes the entire horizon of the real. Under capitalist hyperrealism, precarity is normal, exploitation is freedom, garbage products are luxury goods, and the whole system is buttressed by an Objective Hyperrealist ideology that treats these conditions as natural facts rather than political choices. The result is a reality so completely colonized by capital that imagining beyond it requires not just political opposition but an almost impossible act of perceptual rebellion.

Example: "He couldn't see his gig economy job as exploitation because Capitalist Hyperrealism had so thoroughly saturated his consciousness—this was just 'how things are,' as natural and unchangeable as gravity."

Capitalist Orthodoxy

The established, institutionalized set of beliefs about capitalism that dominate mainstream economics, policy, and public discourse—the often-unexamined assumptions that markets are efficient, that growth is good, that privatization improves services, that competition drives innovation, and that capitalism is the only viable economic system. Capitalist orthodoxy includes specific commitments: that free markets allocate resources optimally, that regulation distorts efficiency, that inequality is the natural result of differential contribution, that economic growth is the primary measure of success, and that alternatives to capitalism are either impossible or disastrous. Like all orthodoxies, it provides a framework for thinking about economics, but it can also function as ideology—making capitalist arrangements seem natural and inevitable, obscuring exploitation and harm, and delegitimizing alternatives. Capitalist orthodoxy determines what questions economists ask, what policies are considered reasonable, and who counts as a "serious" economic thinker versus a naive idealist.

Example: "She suggested that maybe growth isn't always good—and was dismissed as economically illiterate by her colleagues. Capitalist orthodoxy doesn't allow questioning of its most fundamental assumptions; they're treated as self-evident rather than contestable."

Campist-galning

Campist-galningen; Campist-galningen, en person med en uforklarlig trang til at opholde sig i en papkasse, omringet af andre papkasser, så tæt liggende at alt der minder om privatliv bliver til en illusion. Campist-galningen har en ganske vanvittig trang til at dele toilet og bade faciliteter med 200 andre galninge

"Så" sagde Poul Erik, "nu har jeg booket vores årlige tour på diverse danske campingpladser, nøøøj hvor jeg glæder mig til at bruge 3 uger af min sommerferie på at være 'et med den danske natur'". Han skævede over til sin kone, som bare rystede på hovedet: "*suk*, Poul Erik, du er i sand en ægte campist-galning".
