Ethos policing

The idea that science doesn't work if you're motivated by the wrong ethos is ridiculous.
Hym "And how does that not devolve into ethos policing? Where you do what the religious enterprise does in holding hostage the good afterlife... except shifted down one level of abstraction. And now instead of God holding the good afterlife hostage, you have (Almost not a) Dr. Jordan Peterson and his cronies using boycotting, intellect property theft, media blacklisting, and gaslighting to withhold the good life from political dissidents. And that's the point of doing it. A mad power grab from a desperate charlatan who is CONFLATING HIS WORK with LITERALLY GOD and imposing that on the population. I'm starting think me and Candace have more in common then just wanting to fuck eachother."

Fridge Police

An entity or group of entities that try to dictate to the general populace as to what they can eat. For eg the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS for short), a modern day KKK equivalent from India seeks to impose restrictions on dietary choices. You can't eat beef or meat. Can't drink etc.
The Fridge Police influenced lawmakers in the Indian state of Gujarat to outlaw all non-vegetarian food.

Instant Gratification Policing

When law enforcement officers unreasonably require that their commands be followed immediately and without hesitation. Almost all police abuse and killings stem from this inability to be patient, deescalate, and just listen to people first.
Instant Gratification Policing can happen when police say: "Turn around!" or "Put your hands behind your back!" or "Get on your knees!"
