Modern Major General

A song that debuted in an opera called The Pirates of Penzance. It entered popular culture in recent decades following its adaptation in VeggieTales. Nowadays, it's commonly parodied in various memes

"I'm very good with integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalcules;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern major general!"
(In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
he is the very model of a modern major general!)

Modern Slavery Rationalization

The use of legalistic loopholes, cultural relativism, or economic arguments to defend exploitative labor practices (prison labor, debt bondage, abusive migrant worker contracts). It claims these systems are "voluntary" contracts, "cultural norms," or necessary for competitiveness, sanitizing coercion with the language of choice and law.

Example: Defending a corporation's use of prison labor by saying, "It teaches skills and reduces recidivism," while ignoring the perverse incentive to incarcerate and the sub-poverty wages. The modern slavery rationalization rebrands forced, uncompensated labor as rehabilitation and a bargain for taxpayers.

Modern Paint

Modern Paint: A fresh update applied to an existing product—whether it’s a design, label, or branding—giving it a new identity while repurposing the old concept.

Example: The FIFA video game series, which each year just adds a new date, minor tweaks, yet it’s essentially the same game.

Lee: Bruv, I can't wait for GTA 6, it's going to be sick!

Frank: Bruv, it's just the same old game, LOL. They just added a bit of modern paint.

Lee: LOL.

Frank: LOL.

Mobergerism

A term derived from the works of Victor Moberger (particularly "Pseudoscience, Pseudoscience, and Bullshit" and "Truth about Objective Truths") describing a specific form of Objectivity Bias and Objective Hyperrealism where disagreement is managed through taxonomic dismissal rather than substantive engagement. The Mobergerite doesn't simply disagree with positions they find problematic—they categorize them as "pseudoscience," "pseudophilosophy," "bullshit," or related terms, thereby placing them outside the bounds of legitimate discourse without needing to address their actual content. It's a rhetorical strategy that uses the language of objectivity and scientific rigor to police the boundaries of acceptable thought while exempting itself from similar scrutiny. The Mobergerite occupies the position of the gatekeeper, armed with taxonomic categories that function as weapons rather than analytical tools.

Example: "He didn't engage with a single argument in the paper—he just declared it 'pseudophilosophy' and moved on. Classic Mobergerism: winning the debate by declaring the opponent wasn't really playing."
