kafka trap

A logical fallacy which states that a condition is affirmed through someone's denial. This term was written about in Franz Kafka's story "The Trial", hence why it is named after him.

Commonly associated with the social justice warrior or noted racist Ibram Kendi, who states that anyone who claims they are not a racist must be a racist. However, the denial can be about anything.
"Your denial of racism is proof that you are racist."
"That's a kafka trap, learn how to think."

Kakapo

The Kakapo, a large, nocturnal, flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand which is both tree & ground dwelling. It is in decline & is in great danger of going extinct within the next few decades due to the introduction of unnatural predators into their habitat, such as mustelids (stoats, weasels, ferrets) & cats. Conservationists are trying to protect this amazing & now rare species by dedicating whole islands to the quarantine of the bird. The only island where it can now be found in the wild is Codfish Island, & the species is now classed as critically endangered due to the fact that there are only 126 known living individuals...

Kafka's Anxiety

The anxiety that Kafka himself, and many of his charachters experience on account of living as if dependant on others, especially one's parents, although this unnecessary situation is obviously a source of unhappiness.
More specific than anxiety, and little to do with the idea of something being Kafkaesque.
Gregor Samsa in the Metamorphosis, is an example of one experiencing Kafka's Anxiety. Gregor takes abuse from his family despite providing for them, and makes no defence for himself although it does cause him displeasure. His ambivalence is seeing no reason to try to be happier or alter his situation, but he understands how it might be better.

An antonym would be Meursault in Camus' The Stranger, whose social ambivalence prevents him experiencing a closeness to other people, but he has no anxiety. Any situation would be equally agreeable or disagreeable to him.
