social sanction

Sanction refers to either a penalty or a punishment so when you put the word "social" in front of it, it refers to a group or organization that has norms and boundaries and you either get punished from crossing the norms and boundaries, but can also be rewarded for staying and complying with the norm. The reward is also a factor of social sanctioning.

Umbrella Socialism

Umbrella socialism - It is a common illusion that umbrellas are not exclusively personal belongings but socially-owned items that should be shared by anyone else, not just by the supposed owners, contributing to radically reducing a sense of guilt that using others' without any permission is a clear case of theft.

"I steal theirs, as they steal mine. That's Umbrella Socialism".
