The Name is pretty descriptive already lol

but if you need to know...........

The Glocinaryputlocinary reacted to a high pressure change thanks to the gigaboltimatio (specifically the Moltozypollio part) creating a sub-trioacular mulitiloafwaxernalitiousing change in the Zoltomagnofitros Fluxiriator. This is a very dangerous event and can only be avoided by the immediate use of the nearest Plyoxinatiator which will cool down the gigaboltimatio before it becomes too radioactive and blows up all of earth, the milky way, The 99th galaxy of the orizonish belt, including the sub-0-N-triplanets in the Multicravosculor region of the 56th Trion, despite their natural defense from the Axiltoniyontian generator in their cores that deters radiation.

Phew, i can breath now!
OH NO!

There was a Extremely Radioactive GIovinaryputlocinary reaction after the Moltozypollio part of the gigaboltimatio began to melt down, therefore creating a sub-trioacular mulitiloafwaxernalitiousing change in the Zoltomagnofitros Fluxiriator that happened in the lab yesterday! Thanks goodness the Plyoxinatiator was there to cool it down

reactionary

Someone who "reacts" to change. Specifically reacts to social and cultural progress. A rejection of structure based on objective reality.

This is seen often in the far-left and is most commonly attributed to elements of it that reject social progress (ironically calling their rejection of progress as progress) and prefer a return to no formal social structure or culture, similar to primitivism. Ironically, as typical in leftist circles, the left tries to take such words and weaponize them against their enemies by giving them the opposite meaning. Similar to "fair-share" to the leftist meaning 0% taxes for some citizens and 80% taxes for the ebil nazi working class.
Antifa, and the modern uneducated leftist, is reactionary to the progress of Western society, and wished to return to a form of communal unstructured society often found in chimpanzee society.
