Peasant Brain

Leftist slang for the irrational survival belief adopted by working-class people under capitalism in which elites and oligarchs are assumed to have earned their power through superior intelligence, evolutionary advancement, or moral worth rather than inheritance, class privilege, or structural advantage.

“Peasant Brain” reframes hierarchy as destiny. It converts concentrated wealth into proof of genius, nepotism into merit, and inherited power into evidence of biological or spiritual superiority. It functions as a psychological coping mechanism: if the ruling class is simply better, then one’s own precarity is natural, not engineered.

A modern update of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s critique of “economic royalists,” the term suggests that today’s oligarchs do not rule by divine right but by the myth of meritocracy—an ideology absorbed and defended by the very people it subordinates.
“Every time he says billionaires must be billionaires because they’re just ‘wired different’ and the rest of us should be grateful for the jobs, that’s pure Peasant Brain talking.”

Console Peasant 

An uninformed, unenlightened console "gamer" who does not acknowledge the supreme power and affordability of a PC over a console. These heathens not only live in denial, claiming their consoles have hardware superior to a PC, but also shun the ever shining light of lord and savior Gaben. Gaben is love and Gaben is life. Praise his eternal soul, and let him enlighten console peasants around the world.

In the wild, console peasants can be found talking in slanderous ways of the PC and PC gamers, claiming their consoles are more powerful than a PC, and also commonly claiming the human eye can only perceive 30 FPS and not the 60 enjoyed commonly by PC gamers.

The best way to enlighten a peasant is to first tell them of the cheaper price of video games for PC, which can be found on Steam at a fraction of the price paid by console gamers. Then, proceed to tell then about building a PC, tell them of how simple the process is, and how even for the price of a console they can build a superior PC. It is important to direct them then to /r/buildapc on Reddit.

Finally, enlighten them by sending them to /r/PCMasterrace on reddit. From then on they will receive the blessings of Gaben and become a member of the PCMasterrace.

Praise Gaben, he is love and he is life.
"I recently converted to the PCMasterrace after getting tired of hearing "I fuked ur mom" from console peasants on Xbox Live."

"Go forth and enlighten thy console peasants with the holy light of Gaben"

"The only good peasant is a converted peasant."
