Digital Charlatan

The snake oil salesmen reborn into the digital age!

Eloquent and charming, the digital charlatan is a fraud who make exaggerated claims on technology using the latest tech buzzwords and predictions. In reality, they deliver nothing tangible and of value.
"shouldn't have wasted time on that digital charlatan and his 90 buzzwords-per-minute speech."

M. Night Charlatan

A director best known for one great movie and a series of crappy ones who, for some unknown reason, keeps getting big budget movies made.
Although I was hoping for another Sixth Sense, M. Night Charlatan's latest movie, just like the last, blew chunks.

chrisatanist

People who believe that they are good Christians, but are in fact propagating evil. They tend to be overt or in-your-face Christians who use terms and phrases that with minor word changes could easily be used by racists, homophobes, and hate mongers.

Lacking the judgment and education of a more sophisticated adult. They see the world in a simplistic way. Very often they take positions that when analyzed together contradict each other. Very often they turn out to be hypocritical.
On Facebook Stacy Jones posted "Stacy Jones is a Christian and proud to say it! How many people on Facebook are not afraid to show their love for God? Repost this as your status and each time you see this on someone's status, say a prayer for the person who posted it. Prayer can change so many things and help in so many ways!"

Stacy's friend Pete saw it and sent a message to his friend Tammy, "She is a Chrisatanist for posting such crap."

"What do you mean?", Tammy asked.

So Pete sent her a link to a White Supremacist site with a post that said, "David Duke is a White Supremacist and proud to say it! How many people are not afraid to show their love for the White Race? Repost this as your message and each time you see this as someone's message, say a prayer for the person who posted it. Prayer can change so many things and help White Power in so many ways!"

Social Charlatanism

Social Charlatanism, also referred as Social Quackery, Cultural Charlatanism or Cultural Quackery, is a term, often satirical and pejorative, used to refer to the idea of some new atheist and scientificist groups and communites where all non-scientific relations and things, mainly social, cultural, political, religious, esoteric, spiritual, occultistic, metaphysical, extraphysical and immaterialistic relations and things are forms of charlatanism / quackery, where only scientific and neopositivistic things are true and not forms of charlatanism and quackery. Social charlatanism also supports the concept of Charlatanism of Good or Quackery of Good, that's also a pejorative and satirical term for refer to the idea that everything that social charlatanism calls of being as forms of charlatanism might be good since they benefit both sides and even that can motivate people to live and even to have a good life and even grow in life as well.
"Social charlatanism is a really common concept among new atheist and neopositivist groups, literally all of them believe on this concept such as in the concept or charlatanism of good, but what they cannot realize is that it's not because something is not scientific that means it's false or charlatanism, such as evidence-based spirituality and spiritualicism actually say, and even that scientistic shillism shows what social charlatanism is actually about."
