Social Luddism

Social Luddism, also SocLuddism or SocLudd, rejects mass media and anything related to it, and believes that the mass media and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. It seeks to reduce the impacts of mass media, internet, videogames and so on in human lives believing or media should show positive things about the world more than it does with negative things, or it should be reduced until return into the times mass media weren't so harmful to people. Some variants of social luddism advocate that mass media should show show more positive things about the world and encourage people to see the positive side of life and existence, while others advocate that mass media should be reduced until it returns to the times mass media weren't so harmful to people while some few others advocate that mass media should be abolished and no longer exist. Social Luddism is often characterized by the uses of terms such as "pacification" (make mass media more pacific and positive), "positivization" (make media show more positive things than negative things), "deviolentization" (reduce violence on mass media) and "depornographization" / "depornization" (reduce pornography and porn on mass media).
"John is a socluddite, he supports social luddism and he believes that violence and porn should be reduced on mass media by gradually replacing them by positive content and content that would make humans become closer to become a species of highly evolved beings."

"It's really hard to realize when social luddism actually started, there are a lot of examples of social luddites since 1950's-1960's, and nowadyas, in the 2020's, social luddism might become a major power if people manage to turn it into reality."

Social Altruism

Social Altruism
ˈsō-shəl ˈal-trü-ˌi-zəm
(noun)
1. A badass ideology born in the streets of Wallace Emerson, Toronto, that says society should be run by people who actually give a damn—but not in the soft, fake-smile way.
2. The belief that only those who serve, sacrifice, and build deserve a say; that true citizenship is earned, not handed out like participation trophies.
3. A middle finger to both greedy capitalists and virtue-signaling liberals. Think Spartan discipline meets working-class solidarity—with just enough fire to light a revolution.
