A political system that balances capitalism with a strong commitment to social justice and welfare. It aims to regulate the market economy to prevent exploitation, reduce inequality, and guarantee fundamental rights like universal healthcare, education, and workers' protections. It believes democracy isn't just about voting but also about ensuring everyone has the real means to participate in society. Social Democracy tries to create a fairer society without dismantling capitalism entirely, promoting gradual reform over revolution.

Get the Social Democracy mug.(Civilian) Social Commandeering (AKA Social Hijacking)
A phenomenon where individuals, under the guise of social righteousness, attempt to seize control of someone's work, career, or reputation. These groups believe their moral or social agendas should take precedence and use social pressure to enforce this belief. On the internet, they often target artists, podcasters, or other creators, demanding that they endorse specific agendas or censor certain content. This practice forces creators to speak with a voice other than their own, undermining their original goals and leading to severe repercussions, such as public shaming or career damage, if resisted. This can be seen as a form of reverse 'Virtue Signaling,' where the pressure to conform is imposed externally rather than expressed personally.
