Social experiment

Replacing an old building or something people loved about a place, something that didn't actually need a replacement, by convincing people it needed to be replaced because it was outdated is a form of a social experiment. A way to get a group of people to tolerate something they wouldn't otherwise tolerate, something they would resist.
People are always trying to make changes via a social experiment. Change is not always what's best for everyone, and a lot of the time, things end up getting worse before they get worse (and not worse before they get better) when somebody took something that was once good and turned it to bullshit.

Social Media Coward

An extremely weak and insecure individual that blocks someone they have an issue with on social media and then proceeds to use that same social media platform to post negative status updates or emotional rants directed at the person(s) they blocked. The social media coward engages in these acts on the assumption that the person(s) they are referencing and taking "shots" at likely will not see posts nor be able to respond.

Jack was dumped by Jill at Starbucks this morning. Afterwards, Jack went home, cried, and posted several status updates on Facebook directed at Jill explaining why he had to break up with her. Being the social media coward that he is, Jack blocked Jill on Facebook so she could not respond and tell the truth, thus Jack was able to successfully play the victim.

social correction center

A government-run facility designed to "rehabilitate" or "correct" individuals who fail to conform to societal norms. These institutions are marketed as a means of protecting the greater good and maintaining social order, but they have been criticized for their potential to suppress individual freedom and human rights.

In a social correction center, individuals are subjected to strict discipline and control.

Their every action is monitored, and any deviation from the norm is met with punishment.

The goal is to mold citizens into obedient, conformist individuals who will follow the dictates of those in power.

The term "social correction center" is often used as a euphemism for more sinister facilities, such as concentration camps or forced labor camps.

The origins of the term can be traced back to the euphemisms used by authoritarian regimes to describe their prison camps and reeducation centers.

Social correction centers have been utilized by various governments throughout history, and their existence remains a controversial topic. While proponents argue that they are necessary for maintaining social order, critics contend that they represent a grave threat to individual freedom and human rights.

The controversy surrounding social correction centers raises important questions about the balance between individual freedom and social order and the potential dangers of government overreach.
