Statemen

Statemen signifies a strong sense of community. A group of people who stand for the truth with their fashion.

Formal-Street-Statement-wear. That is who we
are. Designed by Doku, founded by ill decisions.

I'm thinking of buying the new statemen hoodie

Statue of Libiddy

Da disparaging term dat da freedom-and-equal-rights-opposing Osama bin Laden might have referred to sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's greatest creation.

If Homer Simpson actually did eventually write back to his "old pen pal", he might not want to use a patriotic postage stamp for mailing da envelope to dat particular Arab male-dominance fanatic, since said prejudiced towel-head might not even wanna open a letter with a picture of da "Statue of Libiddy" affixed to it!

Statie

A slang term for a member of a state defense force (SDF). Often used endearingly by SDF members, and derogatorily by national guard (NG) members.

Civilian: "So I heard you're in the national guard?"

SDF Member: "No, I'm a statie."

NG Member: "Ha, stupid statie."

State Cognition

The operational mentality of the bureaucratic-governmental apparatus. It prioritizes procedural regularity, precedent, risk aversion, compartmentalization, and the maintenance of institutional power and continuity. State cognition is slow, deliberative, and often inflexible, as it is designed for stability, not innovation or rapid response. It's why governments often seem to "think" differently than businesses or activist groups.

Example: During a fast-moving technological disruption (like the rise of ride-sharing apps), State Cognition is on full display. Regulatory agencies first try to fit the new technology into old categories ("Is it a taxi service?"), launch multi-year studies, and prioritize protecting incumbent industries and existing regulations over adapting to new models.

State Bias

The tendency to believe that solutions to social problems must come from, or be channeled through, the formal institutions of the state (government, legislation, public agencies). This bias underestimates the capacity of civil society, mutual aid, local communities, or market innovations (for good or ill), and can lead to centralization and dependency. It's the instinct to say "there ought to be a law" for every issue.

Example: Facing a rise in homelessness, a public conversation dominated by State Bias focuses solely on federal housing policy and municipal shelter funding, while ignoring or marginalizing effective grassroots initiatives like community land trusts or religious shelter networks that operate with different models.
