"Please excuse me. I didn't realise you were an eight foot tall fairy elf princess because I wasn't practicing the proper social distancing."

Socialism

When you can't do something yourself because the system wasn't designed for independence and you either have to talk to someone or more people aligned on the solution or ignore the problem and hope it goes away.
Socialism is when I couldn't answer all the test answers correctly without speaking to the lecturer.
Socialism is when I couldn't run the build my programming application without speaking to the lead developer
Socialism is when I couldn't renew my vehicle license without going to the licensing authority

Socialism is when I couldn't renew my passport without going to an agency or home affairs.

Social Stoning

An updated version of the medieval practice of publicly throwing stones at people in town squares. Using Social Media to chastise, insult, and punish for alleged acts, comments, or political affiliations that don’t align with the Social Media user.
Social Stoning occurs when frustrated with ones political position, then socially stoned the individual on twitter and facebook to taunt then for not having similar views.

Social Context Rube

Someone who fails to grasp how the larger overstructure in one's country is designed to reduce his ability to choose freely and explore the realm of possibility, or someone is totally subject and ignorant to what arguments belie the things being said in conversation.
Johnathan seriously thinks he's going to pick his next place to live from a map, after his city's economy has cycled downward due to policy changes. Even moreso, he has no clue what everybody is really doing for money and the utilities for the next two years. Johnathan is an example of a social context rube.

Example II:

John often finds nothing to think about when he enters the dog park because he finds people throwing random words at each other, and looking off into seemingly nowhere. In response, he just sort of sits there and when he talks, he makes footnotes about what people say, while failing to see the assumptions and arguments being put forth. As a consequence, he takes every assumption thrown at him, being ping-ponged back and forth.
