Social Democracy

ˈsō-shəl ˌdeməˈkrasē

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.

You're a threat to everyone tho.
Journalist: Are you a Communist?

Olof Palme: No, I am a Social Democrat.

Journalist: Are you a Socialist?

Olof Palme: Again, I am a Social Democrat.

Journalist: Soo, a Capitalist?

Olof Palme: Dumbass, I am apart of Social Democracy, I am in a Social Democratic party, and that means I am a Social Democrat.

Cyber Social Anxiety

Cyber Social Anxiety is a condition that someone has when they have a fear of socialising with others online possibly due to past experiences getting cyber bullied, doxxed, or even no reason at all.

Typically, those people may have little to no online presence, including no social media and may request not to have their pictures taken in case it shows up online where they would get made fun of.
“Why don’t you have an Instagram?”

“Because I have Cyber Social Anxiety.”

“What’s that?”

“Same thing with Social Anxiety but online.”

socialism

when the government taxes businesses and corporations to make sure they wont build factories to create jobs. where the government trains and pays people to murder your opposition.
where the government steals all the money from doctors, and inventors, businessman, and rich people to pay poor people not to go to work, or to work jobs that don't actually do anything. when the government pays people to make 5% of the population perpetually poor.
the socialist matrix is to overeducate the middle class, overtax the rich, and to prevent the poor from going to school, or having enough money to actually afford to be employed.
this government is based on the idea of converting to communism - to force doctors to stay, to force doctors to work, and to make everyone poor thus ensuring the only reason people go to work, is so they don't end up in jail.
Canada is a capitalist society, the government pretend's its based on socialism, the idea that if you force people to be poor, you can increase education, and immigration!

Anti-Social Line

A group of friends walking in a horizontal line formation. One of these can easily cover the width of a hallway with very few people, and can cause extreme frustration to the masses when they move at a slow pace.
Sorry I am late, there was an anti-social line blocking the main hallway, then by the time I reached the exit I needed the toilet again.
