An economic type in which all necessities are provided by the government for free while luxuries must be purchased by the individual. Social puritism resembles social capitalism in some ways but the market and companies are much more regulated to ensure they cannot exploit workers or consumers. On the left-right economic spectrum, social puritism falls under center-left to left depending on the implementation whereas social capitalism is center.
Origin: Created by Zenno Shugunou due to him not being in favor of any economic types at the time. The "Social" part comes from "Socialism" and "Social Capitalism" while the "Puritism" part refers to the system resembling a version of social capitalism that has been purged of its evils.

That's what this seems to be about for you. Bill C-16 gives your students a degree of arbitrary social leverage that you weren't willing to afford them.
Hym "Hey, I really didn't use your work for a whole lot initially. I was saying back then what YOU are saying NOW because I was going though the thing that you are actively doing now. I had no recourse. I had no way of defending myself. I didn't even have the vocabulary to defend myself. The only tool I had to defend myself because I WAS (and still am) going though what you ARE going though. And I'm not allowed to use it because IT'S AGAINST THE RULES. And then I started critiquing it. And that's my REAL crime. It's like the chicken and the grasshopper. See, the chicken had a theory. And he thought his theory couldn't be contended with. Unfortunately for the chicken, there was a fatal flaw. You see, in the same way that there are two classes of fear, there are two classes of genius. And the grasshopper is both. So, like the brilliant deconstructionist that he is, the grasshopper began to contend with those uncontendwithable ideas. Jokingly at first. The chicken was enraged. His shining golden-god moment was sullied by the grasshopper.

And then the grasshopper began to posit HIS OWN IDEAS. And what's more, everyone loved it. They didn't just love it. It was objectively brilliant. Poetry and prose the likes of which the world had never seen. Comedy skits, philosophy, theology, social psychology. Literally billions of dollars worth of ideas. And not just quality but quantity as well. An untapped wellspring of new ideas. Some speculation. From conceptual arms deal to archetypal hero (and villian sometimes) over night.... and shit, I'm running out of characters.... Long story short, the grasshopper is now technically one of the greatest writer's all time and I forgot to use the words 'social leverage'. Shit. I went off half cocked here. I'll come back to it.

A person who eats carbs when hanging out with friends or to feel integrated into social situations. Social carbing means eating carbs occasionally and almost always in groups – often while drinking alcohol. Similar to social smoking, only with carbohydrates.
“I only ever eat carbs when I’m out drinking with my friends. I guess you might call it social carbing.”
