1. (n.) - One who outlaws things that need not be outlawed (e.g., the word "crap", music, movies), and allows things that should be forbidden (e.g., horrendous theology, heresies, blasphemies, sin). A term that usually applies to many in the Christian community. (See fundamentalist.) It should be noted, however, that not all Christians are like this, and that the Bible does not support such behavior.

In a democratic federation of states, such as that in Germany or the United States, states are granted a substantial degree of autonomy in exchange for subservience to the federal government.
Though not necessarily federal as far as its constitution goes, Spain has ceded much autonomy to several regions of the Iberian Peninsula, such as that of Catalonia, Galicia, and Euskadi, due to linguistic and cultural disparities with that of mainstream Castilian culture.

Get the Autonomy mug.Related Words
A political current which first emerged in Italy (autonomia) and Germany (autonomen) in the 1960s and 1970s. It is a radicalised version of Marxism in which class struggle rather than structure is placed at the centre of analysis and in which the proletariat is conceived as the driving force in history. Politically, autonomists insist on the importance of class autonomy and of strategies of resistance which undermine the existing incorporation of the working class and which force the emergence of new configurations of forces.
Associated especially with the work of the Italian philosopher Antonio Negri, whose texts, prior to his recent co-authored book Empire, were major expositions of the autonomist perspective.
Although analytically attached to a strongly worker-centric version of Marxism, autonomists were active in favouring the development of diverse subcultural spaces, including squatted social centres, "autoreduction" of train and bus fares (political fare-dodging), subvertising, pirate radio (e.g. radio alice) and the political demands of the emarginati (the "marginalised" or socially excluded) and "precari" (precariously positioned workers).
The main representative of this tendency in Britain today is the journal Aufheben. Autonomist tendencies also exist in most other countries.
Readers should note that autonomism is NOT the same thing as autonomous anarchism.

Get the 106th Filipinos Autonomous mug.It’s a mental health awareness term for people who encourage others to recover while also giving them space to choose not to — and offering support through it instead of eradicating their human rights. The focus shifts from isolating, stigmatizing and shaming individuals for their self-destructive behavior to harm reduction through acceptance.
Someone who uses that label instead of the old “pro-recovery” one recognizes all people deserve to recover, while also admitting that forcing them into it could have massive repercussions on their psyche (specially given the state of the current mental healthcare system, as it doesn’t have that many resources and forced recovery on its own is not only traumatic but also moralizes poor mental health as immoral and reinforces systemic ableism).
It’s about allowing people to feel their own feelings without immediately pushing them to do better — because a lot of the times, that’s the best they can do.
Getting better is a choice. Not a requirement.
TL;DR Movement that defends the idea that people deserve human rights despite wanting to recover or not as well as the autonomy to choose between the two.
