deletist

a person who seeks out avenues of anarchic lawlessness in musical and artistic expression because it is the only time they feel truly free (esp. those in a lower socioeconomic class) but is constantly encountering opposition from others within the creative community for not abiding by certain outdated puritanical principles.

this inherently absurd social contradiction causes the person to delete regularly all previously held assumptions & resentments, all futile attempts to feel security, all associations to false petty friends who undermined the person's outlet for expression, and all formerly trusted companions whose attempts to control, manipulate, harm or impregnate you have been exposed.
"constantly, and with a repeated sense of compassion and forgiveness, i am a deletist; overcoming any fear of letting go, thereby erasing all judgements and projections put upon me by others or by myself and possibly avoiding breast cancer."

high road defeatism

When left wing politicians lose to the dirty tactics of right wing politicians because they feel that their personal integrity is more important than protecting their constituents.

Alternatively, those left wing politicians who have embraced the fact that keeping their position (and income via corporate paychecks and inside trading) only requires maintaining the appearance of high road morality, which is easy enough to do by acting stupid and pretending not to notice when their supposed political opponents act in bad faith.
American People: The Republican Party has been subsumed by foreign money and fascist elements. They've now taken over the major branches of government in a way that the checks and balances system no longer works, enacting policies that represent a shrinking minority of the populace. At the same time, they push fake conspiracies and promote false reality constructivism to fabricate invisible enemies to justify their bullshit. Why do you keep pretending like they aren't acting in bad faith?

Democrats: When they go low, we go high.

*Democrats proceed to seize the high ground while Republicans proceed to seize the Supreme Court*

Anyone with a brain: High road defeatism is not a winning strategy.

Deletist

A person who deletes their own, usually opinionated, Facebook posts, so that they can fix inaccuracies, spelling and grammatical errors, etc. within them, and then reposts them, so that he or she will appear to be more intelligent or enlightened than everyone else. This used to be known as "editing".
