> 1 a community of those who strive for a better and alternate reality than the corrupt one in which we currently live. These are the underground anarcho-capitalists who foment info-war in order to undermine distinct evils in the world, promulgated by wealthy, arrogant, callous elites, such as central banksters, corrupt politicians, and media-moguls.
> Subversion refers to a process aimed at transforming the established social order, its structures of power, authority, exploitation, servitude, deception, and secret hierarchy; examples of such structures include the nation, the state, secretive societies, agents of organized force (military), and agents of organized mind-control (mass-media). It is a counter-attack, overturning or uprooting of the Dominant Paradigm.
2 a subset of the universe; a local region with boundary separating it from some external forces such as impulse, stress, conduction, radiation, etc., while being influenced by other external forces so as to cause a local DECREASE in entropy, thereby causing an INCREASE of entropy in the external universe. This is made possible because entropy increases spontaneously, but decreases only by way of WORK done upon the subverse. Such work is always a combination of INFORMATION, allied with MATTER. Examples are DNA acting on chemicals to make life, and human-designed machines acting on metal, minerals, wood, plastic, etc. to create order.

Author Neal Stephenson supports subversion by creating a fictional subverse in his novels, and drawing attention to subversion directly.
A refrigerator is a subverse which cools its contents with electricity input, and heat-dispersing exchanger coils for output.

Get the Subverted mug.Subverteurism
noun
1. The practice of hollowing out a system from the inside by weaponizing its own rules, procedures, and “security” tools, while loudly insisting you are just following the law.
2. When someone keeps all the visible forms of a democracy, institution, or platform, but slowly rewires the substance so it serves them instead of its original purpose. Elections still happen, courts still sit, terms of service are still “enforced,” yet everything is quietly rigged by hyper literal compliance and rule tweaking.
3. Malicious compliance as a governing philosophy.
Usage notes:
Subverteurism is not a coup, not a hack, and not an open “screw your rules” moment. It is the slow, technically legal, norm smashing corrosion of a system by people who say “we are simply enforcing the rules” while they rewrite or reinterpret those rules so they can never lose.

Get the subverteurism mug.A double whammy subversion of expectations, in particular in regard to film and television, where the audience is led to believe that a scene will follow through with a subversion of expectations regarding theme or humor before the opposite happens. May not always work- relies on the assumption that the audience is expecting the unexpected, but not expecting the expected.
As an example, we can take the Wheel of Fortune scene with Randy Marsh in South Park. In it, he must spell out the word which means "people who annoy me". He manages to by dumb luck fill out every single other letter in the answer leaving him with N_GGERS. The expectation by the audience is that at the last second he will answer with the word "Nagger" rather than "nigger", however at the last second the build-up to the joke concludes with a subversion of the audience's subverted expectations and the joke plays out as it would normally: with Randy answering "NIGGERS!".

We were led to believe that the punchline would be changed at the last minute, but the movie did a Subversion of Subverted Expectations by continuing the joke on as normal.
