Periodic Collective

A secret word which people who have never felt the loving touch of a woman use to identify and communicate with each other. It means they have no rizz.
"Yo, Sally just said she's part of the periodic collective"
"Oh, that's obvious. She literally said she had a crush on Nick Wilde from zootopia a while back."

Collective Crewsader

Common code for white supremacist groups to describe themselves and identify each other, without being detected.
We are the collective crewsaders, but we hide in the shadows until the time for affirmative action.

Pet Collecting

(The Real Life Equivalent to Pokemon Catching)

Essencially Bug/Reptile Catching but with Mammals

Basically you use Cages/Crates to Catch Mammals and Guns with Nets to Catch Birds

Then you Keep Them as a Pet Until they Die Where you Make a Taxidermy Out of Them for Display (Just like with Insects)

Some People May Also Use These Exotic Pets For Protection or to Fight With (Just like a Pokemon) While Most Just use the Pet as a Mythical Companion

This Practice of Pet Collecting However is Very Illegal in Most Countries

(More So than Getting an Exotic Pet Through the Black Market or a Farm)
So Proceed with Caution
Kid 1: Hey Look at What i Found

Kid 2: What is It

Kid 1: its a A Raccoon I Found While Pet Collecting

Kid 2: ill Give it a Treat if my Squirrel Can Handle Fighting it

Kid 1 OK Bring it On!

Collection basket

Money to keep the well oiled machine going, functioning.
Anything dysfunctional is no good for the machine, it's designed to have interchangeable, functional parts that keep it running (as a collective). No individuals, nobody different from the next person. It takes lots of money, so there's always a collection basket to keep it going.

Collective Devaluation Paradox

A social phenomenon arising in the context of neoliberalism, a specific form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In this setting, individual gains, particularly those spurred by the moralization and normalization of commodified emotional labor, lead to collective losses. These losses manifest in forms such as systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, and perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuits and collective well-being, exacerbated as governments and societal structures exploit surplus emotional labor, further normalizing its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health and well-being.
A: you see that video of the nurse bike incident?

B: A Collective Devaluation Paradox.

A: wa?

B: A social phenomenon w/ often occurs in neoliberalism, a form of capitalism that not only encourages commodification but also promotes the moralization of that commodification. In situations like this, individual gains can lead to collective losses.

A: losses?

B: They manifest in various way, eg. systemic exploitation, increased mental health burdens, & perpetuated social inequalities. The paradox emerges from the mismatch between individual pursuit & collective well-being.

A: I see. So perhaps, in a world where emotional labor hadn't become moralized to become commodified, the men might have recognized the woman's situation - her role as a nurse, her apparent exhaustion & consider letting her take the bike as an act of kindness or empathy. But in our current society, where interpersonal interactions are often viewed through a capitalist lens, there's no societal expectation for them to do so. The moral obligation to consider the emotional state of others is diminished in the face of individual rights & possessions.

B: it doesn't stop there. Societal structures often exploit surplus emotional labor, which further normalizes its commodification. This exploitation, embedded in the dynamics of neoliberalism, contributes to the devaluation of collective emotional health & well-being. So, while everyone seeks individual gain, we have broader societal loss.
