A person or ideology that espouses that group identity is the most important thing about a person, and that justice and power must be viewed primarily on the basis of group identity rather than individual merit.
Critical Race Theory is an identitarian world view that maintains group identity is what determines success and potential, and therefore that group identity must be used to ensure justice.

Get the identitarian mug.A dubious diagnosis associated with the recovered memory movement in psychology. DID is a pattern of behavior characterized by the learned enactment of different identities, usually including psychologically wounded "inner children." These are claimed to have resulted from repressed childhood involvement in satanic ritual abuse, child porn rings, mind control experiments, or similar extremely severe abuse. The creation of personalities occurs hand-in-hand with the formation of the abuse narrative in the vast majority of cases.
The process of memory/personality creation usually involves the suggestion of a sympathetic and charismatic therapist, but it can also occur within groups of "survivors" on the internet or in self-help groups. The process is likened to a cult, since participants often cut off contact with former friends and relatives who question the bizarre direction of therapy and instead form bonds with other recovered memory "survivors."

Motives for embracing Dissociative Identity Disorder may include the following:
1. Suggestion by an authority figure that recovering abuse memories will lead to healing.
2. Sympathy/attention associated with the victim role (There is high overlap with dramatic/historionic/borderline personality disorders).
3. Involvement in a complex and interesting project, as the client creates personalities to reflect different aspects of her fantasies.
4. Absolution of responsibility for one's problems implied by the victim role.
5. Sexual fetishes or fantasies that would otherwise feel unacceptable can be enacted and attributed to the "memories" of abuse. In fact, studies show that there is a high representation of DID in online groups for ageplay and domination/submission games.

Get the iden mug.The most self-incriminating thing a suspect can say to a law enforcement official.
A suspect who has a substantial amount of evidence linking him/her to a crime will act completely oblivious to the matter.
Saying such a phrase will destroy a suspect's credibility since he/she is being non-cooperative and is obviously lying.

Officer: We've got your DNA on the dead body, your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, and we have three credible eye-witnesses saying they saw you pull the trigger!
Suspect: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Officer: Thanks, that's all I needed to hear.

Get the I have no idea what you're talking about mug.One who believes that life should be lived as they like. Many hippies and hermits were idealistic, only this is only a portion. Morals may interfere with total idealism, especially if certain things were instilled in one as a child as being "bad". This results in guilt for doing "wrong" things, although some are able to overcome this and live their life to the fullest they think is possible.
Screw my condescending parents and their morals, I'm idealistic and don't want to be a mindless, robotic fool that conforms to every new trend!

Get the idealistic mug.Amazing, miraculous human beings. They come from the splitting of a fertilised egg, and look exactly the same. They have the same DNA, so one could commit a crime and frame the other one. (Although this never happens because identical twins are loving, friendly, law-abiding people).
Do not confuse with Non-Twins.
