A definition of conservatism from a blog response by Frank Wilhoit: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
"Did you hear that yet another Republican politician admitted to getting his wife an abortion? But he's still opposed?" "Yeah, Wilhoit's Law. It is what it is."

Get the uncle in law nephew mug.A law invented by Marc of The Templin Institute and introduced in the video "The Idiotic Strategy That Always Works (But Shouldn't!)":
"Dumb ideas are implemented all the time often with cataclysmic results. But they're implemented in the first place because there was a legitimate expectation of a positive outcome; these ideas fall within the "Zone of Believability." However some ideas are so clearly bad and consequences so obvious that no sensible person would ever consider them; such ideas cross the threshold into the "Zone of Ridiculousness" and no explanation can ever justify such an idea's inherit preposterousness."
Essentially this law dictates that are 2 categories that a dumb idea fit under: Believable (Reasonable chance of a positive outcome) and Ridiculous (Very high chance of 1 or more bad outcomes), and that any idea that fits under the latter category should be flat-out rejected.

Executive Officer: Sir, there's so much wrong with that plan that it breaks Marc's First Law; I can't even list out every possible way that it could fail!

Its for a group of boys who believe in their own laws and act as both judge and jury for the actions of the people around them, even if they are not part of the group of boys.
Essentially a circle jerk of guys who are in their own fantasy.

Girl1: I cant stand the bunch of guys. They are just playing everything by their own rules. Its so annoying.
Girl2: I know right. They are just a group of Law Brothers.

Get the Law Brothers mug.On a left-wing social media circle, as the conversation continues, the likelihood of capitalism being blamed - regardless of the problem at hand - approaches 1. Named after Fletcher, the dude in the group chat who based his ideology off of an overrated anime.
"I was on Tumblr and this one person decided to blame capitalism for the higher male suicide rate."
"Yup, that's Fletcher's Law."
