An informal, citizen-led term used by some organizers to describe a voluntary movement advocating for direct democracy in the United States, particularly referencing the 23 states with active ballot initiative or referendum processes; inspired by the historic Continental Congress and used symbolically to encourage broader civic participation. Not an official government body and holds no legal or legislative authority.
During the historic 250th anniversary of the United States, 23 states allow direct democracy through citizen-initiated ballot measures, and some scholars and activists may refer to this coalition as a modern ‘Third Continental Congress’—a symbolic term for a citizen-led movement calling on other states to join.

Get the ICBM: Inter-Continental Bowel Movement mug.The application of Critical Theory to the continental tradition in philosophy—examining its assumptions, its methods, its relationship to power, and its potential for liberation. Critical Theory of Continental Philosophy asks: How has continental philosophy engaged with history, politics, and power? How has it been shaped by its European context? What are its blind spots? How might it be transformed by dialogue with other traditions? It doesn't celebrate uncritically but insists that continental philosophy's strengths—its attention to history, power, and embodiment—must be combined with self-critique and openness to other voices.
"Continental philosophy is just obscurantism, they say. Critical Theory of Continental Philosophy asks: obscurantist by whose standards? The tradition engages questions analytic philosophy ignores—power, history, embodiment. That doesn't make it wrong; it makes it different. Critical theory insists on asking: what can we learn from this tradition, and what are its own blind spots?"

Hym "Wouldn't I be a Post-Mortem, Contingent Nihilist? I mean, I've been pretty explicit. And I've infected Jordan Peterson with it. Now he's haunted by the idea that no matter what he does, immediately after his death his kids will have terrible misfortune. At the moment of his death he can assume that the rest of time will occur. His loved ones effectively die with him. And now, in his insane desperation, he's trying to collude with the government to make earth hell for 'the wrong type of person' to poison the well with his own rotting corpse."
