A condition where what counts as “rational” depends entirely on who is speaking. The powerful’s self‑interest is called rational; the powerless’s self‑defense is called irrational. Doublerationality is the gatekeeping mechanism that defines rationality itself as the property of dominant groups, ensuring that dissent always appears unreasonable.
Doublerationality (Social Control Theory) Example: “The CEO’s bonus was ‘rational compensation’; the worker’s demand for a raise was ‘emotional entitlement.’ Doublerationality: rationality as a privilege, not a practice.”

Get the Doublerationality (Social Control Theory) mug.During online gameplay on the Xbox 360 game 'Halo' - variations of which can be researched separately - an odd phenomenon often occurs in which both yourself and your enemy kill eachother in the same instance. It is a quite unique feature of the alien-themed battle-game, and is usually both hugely frustrating and hard to explain, in equal measures.
Therefore, lo and behold, 'the doubler' was coined. This phrase makes it easy to tell one's teammate of your unfortunate end, and marvel at how clearly you meleed first.
