InPol (Involuntary Politicism)

A term for people who are involuntarily forced to join a political group or adopt a political position due to political, state, government, social, economic, or cultural pressure—despite internally disagreeing with or disliking that group or position. InPols are the conscripts of the political world: they must pretend allegiance, suppress dissent, and conform publicly while privately maintaining their true views. This can happen under authoritarian regimes (where non-conformity is dangerous), in polarized societies (where neutrality is impossible), in families (where deviation means exile), or in workplaces (where politics affects employment). InPol is the condition of those who wear political masks to survive, their true selves hidden, their real views unexpressed.

InPol (Involuntary Politicism) Example: "He worked in an industry where progressive politics were mandatory—not officially, but socially. To keep his job, he had to affirm views he didn't hold, support causes he doubted, join movements he questioned. He was InPol: involuntarily political, forced to perform allegiance while privately dissenting. At home, he was himself; at work, he was a character. The mask protected him but cost him daily."

Red Eagle Politics

A Trump sycophant prominent in Election Twitter. He is consistently wrong and is ridiculed by both ConET and the libs. Has a thinning layer of public hair on his head and the appearance of a cross between a pale Vietnamese grandma and an incel.

Did you see what Red Eagle Politics said about that election? He had a completely wrong prediction!

This kinda links to politics

A lazy ragebait method when they have absolutely nothing meaningful to offer; just a loud, attention seeking attempt to stay relevant.

Andon: Hey man...my dog just died...I just need someone to comfort me rn.
Dongmin Shin: If you think about it this kinda links to politics ngl

Hard Problem of Politics

The problem of collective decision-making under irreconcilable pluralism. Politics aims to organize societies where people have fundamentally different values, beliefs, and desires. The hard problem is that no system can fairly aggregate these preferences without violating some core principle (like majority rule trampling minority rights, or consensus leading to paralysis). Every political theory—democracy, liberalism, socialism—has a fatal flaw when implemented in a world of real, diverse humans. The search for a perfectly just and stable system may be logically impossible, condemning us to a perpetual, messy negotiation between order and freedom, equality and excellence.

Example: A community must decide: Build a hospital or a school? The sick and elderly prefer the hospital; families with kids prefer the school. A vote creates a winner and a resentful loser. Compromise (a smaller version of each) may satisfy no one fully. The hard problem: There is no "correct" answer discoverable by reason or science. Any decision will impose someone's values on someone else. Politics is the arena where this irreducible conflict plays out, not to be solved, but to be managed. The ideal system is a mirage; the best we can do is avoid civil war while bickering endlessly. Hard Problem of Politics.

'Why do you care?' politics

Liberal political strategy as it relates to social issues. I'm going to break this down to demonstrate that liberals are not smart in any way shape or form and that I AM smart and better than everyone.

Hym "So, 'Why do you care?' politics comes in response to conservative protestations to non-traditional behavior of lifestyles. And it looks like this:"

Trans-gender *exists*

Conservative "Booooo... My incest cult says a magic man forgives all of the bad things I knowingly do and I am immortal... So the tranny can't do that."

Liberal "Why do you care?"

Hym "And it's a stupid question. But I'll explain it to you anyway. As Matt Walsh recently said, they think that the absence of problems (-P) = doing an incest cult. So, they care because when you have problems you are going to try to reach your grubby little hands into their solipsistic sphere of subjectivity for a solution to those problems and that might require them to do something other than an incest cult. They're locked in. Or WORSE... Someone who isn't doing an incest cult would be absent of problems. -P would = both doing a incest cult and not doing an incest cult. That would violate the law of non-contradiction. BUT! What they fail to understand... Is that giving the incest cult credit for things it didn't do... Is part of the incest cult. So, back to the trans example... When it comes to hiring, treatment, and rights... They want doing a transgenderism to = (P) problems. And they are actively working to make it so. And that is the case for ALL NON-INCEST CULT VARIABLES. So we'll say they want X (Not doing an incest cult) to = P and they want Y (Doing and incest cult) to = -P and they are doing that deliberately. So, in summary, they care because it invalidates the assertion that X = -P and if X /= -P then they might have to grapple withe the fact that X = P for everyone who isn't doing X. 'Why do you care?' Politics won't ever work because they will always shift into apologetics. Which is just meaningless bloviating that doesn't address the actual issue at hand."
