Social Context Rube

Someone who fails to grasp how the larger overstructure in one's country is designed to reduce his ability to choose freely and explore the realm of possibility, or someone is totally subject and ignorant to what arguments belie the things being said in conversation.
Johnathan seriously thinks he's going to pick his next place to live from a map, after his city's economy has cycled downward due to policy changes. Even moreso, he has no clue what everybody is really doing for money and the utilities for the next two years. Johnathan is an example of a social context rube.

Example II:

John often finds nothing to think about when he enters the dog park because he finds people throwing random words at each other, and looking off into seemingly nowhere. In response, he just sort of sits there and when he talks, he makes footnotes about what people say, while failing to see the assumptions and arguments being put forth. As a consequence, he takes every assumption thrown at him, being ping-ponged back and forth.

It depends on the context

A reference to the 2023 congressional hearing on campus antisemitism. Specifically when asked "Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's policies?" Harvard's former president Claudine Gay replied: "It depends on the context."
I know they said "all Jews should die" but that might not be antisemitic, it depends on the context.

Context

"You could take it out of context and make either point!" Is that what you think you're doing?
Hym "Because I didn't take you out of context at all. I don't have to constantly conflate the literal and the metaphorical just so I can avoid addressing the fundamental truth claims of the bible. And in regards to you using my work, the true part of my work is the conclusions I draw. Andy outlines what you're doing perfectly. I'm saying 2+2=4. You're saying 2+2=5. The creator of the universe either spoke to humans... Or it didn't. If it didn't.... The religion is a lie. You don't need unearned authority... You needed... To kill yourself. That's what YOU need to do. Burn all the books. Just into the fire. Burn there forever."

Context-sensitive

1. Adj. Used to describe words that have multiple meanings in which said meanings are typically used in drastically different contexts, sometimes resulting in said words becoming offensive when taken out of context.

2. Adj. Describes video game controls in which pressing a button in a certain situation(or context, hence the name) causes something to happen which usually progresses the game in some manner.
Ex 1: The word "raped" is very context-sensitive, as it it can mean the horrendous act of sexual humiliation, or when someone is utterly destroyed in a game or competition.

Ex 2: "Conker's Bad Fur Day" has so many context-sensitive controls, that there's even an NPC in the beginning that explains the concept to the player.
