Meta-ethics is the branch of ethics that seeks to understand the nature of ethical properties, statements, attitudes, and judgments. Meta-ethics is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers, the others being normative ethics and applied ethics.
There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:
1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.

A term believed to have been coined by an unknown official of the Kulturpoliti during the Kattegat Channel Conflict.
It is used to refer to the campaigns of total civil mind-control which replaced traditional military warfare in the late 21. century.
Meta-war and its invasive nature, which usually leaves the losing side as a drone-state, has largely been responsible for the decline of worldwide hostilities in recent years, with a Balance of Terror keeping warring factions at bay.

Transcendental fascism. Ideological fascism interpreted with metaphysical ramifications. Esoteric interpretation of authoritarian ideology, for instance the National Socialist obsession with Hinduism or Julius Evola's esoteric mysticism. Seeks a self-referential synthesis between occidental aesthetics and oriental philosophy.
The meta-right de-emphasizes National Socialism's rejection of monotheism in favor of a Hinduistic duality in which Christianity and Nietszche's nihilism share a self-referential relationship.
In aesthetic terms, a synthesis of neotraditionalism and retrofuturism.
The metamodern right.

Although the German National Socialists admired Hinduism, Julius Evola can be considered the founder of the meta-right.

An argument about an argument, the decision to argue, or about the fact another argument was had.
normally occurs as a gaslighting technique where one person starts an argument with an opinion or a hot take, then gets upset when someone responds to their opinion with their own opinion and blames fact and argument started entirely on one party, making their opposition appear more hostile and argumentative then they actually are.
