Absolutism 

Absolutism is a rare place of congruence
In truth. It imparts divination a feeling of finding a truth as if with God.

Martin Luther King clearly had a spiritual connection with God

Truth no matter how temporarily defeated always prevails in reality.

That is the bridge to an anthem that plays the chords of absolutism.

Some truths are self evident.
Absolutely

Ideological Absolutism 

A quality of human behavior which causes us to take absolute stances on ideas and then to define ourselves based on these stances. A major cause for division and conflict amongst humanity.

If it weren't for ideological absolutism we would have so much unity amongst humanity.

moral absolutism 

The opposite of moral relativism, moral absolutism refers to belief in absolute moral grounded in God. Note that moral absolutism is both absolute and not absolute. As the magisterium of the Catholic church discerns more of God's truth and we understand His will better, they adapt their absolute definition of morals to reflect the newfound truth. However, this truth has been there all along and we were just doing it the wrong way previously, so it is the absolute truth (I think, but I'm not sure. Too much Catholic politics).

The Catholic church claims to have always followed a principle of moral absolutism. In the middle ages, it was discerned that indulgences were OKAY. After Martin Luther did the East–West Schism, the Catholic church found itself with less power and affluence due to its reduced size, so it went back to the Bible and reinterpreted it to mean that indulgences are NOT OKAY.

bio-absolutism

Proffers that society is a dialectic between people with high levels of sex hormones and people with low levels of sex hormones.

Anathematic to historical materialism which posits that society is a conflict between high-capital people and low-capital people.

Bio-absolutism is the rhizomatic (Guattarian) counterpart to Marx's dialecticical materialism.

Theory of Constructed Absolutism

The insight that claims of absolute, unchanging truth (divine command, totalitarian ideology, scientific certainty) are not the antithesis of construction, but its most aggressive form. Absolutism is built by rigorously eliminating contradictions, declaring its foundations sacred or beyond question, and constructing entire social systems—laws, education, punishments—to reinforce the illusion that its truth is eternal, natural, and not a human-made edifice. It's construction that denies its own constructed nature.

Example: "The dictator's cult wasn't just belief; it was the Theory of Constructed Absolutism in action. His every word became 'The Eternal Truth.' History was rewritten, art was purged, and critics vanished to construct a reality where his rule was as absolute and unquestionable as gravity. The 'absoluteness' was a terrifyingly elaborate social production, maintained by fear and spectacle, not a fact of the universe."

Status-Quo Absolutism

A toxic defensive reflex used by elites, institutional bootlickers, and comfortably privileged people to protect the current power structure by declaring all alternatives to be literal madness.
Under Status-Quo Absolutism, the current status quo is completely flawless, and any suffering it causes is the fault of the individual, never the system. It functions as a harsh silencing tool: if you question the economy, the culture, or the government, you are immediately slapped with labels meant to strip away your credibility. You aren't a reformer; you're "mentally unstable," a "conspiracy theorist," a "basement dweller," or a "delusional weed smoker."
It is the political equivalent of saying "The beatings will continue until morale improves, and if you complain about the beatings, you clearly have a psychiatric disorder."

Professor Vaughn: "The students are protesting the predatory tuition hikes and housing exploitation. They have legitimate economic data showing it's unsustainable."
Dean Rivers: "Oh, don't mind them. It's just a bunch of chronically online, basement-dwelling hippies who smoke too much weed and want handouts because they can't handle the real world."
Professor Vaughn: "That's pure Status-Quo Absolutism, Dean. You are literally dehumanizing and dismissing an entire generation's financial ruin just to protect your endowment."

Status-Quo Absolutism

The ultimate rhetorical, cognitive, and political delusion where a person genuinely believes that the current state of society is the only objective reality that can possibly exist. To a Status-Quo Absolutist, the system isn't just a system—it is a law of physics. Therefore, anything outside of it, or any attempt to change it, is fundamentally impossible, unnatural, or insane.
This mechanism is heavily weaponized to pathologize political dissidence, silence valid criticism, and dehumanize marginalized groups who are actively being crushed by the current system. Instead of debating the actual critique, the absolutist bypasses logic entirely by framing the critic as broken, detached from reality, or intellectually deficient.
If you point out a structural flaw in the system, you aren't "making a valid point"—you are just a broken gear that needs to be discarded or re-educated.

Alex: "Hey, maybe tying healthcare strictly to 40-hour-a-week corporate employment is causing a massive mental health crisis and ruining millions of lives?"
Todd: "Bro, that’s just how the world works. Get real. If you can't survive in the system, you clearly just need therapy, a better work ethic, or to stop smoking so much weed."
Alex: "Wow, standard Status-Quo Absolutism. Instead of addressing the systemic failure, you're just pathologizing my critique so you don't have to think about it."
