Concilism

Concilism is a federal system of government organization in which the central government is divided into three branches: academic, legislative, and judicial. The academic branch of government accepts and trains aspiring legislators at a central political academy, graduation from which being mandatory in order become a national legislator. The legislative branch of government is bicameral. The upper "states'" council is elected by the citizenry with each state receiving representation proportional to its population. The lower "legislative" council is elected through staggered elections in the upper council, and is the only federal government body possessing legislative initiative. Proposed legislation must be approved by a simple majority vote in the upper council before being passed into law. State governments also have a veto over proposed legislation, requiring a supermajority vote in which each state possesses one vote. The judicial branch remains separate from the other branches, adheres to the rule of law, and exercises judicial review. The entire Concilist system operates under a national constitution which grants inalienable civil rights to all citizens, abolishes partisan politics, ensures the separation of church and state, and vastly limits the powers of the central government.

Concilism

Concilism is a system of government organization in which the legislative branch of government is divided into four independent base councils that both vote on legislature and elect their members, internally. These base councils are presided over by a people’s council, it’s members elected by the citizenry, which holds a veto over any proposed legislature. The elimination of political parties and organizations leads to the executive branch simply becoming an unbiased instrument used to carry-out the legislature passed by the councils. The judicial branch also remains unbiased and separate from the other branches of government and operates under the Rule of Law. All branches of government and all citizens are bound legally by a written constitution.

Conallism

Conallism is a modern religion. Similar in aspects to Solipsism, and to a lesser extent, Buddhism. Based on the question "Does God know he is God? If not, is he really God? Or just you?"

It differs from Solipsism in that each individual does not believe he or she is subconsciously God, rather they believe that Conall, a normal person, is God and unknowingly controls the world through his subconscious.

Followers of the religion, or Conallists, believe Conall's mental state is vital to the world remaining stable. Suttle changes in mood of the deity could result in natural catastrophes, disease or other types of suffering anywhere in the world.

Conallism, like Buddhism, contains the idea's of Karma, reincarnation, meditation etc.

I am interested in the religion of Conallism.

Consolism

The belief that one gaming console is better than another and therefore under no circumstance can be better or as good as that console. This belief usually continues to the games of that console and that even if a game is available for multiple consoles, the version of the console which the person believes to be better is better in all ways than the other console versions.

Person 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the Xbox 360 is better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the PlayStation 3 since the Xbox will always be better than the PlayStation 3.

Person 2: That is consolism.

Concealism

A style and, arguably, genre of film-making in which real, non-actors are manipulated into becoming part of a fictional, plot. This is similar to the hidden-camera genre of comedy, but different in that the unwitting participants may be aware that they are being filmed - just not fully aware of the true nature of the filming.

Significant examples of cinematic concealism include:
Vampire's Kiss (1988) - some scenes featured Nicolas Cage interacting with real people, unaware that they were being filmed, on the streets of New York
Windy City Heat (2003)
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
Bruno (2009)
Under the Skin (2013) - some scenes featured Scarlett Johansson interacted with real people, unaware that they were being filmed, on the streets of Glasgow
Look Who's Back (2015) - some scenes featured a man presenting as Adolf Hitler interacting with members of the general public in front of cameras, mostly assuming they were in some sort of comedy film
Impractical Jokers: The Movie (2020)
Bad Trip (2020)

The phrase originates from the comedy film podcast Diminishing Returns, following a discussion of the work of Sacha Baron Cohen, the film Windy City Heat and the film Vampire's Kiss (where the hosts finally settled on a specific phrase to use for the genre).

Sacha Baron Cohen is a master of cinematic concealism.
