Consumocracy 

Capitalism on the consumer end-- the ability of consumers to control the quality, price, and ethical production standards of the goods that they buy through the free market system. Essentially, it is voting with your money. If enough people decide they are unhappy with a product, they can opt not to buy it, and force the company to change their policies. It is an unwritten safety net regulation that consumers in a free market can fall back on if all else fails.
Some of the more notable examples of the results of Consumocracy include dolphin-safe tuna, child-labor-free manufacturing, the growing disappearance of MSG and HFC from food products, healthier fast food menu options, and more.

consultocracy 

when the government outsources its own duties & responsibilities to consultant types. When it seeks their help to answer basic questions and solve problems. This act is done to promote the government's own narratives, consolidate power and reaffirm their existing beliefs.

The consultants would be required to produce a powerpoint presentation (aka "A DECK") on it. The deck shall have a minimum of 3 pie charts, 6 graphs, small font, cheesy acronyms, 2 inspirational quotes attributed to random dead thinkers & philosophers, and flourish animation.

As a result decision-making becomes a chaotic blend of wisdom, whimsy, & wild suggestions resembling a brainstorming session gone hilariously wrong.
In the land of consultocracy, the Supreme Leader's attempt to fix potholes involved a committee of experts deliberating on the most efficient shapes for them, while the roads continued to resemble a lunar surface.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
