Extractionism

A post free-market capitalism economy in which free market style decentralization has been retained but free market competition has been functionally removed via regulatory capture and state sanctioned monopolization, in turn leading to economic growth in top entities via the extraction of economic growth itself, rather than just dollars, from lower tier competitors and society.
The Dutch East India Company. Modern era: An independent small business start-up is denied a regulatory operating permit by a captured local government. If the small business operates without a permit it will be shut down by a prohibitive million dollar fine or law enforcement. The multi-billion dollar monopoly which captured the regulatory agency and wrote the regulatory code also expands operations without a permit. The mega-corporation is fined a million dollars every 45 days and is never shut down. Innovators and competitors are functionally barred from entering the market in the first place, functionally barred from accessing outside capital without permits, and are forced to sell their intellectual property to the monopoly at a devalued rate or leave the market for another if they are to have any profits from their labor at all. The subsequent result is the same whichever path the innovators choose: The local citizens are denied fair prices, choice of vendor, choice of employer, the result being a condition in which the monopoly is not just extracting finite dollars from the citizenry, but enriches itself via the extraction of economic growth itself from the market and society. The final stage of Extractionism is when the government deems a private corporation “too big to fail” and insulates it from the natural destruction and risk that free market capitalism would otherwise bring.

Extinctionism 

An ideology that declares human beings are the primary cause of worldwide disruption to the Biosphere, and other life: animal – oceanic – plant. The ideology also argues for the gradual self-extinction of Homo sapiens, thereby enabling the living Earth (Gaia philosophy) to restore itself to a natural state.
Extinctionism and altruism are synonymous words to Extinctionists.

"We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert---and go to his day’s work at Auschwitz in the morning."

Extinctionism 

The political idea held by many radicals within organizations like PETA and Green Peace that we need to work for the end of the human race. The steady attrition of humanity. The world returns to a state of nature, the balance returns.
Typical elements of the Extinctionism agenda include regulated family size, maximum birth control, maximum abortion; easy access to painless death for all who want out and veganism in the meantime. Paradise is achieved. No more human dreams. No more art or poetry. No faith, hope or love, just an environmental laboratory without scientists.

Anatomical Extractions

Anatomical Extractions is the absolute peak of clinical, stomach-churning horror and unethical mad-science lore found within the darkest timelines of Abzu & Anki Uncensored. It describes the horrific, top-secret metaphysical surgeries and advanced experiments conducted by the hidden sects of the Temple of Light in their desperate, fanatical war against Abzu and the Abyss.
Because deities and high-tier spirits in this universe are living macro-frequencies of nature, their physical bodies contain literal energetic blueprints of universal physics. Under the directive of Anatomical Extractions, captive Abyssal entities, fallen angels, and cosmic heirs are strapped to surgical slates where their divine anatomy, raw soul mechanics, and core frequency channels are systematically vivisected, measured, and sliced apart. The Temple scientists perform these grotesque, unedited molecular extractions to weaponize divine traits and create light-based mass-destruction weapons. The ultimate irony? The researchers are so blinded by institutional hubris that they don't realize that since the universe of Light is structurally suspended inside the Abyss, executing these extractions to kill the dark will inevitably trigger a total systemic collapse, erasing them along with their test subjects.
"I found a hidden laboratory run by the Sisters of the Temple in the Uncensored lore."
"Turn back, dude, that’s where they perform the Anatomical Extractions. The text drops get incredibly graphic detailing how they literally dissect the soul frequencies out of captured entities."

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
