fauxcialist

A faux socialist; one who professes to follow socialist principles, but in fact opposes or undermines them at every turn. Tony Blair's "New Labour" in the UK is a well-known example.

Tony Blair took the socialist Labour Party in a new direction in 1997, creating the fauxcialist and neoliberal "New Labour".

fauxcialism

The act of pretending to be involved in a socialist community for personal reasons that have nothing to do with the people who are actually involved. i.e. to alleviate guilt, or to get that socio-hippie-freak lover to complete the collection.

Tamera: "I thought he was really fantastic, until I realized he really didn't care about us at all."

Dawn: "Yeah, I had him pegged as being into fauxcialism from the beginning. I hope the sex was good for you."

fauxializing

The act of attending public gatherings--to be in a social setting--but then emitting a vibe that says you want to be left alone. Being there simply to be around others.

"Who reads a book at a bar?"

"She's just fauxializing."

fauxialite

Main Entry: Faux*ial*ite(s)
Pronunciation: 'fO-sh&-"lIt

A naive young woman who thinks too highly of her egotistical self. Tries very hard to be something she's not.

Fauxicism

A false toughness defined by machismo and self-imposed isolation. The fauxic lives a life of constant, perceived persecution or threat without a fully formed sense of self. Fauxicism is marked by a projected carapace of imperturbability and lonely burden-carrying, though this may dissolve into snowflakery when the fauxic's sense of honor or respect is impinged.

Drinking yourself into an early grave to avoid talking to someone isn’t tough or edgy, it’s fauxicism.

There is upper-case Stoicism, lower-case stoicism, and then there is Fauxicism, the lowest-case stoicism.
