Legalpost

A tactic where the perpetrator sets moving goalposts around legal evidence, jurisdiction, or procedure, demanding that the target produce legal documents, court rulings, or specific legal formats, and then dismissing them when provided. Legalposting often demands “proof” of harm in forms that are impossible for victims to obtain (e.g., court rulings from oppressive regimes), or it elevates procedural technicalities over substantive justice. It is used to exhaust human rights advocates and to shift debate from moral urgency to legal minutiae.

Example: “She provided reports from multiple human rights organizations; he said ‘those aren’t legal findings.’ When she cited international court rulings, he said ‘they don’t have jurisdiction here.’ Legalpost: moving goalposts to avoid engaging with substance.”

legalistic antinomian

1. (n.) - One who outlaws things that need not be outlawed (e.g., the word "crap", music, movies), and allows things that should be forbidden (e.g., horrendous theology, heresies, blasphemies, sin). A term that usually applies to many in the Christian community. (See fundamentalist.) It should be noted, however, that not all Christians are like this, and that the Bible does not support such behavior.

1. Fundamentalists are, quite often, legalistic antinomians.

Legalothinking / Legal Groupthinking

The professional and institutional groupthink endemic to legal communities, where adherence to procedural formalism, precedent, and adversarial tactics overrides considerations of justice, ethics, or common sense. This mindset enforces a shared language and logic that can seem alien to outsiders, prioritizing "winning" within the rules of the game over achieving a fair or sensible outcome. It creates a collective blind spot where legal professionals—judges, lawyers, clerks—can unanimously agree on a course of action that is legally coherent but morally absurd or socially destructive, as the framework of the law itself becomes the only permissible reality.

Legalothinking / Legal Groupthinking Example: In a corporate law firm, a team debates how to help a client avoid environmental liability. Legalothinking takes over: they spend hours strategizing on jurisdictional loopholes and procedural delays, all while tacitly agreeing not to question the client's destructive practices. The shared goal becomes crafting the most technically defensible argument, not preventing environmental harm. The group's moral compass is recalibrated to point only toward legal victory.
