Reunification

restoration of political unity to a place or group, especially a divided territory.

Coming back together again after being separated or in conflict is called reunification.

"we will strive for the peaceful reunification of the motherland"

Instead of reunification , more children are being adopted from foster care. After World War I, the holiday included all soldiers who died serving their country, although it is still near the original date of the Civil War reunification .

Inverted Reification Fallacy

The fallacy of treating an abstract concept, political view, or theoretical position as if it were a concrete, physical object or event with the same kind of objective reality as a rock or a tree. Where standard reification treats abstractions as things, Inverted Reification goes further—it treats political positions, ideologies, or worldviews as if they were brute facts of nature, beyond interpretation or debate. "The left believes X" becomes as solid as "water boils at 100 degrees." "Postmodernism says Y" becomes as unquestionable as "gravity pulls." The fallacy creates Concrete Hyper-realism: abstract positions treated as physical laws, interpretive frameworks treated as objective reality. The result is that debate becomes impossible because you're not arguing about interpretations anymore—you're arguing about what you've declared to be facts. And you can't debate facts, only reject them.

Inverted Reification Fallacy - Concrete Hyper-realism "Postmodernism denies objective truth—that's just a fact about what postmodernism is." That's Inverted Reification Fallacy—treating a complex, contested intellectual tradition as if it were a simple, objective fact. But postmodernism isn't a rock; it's a label for diverse thinkers with different views. Treating it as a concrete thing you can define definitively is the fallacy. Reality is complicated; treating abstractions as concrete is how we pretend it's not."
