Statology

The study of states as systems of power using Sovietological methods: analyzing how states maintain legitimacy, manage internal dissent, project force, and reproduce their governing elites. Statology treats states not as neutral arbiters but as organizations with their own interests, internal factions, and ritualized procedures. It examines the security apparatus, the bureaucracy, the legal system, and the educational system as interlocking mechanisms of control. Unlike traditional political science, statology assumes opacity and deception as normal features of state behavior, requiring the interpretive skills of the Kremlinologist.

Example: “His statology of the US national security state showed how ‘emergency powers’ have become permanent, creating a parallel government that operates outside constitutional checks—a state within the state.”

A more proper term to describe a professional bullshitter. One who brags constantly and unnecessarily. "Bovine" referring to cattle (i.e. Bull), and "Scatologist" (one who analyzes excrement).

Mary: "Don't believe everything Tom tells you. I asked him to gave me a ride home. That's all. He's just BSing you."
