Exception Capitalism

The most extreme form of martial capitalism, where capitalism rules everything and everyone with an iron fist, operating in a permanent state of exception—suspending normal legal protections, democratic oversight, and human rights at will. Under exception capitalism, the logic of profit overrides all other values, and any resistance is treated as a threat to be eliminated by whatever means necessary. It is capitalism as a totalitarian system: no strikes, no protests, no unions, no safety nets. Exception capitalism justifies itself through endless crisis (economic, pandemic, climate) to maintain a state of emergency that never ends.

Exception Capitalism Example: “During the lockdown, the company used ‘public safety’ as an excuse to ban all organizing and fire anyone who complained—exception capitalism, turning crisis into a permanent suspension of worker rights.”

White Girl Celebrity Exception

When a white female doesn't date a guy(mainly black) of another race, unless he is famous/a celebrity.

LL Cool J is USUALLY the standard set for black males.

Girl: I don't date black guys. But I'd SO date LL Cool J!
Black guy: I see you're using the White Girl Celebrity Exception as an excuse/copout.

cunnilingus exception 

If you're a male who decides to stay abstinent until either marriage or a committed relationship, the exception made to only engage in cunnilingus (oral stimulation on the female genitalia) as a form of erotic foreplay or as an alternative to sex.
This may seem highly hypocritical to many people since "oral sex" is viewed as being just as intimate as vaginal intercourse, but the idea is keeping your own private area "pure" until you have either met the right person and/or have gotten married.
The cunnilingus exception is not for everyone, but it is a personal lifestyle choice that a few people (including myself) have made. This can also be for religious, spiritual, or philosophical reasons.

The cunnilingus exception is like "having your cake and eating it too". Pun intended. :-)

crime fraud exception 

An existing legal concept addressing how the attorney-client privilege essentially evaporates due to the exception that exists when a client seeks the services of an attorney for the underlying purpose of receiving the legal assistance to commit a crime.

One of the ex-Thief in Chief’s attorneys, Evan Corcoran, has been subpoenaed to testify in the federal stolen classified documents case and he will likely be compelled, thanks to the crime fraud exception, to discuss things that would have otherwise been protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Every crime, without exception, is an exact, color photograph of the individual's behavior.

A tautological but pointed statement emphasizing that a criminal charge is a legalistic representation of an act, not an objective moral judgment. The "photograph" is framed by the state's lens: the same act (possession of a substance) may be a crime in one jurisdiction and legal in another. It highlights the artificial, constructed line between "criminal" and "non-criminal" behavior.

"Every crime, without exception, is an exact, color photograph of the individual's behavior." Example: A person is arrested for "vagrancy." The "color photograph" is their behavior: sleeping on a park bench. The charge is the state's caption. The statement forces us to separate the act (sleeping) from the socially imposed label ("crime"), revealing how law defines deviance.

Every law, without exception, is an exact, color photograph of the behavior of the ruling class.

A radical, materialist maxim asserting that legal codes do not regulate the powerful; they codify and sanctify their existing conduct and interests. Laws against theft protect bourgeois property; complex tax codes legalize elite wealth optimization; regulatory capture turns corporate preference into statute. The law is a documentary snapshot of what the rulers already do, dressed in the garb of universal justice.

"Every law, without exception, is an exact, color photograph of the behavior of the ruling class." Example: A government passes a strict new "anti-piracy" law with severe penalties for downloading media. This "exact photograph" captures the behavior of the media conglomerate lobbyists who drafted it, seeking to criminalize consumer sharing that threatens their profit model, while their own history of exploiting artists remains perfectly legal.
