Both a concept and a name, "Karisma" is that fiery ball of warmth in the room that everyone wishes to crowd around. She has a dope personality, and is one that all desire to meet and have an intellectual conversation with. The name, and the person, are both hard to forget; so it's not surprising that the person has a diverse multitude of friends.

A hybrid between the adjective "Karishma" --not to be confused with the noun, "karishma," defined by urban dictionary-- and the adjective "Charisma" (which describes Karisma pretty accurately), "Karisma" can be used as both a noun and an adjective for anything that is not typical or shallow.

It is also often said that "Karisma" can be derived from the Hindu god "Krishna," therefore making "Karisma" a female version of the god--a deity with innate superpowers, wisdom, and physical beauty!

"Karlism" is an extremely negative paranoid view of the world, combined with a sadomasochistic non-productive extraordinarily vocal and manipulative tendency to express such negative views in order to obtain a personal benefit, even though it usually accomplishes the exact opposite of what the person expressing such views might be trying to achieve.
Even in case John had been correct in some of his critical observations, his usual non-productive way of communication can be seen as a perfect example of "Karlism."

Due to his "Karlistic" approach, John who felt management had been conspiring against him from the beginning, only made the situation worse when he openly accused a board member of manipulation and deceit."

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
