Critical Theory of Neoclassical Microeconomics

The application of Critical Theory to neoclassical microeconomics—examining its assumptions, its methods, and its role in justifying capitalist social relations. Critical Theory of Neoclassical Microeconomics asks: Why assume rational actors? Why treat preferences as given? Why focus on equilibrium rather than power? How do these assumptions serve to naturalize markets and obscure exploitation? It doesn't reject economics but insists that neoclassical economics is one framework among many—and one that systematically ignores power, history, and inequality. Critical theory demands an economics that actually explains how economies work, not just how they're supposed to work in theory.
"Neoclassical economics assumes rational actors making optimal choices. Critical Theory of Neoclassical Microeconomics asks: rational given what information? Optimal for whom? Under what constraints? The model describes a fantasy, not reality. Critical theory insists on economics that studies power, inequality, and exploitation—not just idealized markets. Economics that ignores power is just apologetics."

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
