The deliberate killing of young people and future generations. Primarily used in the context of inaction on climate change and global warming by the fossil fuel industry, politicians, and governments.

Coined by Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist and author of Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution, in a Guardian article from November 2021.
For over 50 years, the fossil fuel industry has actively suppressed the truth about global warming; knowingly committing neocide. They knew that fossil fuels would lead to catastrophic global heating which would be especially destructive to young people and future generations.

nepocide 

The act of willingly sacrificing future generations for current convenience.
The politicians that continue to give oil companies financial subsidies, the people that let their car idle when parked and the homeowners that run their AC on max knowing that we are facing a climate crisis which we are running out of time to solve, are all committing nepocide.

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
