Dialectical Spiritualism 

Dialectical Spiritualism, also Dialectical Supernaturalism, Dialectical Occultism and Dialectical Esotericism, is a spiritualist theory that political, historical and social events result from the interaction between physical and extraphysical forces and are interpretable as a series of contradictions and their solutions. The conflict is believed to be caused by the material needs and extraphysical needs and the interaction and connection between both.
"I like dialectical spiritualism, it might be useful when people consider to study about deistology, spiritology, extraphysics and metaphysics as well. Mainly on the understading of how the physical and extraphysical can interact between each other and how both are necessary for a good understanding of reality and even complement dialectical materialism as well."

Radical Spiritualism 

Radical Spiritualism, also reffered as Spiritual Radicalism and shortened as RadSpirit, RadSpiritual, SpiritRad and SpiritualRad, is a spiritualist ideology, derived from New Spiritualism, that supports that materialists, atheists, anti-theists, physicalists and positivists want to kill and disprove spirituality, spiritualism, esoterics and religion with all possible means, mainly using of science, more specific natural sciences and sciences like neuroscience and psychology, and that there's a spiritualicide happening and that Cultural Atheism is actually reality and majority of spiritual people or are ignoring it or are agreeing with it and even protecting it. Radical Spiritualism supports that all spiritual people who is against spiritualicide, cultural atheism and all attemps to kill and disprove spiritual, religious and esoteric things, should unite themselves and fight all of those things before it's too late and cultural atheist finally take over and spirituality, spiritualism, esoterics and religion are completely killed and disproved and considered as "pseudosciences". Radical spiritualism is considered by being culturally left and economically left and it supports spiritualicism, extraphysicalism, division between natural and spiritual sciences and opposition to positivism, materialism, physicalism, new atheism, anti-theism and scientism.
"Radical Spiritualism is actually ok considering the way that our world nowadays is actually walking into, even it's extremely radical on telling almost all spiritual communities online and irl are a bad example of spirituality and only the radspiritual ones are a good example or the best example of spirituality."

Spiritualism

1. The belief or philosophy that the truth can mostly be found through our independent moral & spiritual conscience and contact with the divine-not just through sacred texts.

2. A system of belief or religious practice based on supposed communication with the spirits of the dead, especially through mediums, (ie. spiritism).
'In spiritualism, following just one religion or philosophy is narrow-minded and limits our knowledge, whereas spirituality (following our own moral conscience / many religions or philosophies) is open-minded and grows us in knowledge.'

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
