Meaningless term used in meetings by powerful bureaucrats to subdue dissenters while gaining respect, cooperation, and sympathy from sheeple. The word performs multiple functions at once: 1) it conveys a farcical title upon attendant sheeple, giving them a false sense of self-importance for which they feel thankful to the bureaucrat; 2) it conveys a false sense of empathy, causing attendant sheeple to view the bureaucrat favorably; 3) it gives the bureaucrat the appearance of magnanimity, which in turn makes the bureaucrat seem reasonable and dissenters unreasonable.

Example: School Board Meeting:

Dissenter: Mr. Bureaucrat, how is it possible that our children remain illiterate despite their having attended our district schools for 13 years?

Bureaucrat: Mr. Dissenter, all of us in this room are stakeholders in our wonderful district that is filled with hardworking, selfless teachers and administrators; your undue criticism is damaging all of us.

Stabenism

Literally: "Treat others and expect to be treated in return."

A cycle, a revolution. An orbit of treating people. Once you treat another, it will be coming back to you.

"I treated my friend earlier this week, so this weekend I got an unexpected treat when i didn't even expect it. Classic case of Stabenism right there."

stakeholder savage

When a person holds stakes in someone's life or business, but abuses that power just to make the person miserable without giving a single damn about it.

"My dad always brings up what he can use against me if I piss him off. He always commits stakeholder savage."
