tailored trash

White collar workers with many of the same characteristics of trailer trash, but which take it to a higher level of cultural depravity. Developers who demand perverse subsidies for creating urban sprawl, too big to fail and jail bankers who demand bonuses when they take down whole economies, flamboyant and racist professional sports team owners who feels entitled to publically funded grandiose stadiums.

The tailored trash claimed to be self made millionaire, but instead was on public welfare in the form perverse public subsidies, and entitlements to public infrastructure for developments that consumed nature and spit out urban sprawl.

Accelerationist

White supremacists that accelerate civil disorder and polarization and disruption of civil and political order by infiltrating social justice movements and accelerating the anger and violence and creating disorder within them. The System they believe is a facade with only a few hapless leaders that maintain it. Accelerationists hope to initiate a negative feedback systems where violence begets more violence, social turmoil, and people are forced into more extreme positions out of frustration and anger and will collapse the system and will ultimately result in racial polarization and racial division and separation of the races.

The protesters started out with a pretty clear goal of social justice and human rights for all. However, the protests soon became infiltrated with a few accelerationist who have stoked the anger and violence and looting and burning to make the perception of the protesters and their movement into the perpetrators vs the victims of social injustice in the eyes of the majority.

cultural erasure

When the dominant culture forces a minority to adopt to a dominant culture (revisionist history, customs, mannerisms, traditions, pedagogy, attire, names, language, history, religion, etc). The dominant forces in the culture may also force the minority into an economic system in which all but a few in a minority group is exploited and for which the the dominant leaders have inherent disadvantages.

The authorities assured us that cultural erasure was a myth and that the minorities cultural practice of living in tight close knit compounds only coincidentally looked like forced labor work camps because of the security towers The authorities noted that these primitive people preferred being assimilated in the dominant culture because it gave them unlimited opportunities to work, and an extreme sense of security.

BANANA

An acronym for: Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything.

Or: alternatively and acronym for: Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone).
A common expression used by developers to mock activists opposing land development, by labeling them as extremists who cannot be satisfied.

The developer had paid off the politicians and so was feeling secure in the outcome of the vote. However, after mockingly eating the 5th BANANA, to mock the hundreds of protests regarding the proposed landfill in the bay, the Commission finally could not withstand the cries of protest and voted the developer's proposal down.

not pull any punches

To speak truthfully, without brown nosing or without being patronizing or without being sensitive and kind.

Susan did not pull any punches when she told Bobby what she thought of him running over her brother in the living room when Bobby was drunk and high on drugs and put the car in drive instead of reverse.

Yea, she tends to use a sledge hammer and nail to driver her point in.

I guess she figures it will stick to him that way.

going dark

Using encryption software and devices to make messages unreadable. In some cases the software can make the data stored self-destruct when someone attempts to access information without a proper password.

The FBI is going after Apple in the courts, because Apple is making it's customers hardware and software difficult to access. The FBI wants a backdoor into Apple devices so terrorist and criminals can't be going dark, when performing illegal activities. Apple is fighting back because a backdoor could allow hackers into their customers computers, making them vulnerable.
