Shitwords are words commonly used and perceived as positive, which under closer inspection are revealed to stand for [evil](evil.md) things. Shitwords are bad in being misused, misleading, sustaining evil mentality and pushing [harmful](hamrful.md) concepts; they're typically encountered in propaganda (usually spread without the speaker even realizing he is doing it). Nevertheless these words are part of practically all daily conversation in [21st century](21st_century.md) dystopia; currently the only place where they are correctly handled is [this wiki](lrs_wiki.md). Note that these words must NOT be [censored](censorship.md), for censorship is itself an evil that must never be practiced -- it is very important to realize we must NOT support development of [newspeak](newspeak.md) like [pseudoleft](pseudoleft.md) tries to. Instead we must simply realize what the words stand for, what harm they do, and use them correctly. The difference here is the same as applying speech filters and censorship (wrong) and applying mindfulness to become better aware of what we previously ignored (correct).
Shitwords include the following:
- **[assertiveness](assertiveness.md)**: fancy word for behaving like an asshole
- **career**: linked to work, absolute conformance to the system, lifelong slavery
- **[coding](coding.md)**: shitting out hasted, low quality code; see also *productivity*
- **[competition](competition.md)**: root cause of absolutely all societal [evil](evil.md), as a social mechanism always undesirable, cause of [fascism](fascism.md), [wars](war.md), inequality, [capitalism](capitalism.md), criminality, eventually genocide, [racism](racism.md) etcetc.
- **fair**: concept ensuring that [competition](competition.md) works as intended, i.e. that strong win and weak lose; once we reject competition, fairness becomes undesirable
- **[hero](hero.md)**: cult of personality, making gods out of people, distorts rational thinking with emotion, establishes social hierarchy, induces fear of disagreement, living symbol fueling fascism; see also *pride*
- **[identity](identity_politics.md)**: basis of [fascism](fascism.md), [egoism](egoism.md), self-obsession, fashion, bullshit
- **inclusivity**: another [SJW](sjw.md) term, signals conformance to pseudoleft, in fact means forceful exclusivity of unwanted social majorities, i.e. fascism
- **[open source](open_source.md)**: unethical capitalist movement aimed at business, NOT freedom or ethics; explicitly abandons ethics, its goal is only shallow "openness" (source availability etc.), supports free market, capitalism and corporations
- **person** (also p-word): signals conformance to [pseudoleft](pseudoleft.md); it's better to use other words such as "man"
- **personal growth / self improvement**: linked to [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md)
- **[popularization](popularization.md)**: propaganda, manipulation, forcing; nothing must be made artificially more or less popular than it gets naturally; popularization of any concept always leads to its destruction by [mainstreamization](mainstream.md)
- **[pride](pride.md)**: basis of [fascism](fascism.md), feeling of superiority, divides people; related to fight culture, competition etc.
- **[privacy](privacy.md)**: bullshit, basis for lucrative business, comes with increasing censorship, paranoia, fear, state control, dehumanization; incompatible with information freedom, [simplicity](minimalism.md), openness, transparency, ...
- **problematic**: used by [SJWs](sjw.md) to euphemistically mark something or someone for [canceling](cancel_culture.md) and/or [censorship](censorship.md)
- **[productivity](productivity_cult.md)**: materialism, [capitalist](capitalism.md) cult of constantly producing for its own sake, making people into robots, judging worth of people by how much they can produce, putting quantity before quality, production before any other values such as mental health; spawns fanatic religious cults
- **[progress](progress.md)**: aiming only for novelty, endless growth for its own sake ([cancer](cancer.md)), not for [good](good.md)
- **protection**: [fight culture](fight_culture.md) term, usually euphemism for [censorship](censorship.md), [surveillance](surveillance.md), giving up [freedom](freedom.md), establishing police states, punishments, suggesting [fear](fear_culture.md) of being "attacked" etc.
- **respect**: has valid uses (mostly as a verb, e.g. "I respect your opinion"), but is often used as a euphemism and [fuzzy](fuzzy.md) propaganda term, used a lot in [COCs](coc.md) to establish generic "we can ban you for whatever we dislike" rules
- **(human/legal) [right](rights_culture.md)**: establishes that "what's not explicitly allowed is forbidden", increases reliance on [law](law.md), makes basic freedoms into privileges, makes people slaves to constant activism; "right" is often used to mean "restriction" (as in [copyright](copyright.md) etc.)
- **safe space**: another euphemism that sounds like almost opposite of what it really is: a place of terror, highly controlled, censored, monitored police-state dystopia enforcing specific political thinking, eliminating [freedom of speech](free_speech.md), yielding absolute control to the state (or server owner etc.)
- **[security](security.md)**: related to "privacy", business based on fear, increases obscurity, proprietary and closed technology, bloat, [bullshit](bullshit.md), fight culture, competition, ...
- **[smart](smart.md)**: buzzword, means surveillance, obscurity, [bloat](bloat.md) and shittyness in general
- **[update](update.md)**: perpetuates update culture, prevents things from being [finished](finished.md)
- **[work](work.md)**: means slavery, human working is doing machine's job and loses his humanity, stops living to do something that non-living things do -- it's better to create than to work
