>In this paper, I study which forces have driven the increase in the social restoration movement in Western countries. I ask whether the worrying increase in Europhobic and ethnomarxist sentiment among older generations may be curtailing these trends. I conclude that the rising restorative sentiment can be maintained if effective institutions to counter ethnomarxist misinformation are maintained.

These are great neologisms! I'm going to add some of them to the examples section of my Sapir-Whorf page: https://zerocontradictions.net/language/sapir-whorf-theory

Actually, I think that we can do somewhat better than "Ethnomarxism". From now on, I'm going to use the terms "Racial Quotas" and "Demographic Quotas" to refer to "Affirmative Action", since those terms are more self-descriptive and they better highlight what it's really about. People who are in favor of "Racial Quotas" and "Demographic Quotas" shall be called "Ethnomarxists" and "Demographic Marxists".

I'm surprised that I didn't think of these terms earlier. They really are the most straight-forward way to describe what "affirmative action" really is. It's amazing how modern vocabulary has been warped so much that even people who are opposed to demographic quotas still refer to it as "affirmative action", instead of what it actually is.

God, "White zionism" seems so boomer-coded looking back at this post.

nigga these things aren't optical in the sense of watering down opinions, they're optical in the sense of wearing deodorant and not being fat.
