Ark of Atlantis Glossary
Here will house a continually updating glossary of terms. Perpetually incomplete.
Corbyn Conundrum
The Corbyn Conundrum is when you can't tell if a person speaking is shamelessly lying, in other words evil, or if they're so stupid they genuinely believe the things they're saying.
Named for one time Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Disposable Whites
The name for those White people in Western nations who are incompatible with society. They cannot satisfy their needs by contributing to society, so must attack it instead.
The term divides into relatively disposable and absolutely disposable, akin to relative and absolute poverty.
Relatively disposable means the person is capable of contributing to the society, but wishes to be in a position, or have control, that is inappropriate for them to have. Thus any benefits they might add are no longer worth the cost. Some of these people can be reformed, others cannot.
Absolutely disposable means just that; there’s no place for this person in society and they must be removed.
Net Negatives
A Net Negative is someone who does great work to support out cause, but overall does more harm than good.
Not everyone who supports a Parasitic worldview is a Net Negative, and some who support a Downstream worldview can be Net Negatives.
You must suppress Net Negatives and get whatever positive thing they were providing from another source.
Rear Guard Progressives
Rear Guard Progressives have several qualifying characteristics.
The first is that they are Right Wing, and declare themselves as such.
Secondly they espouse the view that Right Wing politics is simply about a achieving Left Wing aims. They correctly point out that Conservatives get elected by claiming opposition to the Progressives, but upon getting elected implement the Progressives' aims for them, often more effectively.
The third qualifying characteristic, is that even though they tell you that Right Wing politics is simply about serving the Left, they still tell you to be Right Wing! The way they usually achieve this is by tricking you into confining their observations on Right vs Left to a specific domain such as politics. They'll tell you all about how the Right serves the Left, but will trick you into thinking it only applies to political parties, and not the political philosophies which create them!
This is why they're called Rear Guard Progressives. They pretend to be opposed to the Progressives, but in reality support them, and they stop you from escaping by acting as a fake opposition! They're so devious and shameless that they even tell you how evil they are, but because they're the ones saying it you naturally assume that they must be good!
If you followed the logic of the Rear Guard Progressives to its natural conclusion, you wouldn't be a Rear Guard Progressive, because their own ideas reveal them to be evil.
A popular example at the time of writing is the Dissident Right. They say the Right is good, the Left is evil, yet tell their supporters to be Right Wing! It's absurd.
To break free from the clutches of the Rear Guard Progressives, one must escape the Left-Right containment field.
Upside Down World
A term describing the system the Parasites are trying to establish. Every Parasite ideology aims to some degree to turn up into down, and down into up; it’s the only way for them to avoid being purged by the Host.
Only when good is considered bad, and vice versa, can the Parasite live and be comfortable. That is, they’ll live free until Upside Down World crumbles due to its own incompatibility with reality. Upside Down World is itself a Parasite, and unless it establishes its own Upside Down World (an Upside Down World FOR the Upside Down World to live in), it too will be purged from its own Host.
