Declinism

The stupid ideological lens that most millennials look through nowadays. Most often expressed in the form of pessimistic sentiments such as "XXXX was a horrible year, I hope next year will be better". Ironically they say that for every year regardless, as they'll always find something horrible that happened.

The opposite of declinism is looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses. Both opposites are bad.

The correct view is to fully embrace in the good aspects while still acknowledging the bad.

After Trump became president at the end of 2016, it seems that the broad population of young American adults have slowly started adopting the view of declinism.

Pog marbles or stickers

1) Some lame ass token economy system that shit-for-brains elementary school teachers love to brainwash their 'special' students with
2) A question that's been asked to the point of ad nauseam, and can no longer warrant a response (i.e. no fucks given)

1) Paul the helper: Pog marbles or stickers.
2nd grader: POG????
Paul the helper: Yes
2nd grader: POG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul the helper: Ok here you go
2nd grader: *starts to cry after realizing he had been duped*

2) Mr. Dotard: Pog marbles or stickers?
5th grader: whatever

Paan

Paan is a stimulant that is widely consumed throughout the southeastern parts of Asia. It is made from areca nut wrapped around betel leaves (these plants are only grown in southeastern Asia). Similar to chewing tobacco, it is consumed through chewing the leaves which produces a juice that is either swallowed or spat out. Interesting though, the juice being spat out is a bloody red color.

Dudebro 1: Ey yo, you got some Paan?

Dudebro 2: Nah fam, but you can go ask those Betel nut beauties down the street

Dialectic

1) Fancy academic term for the inquiry of truths in an opinion

2) See: Hegelian dialectic, Dialectical materialism, Hegelianism

1) The two exchanged dialectics with regards to the recent statements made by the president.

2) For Hegel, the concrete, the synthesis, the absolute, must always pass through the phase of the negative, in the journey to completion, that is, mediation. Day must always be met with night; either one cannot stay forever. A peaceful kingdom will always be met with a violent revolution. The sun will eventually explode and earth will ultimately become stardust for yet another star and its planetary system. Nothing is stagnant or fixed in the grand scheme of things; its current state is the reflection and outcome of a long chain of events in the past, and is still destined to an endless cycle of renewal. This is the essence of what is popularly called Hegelian dialectics.
