The ideology that circles are the superior shape. It is the belief that life and objects should be well rounded as all things should be. It is the complete opposite of Cornerism, as it believes all corners should be cut off.
"I believe in Circularism"
"Shut up Harry, today we are learning about the great Circularism"
A system of beliefs that advocates for the supremacy of one's friendgroup (read: their CIRCLE of friends) above all others. Often involving complex schemes and especially esoteric language & terms. Generally encourages "networking" to assimilate useful persons into the Circle. Can seem cult-like to outsiders but in truth is mostly harmless. Mostly.
...but you can't hack the elections if there were no elections in the first place.
This is why Circularism is the supreme ideology.
According Triangular scriptures, the willful bretrayal of Triangulist principles. Circularists often refer to the Circle as a liberator from the tyranny of the Triangle. However, it is a lie. For he only wishes to subdue the circularist by giving him false hope that he is a liberator. The Circle only wishes to make all his followers servants to him under oppressive rule.
(sur-kyoo-lur-isum)
The triangle doesn't condemn. It sends all who wish to be with the Circle to the Circular kingdom. However, once there, they will be slaves for the Circle for all eternity. And they will have jagged copper rods shoved up their sphincter for the circle's amusement.

An argument that goes nowhere. Though a person believes he or she is arguing a point, the argument does not progress because the individual provides the same point for the effect as he/she does for the cause (i.e., the effect is just the cause stated in different words). In short, what is given as the effect is already made obvious--either overtly or implicitly--by the supporting reason provided.
To say, "I didn't like that movie because it was really bad," is to provide a premise in support of the opinion that goes without saying. It goes without saying that if one does not like the movie, he/she will not believe the movie is good. Likewise, statements such as "I am Bainz, so I am drunk," "I enjoy listening to music when I study because music helps me to study," and "I wear Fant-Ho shades because they're the best shades" are equally circular in nature. A true argument would supply support that explains WHY Bainz is always drunk, HOW music helps the person's study habits, and WHAT makes Fant-Ho shades better than other brands.
Dumb people write circular arguments.
Swain stated the obvious when he made the circular argument, "I am Swain; therefore, I am a clown-bitch." I was like, duh!

Circular reasoning is providing evidence for the validity of an assertion, which assumes the validity of the assertion.
General forms include "A is true because A is true" or "A is true because B is true, and B is true because A is true".
Often used as a mechanism to prevent an assertion from being challenged or questioned, or to "win" a debate by sending it round and round in circles.
Examples of circular reasoning:
"I'm right because I'm right."
"There isn't a problem with the rule, because if everyone obeyed it there wouldn't be a problem."
"Piracy is wrong because it's against the law, and it's against the law because it's wrong."
"X is stupid because he's an idiot."
