Dictionaries need occasional updating due to new words and phrases being added to the language, or due to existing words and phrases acquiring new uses. And so:
Among the many entries:
Anti-nuclear movement – One of the most successful Soviet active measures projects, which managed to advance Russian economic and geopolitical interests by convincing gullible western ignoramuses that the cleanest source of energy ever invented is bad.
Celibacy, clerical – The secret sauce that helped create the modern world and helped rationalism, humanism and democracy, as well as high median IQs to flourish in Europe by systematically removing the crazies, gullibles, schizophrenics, hysterics, lunatics, fanatics and morons from the gene pool for hundreds of years.
Communism – 1. The only thing in history actually worse than Hitler. 2. Fascism minus food.
Elon Musk – A time-travelling artificial intelligence installed in a barely convincing simulacrum of a human body. Tasked with returning this timeline to the correct trajectory, from which it strayed in the late 1960s.

Hate speech – 1. Facts 2. Anything outside the communist memeplex. 3. (rarely) Hate speech.
Marginalized group – A group with preferential access to education and employment opportunities, benefitting from nonstop hagiographic media coverage and government programmes for its exclusive benefit, and legally exempt from all criticism, in contrast to Privileged groups, whose situation is the opposite. (See also Privilege)
Nordic model – A complex web of public and private institutions built on the rule of law, strong private property rights and free enterprise followed by modest and increasingly unpopular redistribution, with all Scandinavian countries except Norway ranking above the United States on the Index of Economic Freedom. This gets called “socialism” by American idiots on both the extreme left and right, who don’t know what socialism is, but who either totally love or hate capitalism, because they don’t know what that is, either. (See also Capitalism, Socialism)
Other ways of knowing – A colossal Motte and Bailey, in which the banal observation that science is subject to occassional human biases and cultural prejudices is used to justify rankest relativism, and placing indigenous musings about angry mountain spirits on equal footing with meteorology, astrology with astronomy, gender theory with biology.
Privilege – 1. Meritocracy, but with disapproving spin. 2. Apparently something coal miners have and tenured professors don’t.
Simulation hypothesis – Creationism for nerds. Likely, though.
Socialism – 1. The proposition that abuses of power will be solved by making opportunities to commit them much bigger. 2. The promotion of principal-agent problems and cronyism to the main organizing principle of society. 3. The proposition that the problem of collusion of economic and political power will be solved by making economic and political power identical. 4. A system for the maximisation of hierarchical privilege, institutional capture and elite unaccountability.
