Y'all are equivocating on the meaning of "good." Oliver means something "useful" and Outsideness means something like "sticky"

As the sort-of inventor of “the Great Awokening” which appears to be kinda sticky, I think it’s good to have another term that expresses the dreary but hysterical insanity that takes over once the ideology is unopposed in an institution, which I think the phrase expresses.

Replying to @toad_spotted @86631yt91
"The Great Awokening" is a superb coinage. It refers to a calamitous cultural event, rather than a specific ideology, so I agree something else is needed. "The successor ideology" ain't it.

I think "successor ideology" is Okay, in the sense that it is useful enough, and people who think it's a bad term should come up with and propose a better one.

"Totalitarian anti-naturalism" pretty much describes it.

A bit of a mouthful, though.

Sounds too much like a slur, which means it will repel people not immediately inclined to agree with the term.

In the current crisis, if it came to a public discussion about how totalitarian the militant anti-naturalists actually are, I'm fairly confident they themselves would be saying "Totalitarianism gets a bad rap actually, and basically means non-racist." ...

... As for the "anti-naturalism" that's surely entirely neutral and non-controversial. "Naturalism" is basically equivalent to full-Hitler for the new Red Guards.
