Antidisestablishmentarianism

Whoo... big word you say. The modern shorthand would be, well, Neo-Con. Let's Dissect the word -

• Establishment - I think of it as the Order that makes civilisation acceptable to the hunter/gather, the Comforting cotton wool that everyone within society is wrapped in, and what those outside of civil society live without.
• Disestablishmentarian - a person who wants to break down this system, not quite anarchy, because anarchy is without laws. this is more about breaking down society so that the individual can exist, no great overpowering structure to fear and be comforted by, like a paretn, so that the individual becomes an adult.
• Antidisestablishmentarianism - the fight against this hippy nonsense, those who fear life without civilisation, probably too fat to sneak up on a dear and throw a stick at it, and don't know how to start a fire any other way then "Jeeves! I thought I Told You To Light The Bloody Fire!"

and there you have it. courtesy of Mei, for making me do this.
