Julgeolekuliste

Julgeolekuliste is a term that has appeared in discussions related to political and social movements, particularly in Estonia. It is a neologism, meaning a newly coined word. The term is derived from the Estonian words "julge" meaning brave or bold, and "olek" meaning state or being, with the plural ending "-ulised". Therefore, "julgeolekuliste" can be interpreted as "those in a state of boldness" or "the bold ones".

The usage of the term is often associated with individuals who express strong, sometimes confrontational, opinions or take decisive actions, particularly in contexts where they perceive a need for a more assertive stance. It is not a formal or academic term but rather one used in informal discourse, often within specific online communities or social circles. The connotation of the term can vary depending on the context and the speaker's perspective, sometimes carrying a positive or admiring tone, and at other times a more critical or even dismissive one. Its emergence reflects a desire to label or categorize a particular type of active and outspoken individual within a given social or political landscape. The exact boundaries of who constitutes a "julgeolekuliste" are fluid and depend on the subjective interpretation of the individuals using the term.
