Malists

Malists are individuals who adhere to a philosophical or ideological framework often referred to as Malism. While specific interpretations can vary, Malism generally centers on the rejection of traditional societal structures, established norms, and often, prevailing political or economic systems. A core tenet frequently associated with Malism is a profound disillusionment with or outright opposition to what is perceived as systemic corruption, inequality, or oppression within existing power dynamics.

Adherents may advocate for significant societal restructuring, though the precise nature of this restructuring is not universally defined. Some interpretations lean towards radical individualism, emphasizing personal autonomy and self-sufficiency. Others might explore communal living or alternative forms of social organization that aim to circumvent or dismantle mainstream institutions. Malism is not a monolithic movement and can encompass a spectrum of beliefs and practices, with individuals drawing upon various intellectual traditions to inform their perspectives. Discussions within Malist circles often involve critiques of consumerism, conformity, and the perceived limitations imposed by societal expectations. The term itself is not widely recognized in academic discourse and is more commonly found in informal online communities or subcultures where individuals explore these shared sentiments.
