Filibusterism

/ˈfɪlɪˌbʌstərɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The practice or system of using obstructive tactics in legislation, or the ideology supporting private military expeditions.

Etymology

From filibuster + '-ism', creating a noun describing the practice or belief system. Reflects both modern legislative practice and historical pirate/adventurer activities.

Kelly Says

Filibusterism is oddly organized chaos—there are actually unwritten rules about which tactics are acceptable, how long you can talk, and whether you need to stay on topic, making it a strange game with real consequences.
