Fauji Industrial Complex (FIC)

The Fauji Industrial Complex (FIC) refers to the Pakistan military’s expansive and controversial business empire, encompassing industries such as real estate, manufacturing, and energy. Critics argue this vast commercial network blurs the line between military and civilian spheres, concentrating economic power within the military, reducing transparency, and undermining democratic governance by allowing the military to exert substantial influence over Pakistan’s economy and policies.
Many believe the Fauji Industrial Complex (FIC) distorts Pakistan’s economy by allowing the military to control major industries, limiting fair competition and civilian oversight.

Hozier Complex

-A man who thinks he has comparable physical and/ or social attributes to musician and socio-political justice voice ‘Hozier’ (specifically in a way that is appealing to women) but is actually deeply problematic and needs to touch grass

-When a mediocre tall white man with long hair thinks he’s the world’s greatest feminist, musician, and empath. (He is just egotistically unstable, generally unformulated as an individual, took acid once, and heard a Hozier album.)
He played me “Work Song” on the guitar and then whined about paying for a Plan B- its his Hozier complex

Persecution Complex

In mental illness, it is a delusion where the person suffering believes there is a grand conspiracy that specifically targets them or individuals like them, akin to gang stalking. This conspiracy supposedly is trying to make their life hell and everything that goes wrong in life is caused by this mysterious group, sometimes it’s the government, celebrities or just random people (See Apophenia).

Or (what this focuses on), when it involves assholes, they usually have a persecution complex over what is reasonable backlash to their shitty behaviour, using DARVO, psychological projection, gaslighting techniques , nutpicking, strawman arguments (and other logical fallacies) and then playing the victim. Claiming to be the victim of unfair judgement and mistreatment, when they in fact do that and/or advocate for it. Simple resistance to injustice to them is like an attack.
Examples of a persecution complex:
Christian fundamentalists claim to be persecuted by the mainstream media for “their pro family values” (see dog whistle), when they spew bigotry towards many marginalized groups and usually get a pretty paycheck for it. (See Astroturf)

AI “““artists””” claiming to be the victim of artists, who simply just want to not be plagiarized and have the thing they love and spent years doing be a stable way of living and not be treated like worthless numbers by executives (see Activision, EA, Disney, and other shitty executives)

Men’s “““rights activists””” claim that men are unfairly being treated by women. When they in fact are huge misogynistic douchebags that make women dislike men. Same people who if they were to meet real victims of the loneliness epidemic (ie someone who suffers from crippling social anxiety) they would make it worse for that person calling them things like a “pussy” and giving superficial advice like “man up” whilst belittling them.

Following the death of Brian Thompson, many healthcare executives claimed that they were being unfairly treated by people on social media, when those said executives can do the exact same thing that happen to Brian on a bigger scale and get away with it (thanks to lobbying).

Complexity Cliff

Complexity Cliff (in GenAI)
noun: A critical threshold in generative AI where reasoning models (e.g., Claude, DeepSeek-R1) collapse under high-complexity tasks, shifting from accurate problem-solving to complete failure, as coined by Sadagopan S of HCLTech in June 2025.
"Our GenAI tool/model hit the complexity cliff when it couldn’t handle the multi-variable forecast—time to blend in human oversight!"

Strategy Industrial Complex

The term coined by Sadagopan Singam refers to the self reinforcing ecosystem of research firms, consulting companies, analysts, and influencers that shape and often amplify corporate narratives - especially around emerging topics like GenAI, Digital Transformation,ESG and Innovation Strategy etc. It represents how these players mutually benefit from creating frameworks, maturity models, buzzwords, and “thought leadership” which companies feel compelled to adopt, often without sufficient diligence or grounding in real business impact!
The strategy industrial complex thrives on fear based messaging - if you are not on the latest trend, you are behind - creating a self sustaining demand for playbooks and advisory services!
