Kashchenism

Historically, Kashchenist style uses many words and idioms of Jewish origin; in conversations, Kashchenists often pretend to be Jews, in order to troll antisemites while also causing others to make excuses to prove that they are not antisemites.

Kashchenist style also typically uses medical terms, especially from psychiatry; this is because Kashchenists consider themselves jocularly as "network psychiatrists", and imitate either medical staff or, conversely, patients in a mental hospital.

The word "Kashchenism" also denotes a philosophy of people who use Kashchenist style in electronic conversations.

Kashchenism originated as a FidoNet echo conference SU.KASCHENKO.LOCAL (SKL) created by Vladimir "MedBrat"[1] Timofeev in 1998.

[2] Also, there is a digest of the Kashchenist ideology formulated in three phrases, a kind of Kashchenists motto; the phrases are: The same in Russian (as it is written in an upper part of every page of kaschenko.ru): Since those slogans, written in Russian, contain eight words containing 99 letters in total, Kashchenists often abbreviate their motto as 8/99, and use this abbreviation as a greeting (which is in turn a mockery of the Nazi greeting 14/88).
