Shitizen (shit + citizen)

“Shitizen” (shit + citizen) is a term for a citizen (a non-elite member of society) who knows shit and/or is treated like shit. “I ain’t drunk and I’m a good s-shitizen— “was cited in print in 1939, but the term “shitizen” became popular in the 2000s with the rise of the Internet. A newspaper called the Citizen has been nicknamed Shitizen since at least 1997.
 
“Sheeple” (sheep + people) is often used the same way as “shitizen.”

The posted material WAS NOT ABOUT that which you wish to promote, but about the realities you wish to ignore yourself and to suppress by appointing yourself to the ‘esteemed’ position of ‘censor’; typical of the old USSR and communist states practices where their ‘shitizens’ were kept in the dark.

Shitizen Journalism
Prologue: Before reading any further, let the record show that Andy Curran, Associate Professor at The University of Cincinnati, coined the phrase “shitizen journalism” and its derivative, “shitizen journalist”, on Tuesday, December 23, 2008, at approximately 8:05 pm, Eastern Standard Time. This blog post will serve as the official time stamp. Although the term “shitizen” has been used by others, there is no record of it being used as an adjective before the words “journalism” or “journalist.” If you used either phrase before the aforementioned date and time, tough ****. I’m staking a claim to them and I will take full credit for coining them. Now read on for an explanation.
 
Urban Dictionary
shitizen
Shitizen (n.) can refer to those people who are officially citizens but treated unjustly by their government as if they are just indentured servants or even slaves.
When this meaning is used, often it is conveyed with compassion or self-mockery.
They say we are citizens, we know we are shitizens.
In our great Celestial Empire, if you are born to be a shitizen, you will be a shitizen here forever. Go abroad, my friend, only the dumbs remain.

Propaganda spreads anti ethnic Russian racism amongst the UA cattle-shitizens. But the RU mongoloids and muslimoids are as stupid, immoral.
