Neonormalization
Some Czech philosophers like Václav Bělohradský and Stanislav Komárek use the term "neonormalization" (neonormalizace) for a stage of Czech society in the post-communist period, which is compared with torpidity and hypocrisy of 1970s and 1980s.
Václav Bělohradský in his book Společnost nevolnosti (Slon, 2007) calls "neonormalization" the direction since 1992 that all alternative opinions are crowded out, a culture shifts into the trash of entertainers, next the deepening of democracy is blocked, the public space is infested with right-wing ideology and Czech Republic participated in all sorts of nefarious wars.
Stanislav Komárek, a philosopher and biologist, in many his articles since 2006 popularizes his opinion that in certain stages of society development, the administrative and formalistic aspect (or the "power of mediocres") outweighs a common sense, creativity and utility,. Pressure for conformity intensely rises and every is obliged to "sell his soul" to keep up in social structures. This neonormalistic period in the Czech Republic is starting "after 20 years of freedom", it means about in 2010 year, in Komárek's view.
This term is discussed and used by many other authors.
