The act of labeling an opponent's position or something one disagrees with as "pseudoscience" based on criteria that extend beyond mere scientific methodology into the realms of politics, economics, ideology, or lobbyist influence. It's a rhetorical move (a blend of "pseudoscience" and "calling") designed to discredit and exclude certain discourses from legitimate conversation. Pseucalling is frequently deployed against dissident, counter-hegemonic, anti-capitalist, or non-Western perspectives, using the epithet of "pseudoscience" as a social and professional weapon to enforce conformity and marginalize challenges to established power structures.
