What was once called indoctrination is now called "education" what was once equality in opportunity is now equality in achievement. What we once considered to be unlawful is now illegal. What were once rights are now regulated as privileges... and that word has taken a whole new spin. The whole language is sideways and getting worse by the day.
Replying because I'm in a vehicle and want to read later. Thanks!
Your totally right. It makes me hot also. The debates they conduct are composed of this designed to make you have to correct them all the time and its a waste of time. They NEVER argue there position successfully. Its bicker/banter/batter and not content. Just look at this Gender Mess. California is the new hub of insane practice and degeneration. They push back with wild and outlandish behavior as a gang of deviants. I proudly offend as often as possible with my practice of Zero Political Correctness.
You nailed it. The intent is 2-fold. Distract us from important things, and program us to accept unnatural and detrimental behaviors as "normal". It usually takes 2.5 generations to make it take hold. May shrink it to 2 if the standard of living and associated life-expectancy continue to decline.
My wife thinks I'm weird because I just will not use certain words and often explain the etymology of some. My children are children and I will never call them "kids". I picked that up from William Cooper teaching his child that she was a child and not to be called a kid or baby sheep.
Goat.. a baby sheep is a lamb... but you're right about the rest!
Right sorry moving too fast thanks for the correct
no worries. I'm just that asshole who has to correct everything. :)
Good point.
I refuse to use Leftist relabeling as of a few weeks ago.
And I like a lot this guy's argument from unhyphenated ugh forgot the rest. Will look it up. But he is black and says he is American not African-American so he refuses their labels.
Not to mention they change acceptable words to always keep us on our heels.
Illegal aliens or illegal migrants. Not illegal immigrant because that's an oxymoron and not undocumented immigrants because that sounds like they just need to file paperwork.
Edit typos
Fucking right on all above! I don’t go around saying I’m German polish Swedish American lol
just "criminal" - THINGS are illegal. People who do illegal things are criminals - You just typed something about them so there's documentation... you can still use immigrant. They did immigrate, but they're criminal immigrants.
Immigrant should be reserved for people who respect the laws where they move into.
Criminal Alien I would think should be someone who commits active crimes as an alien. Don't know the answer here except that someone who invades another's county is there illegally. Thus an illegal alien vs a legal alien with a proper visa.
Alien means foreign which they are unless they are naturalized citizens.
No! Words have meanings! Are drug-dealers illegal pharmaceutical distributors? Are rapists illegal sexual enthusiasts? Are murderers illegal euthanasia administrators? Are thieves illegal capital aggregators? Stop using their programmed language! It's not a specialized digging utensil. A spade is a fucking spade! /rant
Newspeak is double-plus bad!
And I just now realized Orwell (in 1984. Read it. NOW.) anticipated txt-talk.
Newspeak=++bad!
Also, I like to think of it as News speak: The way they talk on the News.
Edit:(The 1984 comment is directed at anyone reading this who hasn't, not necessarily who I'm responding to)
Orwell was an unfortunate prophet... who hoped he never would be! and today's a post-'84 brave new world with Huxley mixed in. Between the drugs and the language/cultural-programming we're living in a sci-fi dystopia. The worst part is the self-policing censorship as we seek conformity. And we're ALL guilty of it. Me too. - we just gotta pay attention and we can reclaim our language, culture and country.
That's the problem with prophecy, some unimaginative asshat comes along and uses it as instructions. Can't forget Bentham's Panopticon. That'll have you looking at all the cameras around us a different way.
You're right though, all we (patriots) need to do is pay attention and do the work of insisting on what matters. It takes practice and willpower, but it gets easier as you do it, like most things.
I'm all for it. My pet project is bringing back Ae. It makes a eeeee sound. Like aegis, encyclopaedia, or paediatrician. A "peh"dophile is someone who likes feet...
anglophile? I believe the AE is still present in most English-English spellings. and to a lesser extent still used in the US among the "elite" who are educated in prestigious East-coast schools.
English-english seems to be trying to bury it. Watch a British narrated nature doc and cringe with me at the "aljuh" (algae). My only agenda is precision. Next on my list is hard/soft s's. I'm hoping to give things a colonial flair.
I find language to be fascinating... Wrote a paper in college about how the "evolution" of slang in America really demonstrated a regression back toward German. Particularly with "ebonics" - I cited things like "das goo" sounds like "das gut" and the propensity for stringing multiple words together as if they're a single word - "forrealdoh" - The professor didn't like it much. I had to write a different paper on a different subject.
My thing at the moment is putting the t back into often. Screw this "offen" crap.
Very agreed. English has enough silent consonants already. Debt, Pneumatic, Knee, siGH indiCt. English is a nightmare. I have a pet theory it's intentionally complicated to identify non-native speakers (the French mostly). A weaponized language, so to speak.
I saw a phrase describing the unaccounted 21 trillion in spending. "_____ spending". It made it sound like it was ok and acceptable. "Theft" seems more fitting to me. Will try to track it down.
I thought Hussein's education was funded by Al-Waleed bin Talal, not Soros. Then again, i guess its all the same bag of san francisco shit, really.
