I’m having a tough time trying to read that, the first part is obviously 「ミスター スパーコル!」 (“misutā supākoru!”/mister sparkle) but the second part is hard to read, I think it says 「ハワー ワリーソ!」(“hawā warīso!”) but it doesn’t make any sense to me. Maybe the ハ is just missing a handakuten and it’s supposed to say “pawā”/power? But idk what the second one is supposed to be. Maybe クリーン (“kurīn”/clean)? But that’s a stretch.

The Red Scare happened because it threatened the American ruling class, and America wasn’t occupied by Nazis in WW2 so they didn’t have the experience of being liberated by mostly leftist rebels. Immediately after WW2, communists and socialists were seen as liberators who freed various countries from Nazi rule, even in the UK where Winston Churchill lost re-election partly due to him going all-in on anti-communism (which the people didn’t like). As a result, Europeans were a lot friendlier to communism and were more open to adopting socialist policies. The US was both the leading capitalist power AND it was very distanced/separated from the oppression and rebellion against the Nazis, so they just saw communists as a threat.

never thought of “poop os” but I think Pop!_OS is a stupid name, it’s the only reason I avoided it and chose Nobara instead lol

i’m from georgia. can confirm, i don’t think there’s ever actually been an earthquake where i live in its entire history, but i have had my sleep stiffled by many hurricanes

you can probably just use python (pandas or something) or an equivalent in other languages

why, god

The easiest (although not best) example for Italy is the PM. The previous center-left politicians in office were by no means perfect PMs, but the left’s infighting and the ensuing breakup of the coalition of various left and center-left parties caused Draghi to resign, and the next (and current) PM is Giorgia Meloni who is an actual fascist who has on multiple occasions reminisced of the good old days with Mussolini in charge and a good economy. Nowadays with hindsight people miss the preceding leftist PMs and think they were actually pretty good after all, but it’s too late for that. The country has already started a tumble towards the right and it’d be extremely hard to get it out, especially considering that the left still is refusing to work together.

There were other factors, such as the left in Italy generally tending anti-Ukraine and the population’s concerns about immigration, as well as the right focusing a lot on anti-LGBTQ rhetoric/paranoia (Italy is a very catholic nation so this was an effective strategy), but the most important factor and the ultimate killing blow was the left breaking apart.

I’m not sure what you mean by “the Liberals” but I’m not referring to pre-WW2. I’m referring to right now. The current state of Italy. The one where leftists had the government, and then completely screwed up in the face of a rising right-wing threat because they decided they don’t agree with some of the things the other leftists were doing.

trusting leftists to do whats right

i can’t trust leftists because leftists are stupid. look how they lost italy, the leftists splintered and refused to work together because of petty shit which allowed the right including literal fascists to take over the government. this is the same type of dumb stuff that happens everywhere with leftists, because of their “holier than thou” attitude.

i will not leave the election’s outcome in the leftists’ hands because they always fuck it up when that’s the case. they always refuse to cooperate with the enemies of their enemy because they don’t see them as left enough, despite it being the only option to not have their long-term goals permanently blocked off, and the country always devolves into diet fascism afterwards. it has lost us many nations throughout history, so no thanks.

the iranians revolted… into another dictatorship…

and the french revolution ended swell! wait

what about the cuban revolution? oh god damn it

lol i’m just kidding, i can think of a few. the italian civil war and the libyan civil war, and technically the russian revolution and german revolution but i guess it helps when the government you’re fighting against is getting brutally beaten in a war against other countries. but i can’t say all of those ended in an extremely democratic system

Going through your recent comment history, you’re pathetic. Everyone is calling you out for being batshit insane lmao. I know “responsibilities” and “a job” are both foreign concepts to you, and I’m sure you think everyone can spend their time on Lemmy 24/7 just like you, but jesus christ… I consider myself an avid poster but you somehow have over 3x the comments as me. So yes, I didn’t have the time to watch the video you allegedly made (and I emphasize the allegedly).

There is literally nothing to suggest that you are any sort of expert or even trustworthy person when it comes to language, let alone whether “extravert” is “incorrect”. Based on your comments about it, the evidence all points in the opposite – you’re an expert of nothing except saying you’re totally “knowledgable”. Why do you think you’re better at language than the people who make dictionaries for christ’s sake?! Or the large amount of researchers who use the term “extrovert” in a formal setting, most of whom are experts in either 2nd language acquisition, linguistics/psycholinguistics, or psychology? How do you presume that they’re the incorrect ones for using what you deem to be the “wrong” spelling (out of two equally valid spellings), when you can’t even compare to their level of expertise? Rather than actually making these papers on psychology and linguistics, you’re LARPing as a high school English teacher online and saying stupid shit about language. I want to ask you what qualifications you have, if any at all? Do you even have any college education on linguistics? Can you even do so little as to read and write basic IPA transcriptions?

Why are you deleting half of the comments you’ve recently posted, after people respond to them with sources and actual arguments? There have been multiple in this thread. You’re obviously not very confident in them, they make you look absolutely embarassing. You do realize that on most front-ends, it doesn’t delete the entire thread below the deleted comment anymore, right? And the stupid responses are still available in the peoples’ inboxes.

What’s more likely, that almost every professional on language is wrong, or that you’re wrong? Are all the most credible dictionaries wrong?

The term prescriptivism refers to the ideology and practices in which the correct and incorrect uses of a language or specific linguistic items are laid down by explicit rules that are externally imposed on the users of that language. This ideology and its practices are now usually ascribed to nonlinguists or nonacademic linguists, whereas modern academic linguists, following Saussurean tenets, restrict themselves to the study and description of the structure of language and its natural use.

- Robert Straaijer, PhD in English Language & Literature, on Oxford Bibliographies

Answer it. Do you think a majority of linguistics professors and people with linguistics PhDs are wrong, and you’re somehow right?

Lmao you don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve had a significant amount of formal education in linguistics, considering I was specializing in computational linguistics. I’ve spent many years of my life specifically on linguistics, even before I started my degree which is linguistics focused, and said college education has significantly added onto it.

Every modern, accredited linguistics professor would laugh at your claims. The things you say sound like jokes to anyone with actual knowledge on dialectology and historical linguistics. Even a layman linguist would think you’re insane. Unfortunately your beliefs are also the same that a large portion of the poorly educated populace has, so even though it’s a stupid belief it’s still common for those not educated in linguistics.

You’re just throwing out ad hominem attacks because you have been clearly caught lying out of your ass about knowing multiple things (You can easily “read Germanic”? You think Old English/Norse and French writing is mutually intelligible with English writing to any significant degree? What???). You literally just Googled a random Old Norse manuscript and copy pasted one of the first paragraphs to try to come up with something to back up your claims.

You look silly. There is no more purpose in arguing with you since you clearly refuse to learn from your nonsense drivel being clearly torn apart. You can’t even follow up on your “promises”. Lol

These are definitely good reads for people like you, just to show you what people who have actual linguistics & culture knowledge think of the likes of you:

Maybe if you record your device on, say, chatgpt and make it generate random old english & old norse, and then attempt to translate them in real time, I’d believe you. But anyone can just pronounce a pretty consistent phonemic orthography ;)

It’s so funny seeing you flounder after being called out for your blatant lying lmao. “That’s why I wrote it in quotes”? What???

And it’s funny how you just looked up a random Old Norse text online and copied the first paragraph of the second chapter to try to pretend that you can back up your lies. And now your comeback is “b… but go back to high school! k-kid!”. Pathetic, you need to improve your bullshitting.

I actually read Old English without much effort, as well as the languages it originated from, particularly Old Norse, French, and Germanic.

Christ man you’re such a liar lmao. GERMANIC ISN’T A LANGUAGE. And certainly not a WRITTEN one. And English didn’t “originate” from French. Old English is unintelligible to Modern English speakers because it’s a completely different language, you are straight up lying through your teeth when you say you can read it fine, much less understand it. 85% of vocabulary in Old English isn’t even present in Modern English. Even more so with Old Norse lmao. French is very clearly unintelligible with English as well. French is literally my second language, so I can very easily tell you that. Why do you feel the need to blatantly lie about being able to understand other languages, including ficticious ones?

Degradation of language: misuse of language due to lack of education, erudition, or inclination. I can forgive some misinterpretation and adaptation, but that’s my issue. “Extro” does not make sense, unless someone got it wrong that one time and then spread it around until everyone was saying it wrong. That pisses me off, not to mention it makes me question Phyllis’s judgment on Jung’s corpus of work as a whole, she clearly didn’t read much of it.

That entire take is just silly. “Language degratation” is a lie sold to you by shitty middle school English Language Arts teachers.

“All living languages are continually undergoing change. Some commentators use derogatory labels such as “corruption” to suggest that language change constitutes a degradation in the quality of a language, especially when the change originates from human error or is a prescriptively discouraged usage. Modern linguistics rejects this concept, since from a scientific point of view such innovations cannot be judged in terms of good or bad. John Lyons notes that “any standard of evaluation applied to language-change must be based upon a recognition of the various functions a language ‘is called upon’ to fulfil in the society which uses it”.”

Again, your stance is seen as completely stupid in the realm of actual linguistics science.

There is a difference between a language evolving in response to changes in the environment or the human condition, and a language degrading into “barbar” because nobody bothered to learn how to speak, and thereby write, correctly. I believe that there are no 1:1 transmutations of words in such a manner which wouldn’t remove some amount of information, and the degradation of information is kind of a massive deal to humanity right now.

There isn’t a difference. How do you think sound change and many other forms of language change occur without this ““degradation””? Do you think that the transitions between languages just happen because God willed it and everyone just accepted it? No, people back then complained about language change in the same exact way that you are now. You are speaking a “bastardized” form of language by your own logic. Every word you speak is completely different from the “educated” proscribed speak of before. Almost none of the words you’re saying are being used in their ““original”” sense.

Let me ask, what does “begging the question” mean to you?

According to your anti-scientific logic, it should mean to approach a question and start begging to it.

I want to ask you again, do you think AAVE, Scottish English, and all other large dialect groups of English are incorrect? Do you think you’re better at linguistics than a majority of professional linguists?

“degradation of language” oh boy you’d hate to see how different English was 1000 years ago. Is modern English just a degradation of Anglo-Saxon? Or do we go even further back and say that all Indo-European languages are just degradations of PIE? You know that a large portion of the words that you use on a regular basis come from the exact process you describe right now, right? When exactly does normal language change become “degradation of lamguage”, is it just when you don’t like it?

Do you think that you know more about linguistics than every modern accredited linguist, to say that a certain type of language change in certain scenarios is “incorrect”? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogical_change

Maybe you should solve this worksheet to get a feel lol. https://homepage.rub.de/silke.hoeche/Aspects of Language Change/Analogy and morphological change.htm

Linguistics is first and foremost a science, which means you don’t look at what occurs in reality and call it “wrong”. It’s descriptive, not prescriptive, and you look silly to a majority of linguists if you act like a word like “extrovert” is wrong, ESPECIALLY when it’s standard usage.

You probably think that AAVE is just “bastardized English” or that Scottish people speak wrong English.
