What is happening to this community? Boomer, woman-bad, humor is running rampant. Get it off my lawn.

Hey, at least they didn’t use “slammed” again.

I’ve got a license to confuse. What’ve you got to lose?

Better update those years

stating that all devices that enter the Chinese network have something on the root changed so that it calls home and even reinstalling the OS can’t fix it.

Can someone with more expertise explain how this could be possible? Are you actually saying any device manufactured in China and sold within China have something changed? I don’t see how this could be true if your bringing your own device from outside into China.

Americans can have a little education, as a treat.

Yeah, no shit. Not justified by literally anything and everyone knows that.

What? That’s literally the opposite of what I’m saying… I’m saying words can have multiple meanings depending on context.
But the point of this was how does “liberal” having a different colloquial definition from how op was using it have anything do with “developing class consciousness” which can be done regardless of this single word?

Yes

Sometimes the evolution of language isn’t so much organic as it is a political project, such as a century of red scares and socialist purges.

Ok. But regardless of the cause, organic or political project, it doesn’t change the fact that the language has moved on correct?

We can’t simply use their terms, because their terminology is both muddled and lacking.

But there’s the rub. You/we ARE using their terms and the message is muddled and lacking BECAUSE OF the difference in perceived definitions. And as the past couple decades have shown there is zero chance of getting the American people to learn things, or unlearn as the case may be.

I assume very few people this far down a thread into a political discussion, on Lemmy, don’t know what the Overton windowS are and how fucked the US is because of the current far right position on the left/right scales. I find it lacking and dislike it’s libertarian origins. We are even now discussing the difference of a word being used for social vs economic ideas and these two scales do not necessarily overlap.

I’m not sure how colloquial vocabulary usage prevents developing class consciousness. I’d potentially argue refusing to accept the evolution of language and refusing to communicate to people in the terms they use and understand inhibits said deprogramming.
Again very US centric in this definition but it’s who needs deprogramming.

I’ll say it again, in the United States the term “liberal” is used to refer to liberal social ideas NOT liberal economic ideas. To the average US citizen left and liberal are synonyms. This doesn’t mean your definition isn’t correct for academics and the entire rest of the world. But this meme, and this left vs liberal argument for this post, are US based.

Is there a transcript with word wrap enabled anywhere?

I think that poster specifically looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.

Anecdotal but I have multiple physicians and specialists in our family and currently work at a hospital, and I’ve NEVER met a proctologist who wouldn’t find that hilarious and take a look.

Good thing the Democratic administration replaced DeJoy and passed some protections while they were in charge… oh. wait

YES! You make me sick.
And I’ll pay out the nose to be healed but not trust the cure thank you! That’s my right!

It’s not even a coup. He’s very close to winning the electoral college as it is because Americans are fucking idiots. It’s just going to be a procedural matter not a coup per se.

It hasn’t been a notorious gang sign since the early 2000s. It was already main stream with white kids doing it over 20 years ago.

That’s too bad
