I want to get off this ride.

everyone with a twitter account should be shot and dumped in a mass grave

if i somehow became a billionaire the first two things i would do would be to purchase twitter and reddit and wipe any trace that they ever existed off the internet

>>15768377
y’all is so fucking stupid
I don’t even care if people say it IRL but you have to such a tryhard faggot to actually write it down. It’s only gotten a lot more popular on social media in the last 5 years or so too. It’s not a natural thing to write, at some point people have to pause, reconsider what they were going to write and insert y’all instead.
It’s not even an attempt to mimic their own, real speech. Nobody in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic US that i’ve ever met has said y’all except a person who was literally from Texas and another from South Carolina who moved here in their 20s.

>>15768377
Why is everyone on Twitter so fucking retarded? More retarded than the most retarded individuals on 4chan.

>>15768442
then they'd all just come here you retard. or some new sites would pop up and you would have wasted billions.

>>15768377
>using twitter

That more or less happened with Vine. All that happened was the Chinese Communist Party came in with a clone within two years.

Heard someone here in Ireland say it once. Felt like slapping the cunt. We say "ye" here. Fucking ingrates

>>15768483
That is awkwardness personified. This guy needs stance training

>>15768377
>You guys
you fucked up, person.

>>15768442
I'd do the same with 4chan desu

Immediate and wholesale extermination of the screeching victim classes. Arent you sick of the ceaseless screeching of their shrill, evil marginalised voices? Smash cultural marxism! Hail Victory!

you know how gays all fall into that certain pattern of movement, like limp wrists and shit? this is like that but the guy thinks he's a child instead of a faggot, so he emulates a child's behavior, possibly for sexual reasons, such as wanting to attract some kind of mommy gf, and not in an explicit way, but the kind of woman who is so fucked in the head she looks for a child-like man she can manipulate easily.

>>15768474
This shit always pisses me off. Yes Orwell was a socialist but he was also a massive social conservative and was regarded by the British Left of the day as king of the awkward squad, arch-contrarian nonpareil.

>>15768377
Of course.

In fact, when I'm not here on 4chan, where the populace is too intellectualy backwards to grasp such avant-garde thinking, I strive to only communicate through grunts.

Grunts, as you know, are universal: they don't discriminate, they include everyone, and it's but a matter of time until my grunting repertoire reaches levels of meaning no dictionnary could even dream of.

>I’m a good little replica here to serve primary’s big cock

No, doesn’t work

>>15768575
you jest but i actually fucking do this. i've literally just gotten too lazy over the years to come up with lies to pretend like i fit in at work so whenever people start talking about gay shit that i hate i just give grunts of approval or if they complain i give a grunt of empathy.

>>15768377
I have this theory that language will be the final barrier of genuine culture to go, since it is the most deeply embedded in everyday life - it will be a long and arduous process, but I'm quite sure 200 years or so in the future people will be speaking some form of esperanto 2.0, an artificial, dumbed down, and vocabulary-wise muttified language that will finish the process the industrial revolution started.

>>15768512
in England i have encountered people who sometimes speak in an affected american accent.

>>15768377
prog language is so dehumanizing. any attachment to life before 2020 needs to be obliterated, no references to the family or having distinct sexes or not being a fucking silicon valley bugman who says y'all and FOLX despite being from wisconsin. the US government should seize seize all media & social media companies and shut them down.

>>15768570
Yeah that makes sense actually. Something akin to the basedmouth thing. An attempt to convey "I'm not a threat. Look how fun I am" etc

>>15768616
its called ebonics and its already happening.

>>15768625
It's pathetic, isn't it. I instantly lose almost all respect for someone if I hear that.

>>15768700
ebonics is based as it is the natural thread of language. prescriptive liberal bullshit however is not.

>>15768700
Well, the normalization/legitimization of ebonics is definitely a step in that direction, but what I'm thinking of is the complete replacement of organically developed languages with a singular artificial one.

>>15768709
will I be made fun of in European countries for being American?

>>15768698
I think basedmouth is self-conscious dudes who have seen a picture of themself with a pervy looking smile because they don’t know how to mug for photos and they never got over it

Redpill me on why americans say "you guys's" instead of 'your'.

E.g "see your team in the playoffs" vs "see your guys's team in the playoffs".

I hear it all the time on YT

>>15768377
Uncle Teddy was right

>>15768738
sometimes i think about going to italy and joining the mafia or japan and joining the yakuza and they call me "the american."
"call in the american."

>>15768784
because there is no distinction between singular and plural second person. it used to be 'thy' for singular, in which case 'your' would indicate the plural. Since 'your' is now used for the singular 'you guys's' has been substituted for plural.

>>15768792
>call in the Weeb

>>15768784
You and your are usually used as singular and "you guys/your guys'" is used as plural since also using you or your as plural (which is still done) can sound weird to people.

>>15768784
because "your" is never really considered plural, so if you're talking to two people and say "your" you'll just look like you're being a dick and ignoring one of the people. i just say
>your guys'

>>15768784
>your guys's
No one really says this. The closest equivalent would be something like “youse guys” which is a bit of Mid-Century Brooklyn phonetics that went out of fashion with the Little RascalS

>>15768841
I say it and most people I mean say it. On the other hand I've never in my life heard anyone outside of a movie say youse guys.

State mandated y'alls.

>>15768377
I'm glad they are finally getting rid of the term "dummy value". I always found it extraordinarily offensive to me and my kind.

>>15768846
I’ve heard plenty of people say “your guys” but never heard anyone add an extra s at the end of “you guys” to make it possessive or whatever like “you guys’s” which I guess would be pronounced like “you guises”

>>15768846
Because its outdated and nonsensical, thats the point
Like how “you guys's“ makes no sense and nobody says it

>>15768877
It's "yous guys".

>>15768807
Kek

>>15768877
I say "your guys'", which would be your guises if I wrote it like your second example. "You guises" would be weird, I agree. Might be used in like New York or New Jersey maybe. Sounds kind of like what people there might say. "Yous" or maybe "Yous guys" is apparently said in some places (there's also "yins") but I've never heard anyone say those.

>>15768889
>>15768841
Nobody says "you guys's, you brain dead retards. They say "you guys'"

>>15768377
When does the woke cultural revolution end?

>>15768907
Within 20 years, hopefully we look back at this time and laugh.

>>15768918
Extremely optimistic. This is the future our overlords have chosen.

>>15768918
>it'll all be over by Christmas

>>15768938
By 2021 people saying “you guys” right now will be talked about the same way they talk about people that said “Freedom Fries” in 2003

>>15768957
>>15768918
What both rightists and marxist nostalgics ignore is that this sorts of Progressive managerial therapeutic discourses are a really effective means for creating an atomised yet undifferentiated mass of consumer wageslave matter.

If we change language, do we change to suit it? Actually interested in this idea although i dont quite believe it. Any further reading?

>>15768918
I'm laughing right now

>>15768907
It ends when white people can no longer be used as a catch-all for the rest of the world's grievances. If you dick around various non white social media bubbles you will quickly notice that "POC" are anything but a united front, they constantly bicker with and despise one another, and the rhetoric that is levied at white people gets played out identically by black people against asians and latinos. Likewise the response you get from asians and latinos toward these accusations closely mirror the counter-arguments employed by various white people. Crime statistics, accusations of reverse-racism, etc.

There is no unity, just a shared enemy. It leads me to believe that the existence of white people may be the one thing that is actually preventing race wars in the developed world.

>i told you i was retired

None of this will ever work. As soon as you try to create a euphemism, people will just change their language to suit, because stigma and punishment won't change how people think. Kids use the word "special needs" as an insult, even though it was a substitute for "retarded", which was a substitute for "dunce", which was a substitute for "idiot", all of which is just a proxy for "I am dominant in this situation". Bend the language too far and people will find other ways to let out their aggression: see Zizek's comments about racism in the military and jokes, or just consider the cathartic, pacifying use of gallows humour for the freshly-deployed.

The aim here is to make us angry. The correct response is to continue to use the words whenever it comes naturally so they stay normalised and relax when people pretend they give a shit. Obviously this is way harder when you want to actually work, but there is nothing else to do. It also doesn't help the cause when you have retards saying nigger cunt fuck bullshit all the time making everyone who uses them seem like social degenerates and children.

I'm a literal faggot and I still use words like "faggot" or "gay" to describe people or things I have a lot of contempt or dislike for.

This guy's stance is awkward due to his awkward constitution and composition. His body is built like a fridge, if not a right-side-up pyramid. Obviously your arms will stick out if your shoulders are narrower than your waist, and the fact that they're short doesn't help. It's best not to make fun of other's appearance. We're not living in a life-affirming Iliad fantasy, we're living in the real world. Be polite with others, or you'll get what you dole out. Big egos get toppled by bigger egos, like dominos

>>15768377
they're changing language for the reason language is always changed, to manipulate people.
Gurdjieff did this. a lot of charlatans do.

>>15768918
even if we're in concentration camps.

>>15768467
well imagine you grew up with the word y'all. It'd be in your phones swipe dictionary by now. I literally don't think twice about saying or typing y'all, as it's the shortest and easiest version of "you (plural)" out there

C'mon now y'all, give it a try. Let it roll off your tongue. You'll feel so deliciously white trash and naughty

his stance is completely correctable and is most likely the result of a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise, not to mention the fact that he's overweight and possibly even obese by the looks of it. all of these things should be rebuked because they are a sign of sloth. its not like we're making fun of him for being ugly or bald or something, its that he's horribly unfit. its the same thing with soiface, we're not making fun of them for being ugly, we're making fun of them for being retarded and not having a modicum of self respect or dignity. not only that, but they are actively degrading society by popularizing such degrading lifestyles and propagating such dehumanizing beliefs and lack of virtue, and we are actively fighting against this degeneracy by rebuking him and everything he believes in front of the youth on the cultural/memetic stage.

>>15769203
concentration camps would be based as fuck though. imagine if they rounded us all up and put us in camps, it would be fun as fuck and we'd never have to deal with normalfags again.

Can't wait to start calling niggers Denied Americans.

"Careful, we're entering a denied neighborhood"
"Boy this train car is getting awfully denied, let's move cars"
"Omg no I don't want to train the denied person, let me get an allowed one"
