"Basic Economics"

My intuition tells me this is a very USAian midwestern phrase --is this right?

"I think"
"I"
"Think"

"Brexit".

Though I was aware of the major political events from which it originated, I first saw this word on 4chan, and thought that it was a new memephrase for "bro exit".

>>16557013
"People of color" is an enigma to me. It's offensive to say "colored people", but "people of color" is now seen as the most politically correct term.

It's like if we decided to stop saying "retarded people" and instead say "people of retard."

>>16557752
*"people of retardation"

>>16557667
Oh that's fucking great, now we have another fucking namefag on this board

Not a phrase but the word "gaslight" has been used way too often the past 5 or so years (often improperly as well).

«Listen here champ, that's short for champion by the way»

If no wants to watch the tape, sure. I guess they don’t believe in Now being an experience.

I hate this so much. If you do need an informal starter, how about “so...” or “well...”

Very few people "deserve" anything. Myself included.
Sadly advertisers have convinced everyone they deserve to be treated like royalty 24/7
Likewise:

"Colored" is a participle, which gives the impression that they are actively "colored in" as if by a crayon, they passively "the colored". Also, with "people of color", people being first, is the assertion that one is indeed a person.

This is /lit/, I thought you people understood simple rhetoric. /pol/ has literally melted your fucking brains.

>that really resonated with me

Using the word “romp” as a way to described in many gaming articles these days.

But so are white people? You can get a skin coloured crayon in a pack of 24?? Everyone is a colour but the phrase is alienating whites because they aren't relevant

>I feel that 'xyz'

>>16564389
Americans are fucking stupid and can't into words.

It all started with referring nonwhites, blacks in particular, as "colored", but then that became a bad word so they say "people of color" as if it's such a vast fucking jump in difference.

At the end of the day they need a fancy term for anyone who isn't white, everything humanly possible is measured against whiteness in America.

>>16564403
At least they're immediately asserting that what they have to say is their opinion and subject to their unique experience. That should be implied, but you'll be surprised by how often retards will say, once you've said your own bit (of whatever topic), "Look I understand that's your opinion and all, but you're saying it like it's a fact." In such cases, this retard will make you feel stupid and embarrassed because you didn't explicitly state, "This is my perspective."

>>16564434
Man, you just regurgitated everything that's been said so far and made no further point.

>>16564963
It's the worse when someone "I feels that" after you state a fact.
My brother and his girlfriend always do it when it comes to talking about nutrition and biology.
It also doesn't help when I can't stand hearing people's opinions - I can't even stand my own opinions.

> otherness / othering / etc.

From you r post, seems like "/pol/" made people consider the actual semantic content instead of being easily misguided by cheap rhetoric.

Had a lot of job interviews recently, and the group discussions were full of this crap. Made me realise how much America has destroyed our language.

>So, ...
>Yeah, (with feminine intonation)
>I'm with you on that.
>*conspicuously using people's names

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
