The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

This is the problem with the degenerate society that the #woke liberals and progressives are violently propagating. Crass comedy of the past is now a statistically significant predictor of the current and near-future reality. 🙄

Yes, every single right-thinking, sane American finds it incredibly hard to believe that, as a country, we seem to have degenerated to the point where a parent is allowed to chemically castrate their child – at a minimum – but spanking – or applying almost any form of discipline – is considered abuse.

Societies are a lot like species. Progress aka Evolution more often than not results in something weaker and more easily domesticated deriving from a stronger, more independent past when evolution was allowed to progress without the controls and guidance of Intelligent Design. 😉
What has been happening in the West vs. what has not been happening in the East are the perfect example and control group for this.

AOC’s degeneracy is a perfect symbol for the degeneration and decline in anything resembling American thought amongst the younger, dumber Democrats. It only took two generations for AOC to be spawned and then to blithely turn JFK’s famous speech to the world on its head.
And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

That was back in 1961. But now it’s 2023 and things, especially Democrats, are not the same. They’re not even close to the same, with thing’s like AOC being poor mockeries of even Democrat form and function.
“I ask you to think about the last time a person said — has said in this country that the government does too much for them.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad when a Dem will stand before Congress and blithely say things like that. But, it’s simply a sign of the times and the escalating degeneracy of those that identify as Democrats.

Modern safety warning are quite ridiculous seeming. But, remember this, they’re needed because, not only did someone do that form of stupid, they sued the company after it went poorly for them. 🙄
Yeah, it’s a Mark Twain sort of thing. It’s good, even needful, to laugh at this. But, that’s mostly to keep from weeping or going into a rage against the degeneration of our society.
