and that's who you're trying to convince, not the other person
exactly
I think what you described is the method by which I'd suggest I am asking for action on
I'm not looking for the strategy or method right now, just the idea that we should be protecting the language from bastardisation
which I do agree with (sorry if I didn't make that clear) - just that I think it's mostly impossible while the marxists are in the schools
So my position here is that we resit the redefinitions in every place we can
not so much that we should copy their tearing at the defintions
mainly that we should put up a wall and start defending
I think that loses the viewers though
rather than just allowing them to slip their bullshit into our lives
So again, if I'm talking purely on the idea of what to do, and not how to do it
if we don't argue our definitions but rather simply state them as fact, then we skip that step.
how to do it could be done anyway
I would accept stating the fact as the argument in itself
I think I'm using the word argument in a different way to you are
which is a semantic argument in itself XD
exactly 😛
I'm using argument in the way in which anything that from a statement to what we're doing now is an argument
the attempt to convey something
yeah, understood. I'm thinking of hour longe debates where the participants simply dance around issues without ever discussing the facts of the issue, because they spent so long defining terms and saying 'oh that's not how I understand that word'
this would be the method, by which i'm not interested in right now
looks like we've found our common ground
if people can start coming in saying "here's my preferred dictionary as reference, let's begin" then any deviation is a derailment dodging the question - you win. and fair enough to not have much interest in the tactics but that's just my strategic outlook on life thinking for me before I state my position
I'm thinking, JBP method of opposing the bastardisation
as the main reference point for this idea, however, i am again in favor of anything atm
peterson goes alright when presented with hostility, but I actually think he flops when the host is civil. it's attack and defense, and I think he doesn't switch quickly enough
but yea I'm going to leave it there
oshit.. doctors office staff in brighton closed cos they found coronavirus
rip pewdiepie
actually .. I think quite a lot of youtubers live in brighton
Yeah, I'm not gonna debate JBP because his likeability is depending on what you think about what he says - however, I think his defense of words - as you say, when he's under attack - is something to watch and maybe emulate.
SNP is such a joke
damn 😦 we lost https://twitter.com/qikipedia/status/1226868420521545728?s=20
it's spreading
It will slow down eventually
hopefully
frankly inept handling of it by the authorities here so far
