Worth pasting the whole bit… This saved my life:

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing…kill yourself. It’s just a little thought; I’m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day they’ll take root – I don’t know. You try, you do what you can.

(Kill yourself.)

Seriously though, if you are, do.

Aaah, no really. There’s no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan’s little helpers. Okay – kill yourself.

Seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good.

Seriously.

No this is not a joke. You’re [going], “There’s going to be a joke coming.” There’s no fucking joke coming. You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself. It’s the only way to save your fucking soul. Kill yourself

Planting seeds.

I know all the marketing people are going, “He’s doing a joke…” There’s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend – I don’t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations. (Machi…) Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too: “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing? He’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market. He’s very smart.”

Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking, evil scumbags!

“Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now? He’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research – huge market. He’s doing a good thing.”

Godammit, I’m not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet. “Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill’s very bright to do that.”

God, I’m just caught in a fucking web.

“Ooh, the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market – look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…”

How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you?

“What didya do today, honey?”

“Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight.” [snores] “Yeah we just said, you know, is your baby really too loud? You know?” [snores] “Yeah, you know the mums will love it.” [snores]

Sleep like fucking children, don’t ya. This is your world, isn’t it?

There were a lot more langauges on those isles long before and during the [still ongoing] development of english, and during the empire connecting to more of the world more than any other in history… so, not so insular during its development.

Did that literally happen?

Or has actual fallen foul of another meaning change too now?

Playly not nice.

Tastes real goodly.

Good wrongliesterness.

Plasma?

Cow shit’s not that bad.

Don’t tell me that’s bullshit.

Is… is your reply sarcastic too? How far does this sarcasm uncertainuum go?

Gets my brain scrambling for what caring less than zero could be.

Negative care…

Turtles.

Antisemitism should always be the word for the racism against Jews

Nope. Not even that. [(Open to hearing any reasoning why though.)]

Like was just said [nearly well enough (because not all of them)] in what you replied to:

Incidentally, even in its more broadly accepted definition “antisemitism” itself is a bit of an etymological oddity, because “Semites”, or the Semitic people, are both Jews, Arabs and others… Judaeophobia is an alternative that is unquestionably specific to Jews/Judaism.

Imagine how nice it’d be if we mended language, undoing the Orwellianisms. We’d be able to communicate.

Wouldn’t that philosophy accelerate the corruption of language, not just across generations, but spreading separation amongst us in the present, until we’re just barking beasts lost without even any sound pretense of shared meaning communicated?

Dauntingly compelling advert for RP for the whole world. O_O

Everyone on mid-atlantic “accent”.

Or how long until “mid-pacific” chinglish?

For world peace.

O_O

Were they using literally like figuratively or were they using literally figuratively?

Just June?

Not every month?

I sometimes wish english had not drifted so far, and not been orwellianised so much, such that we’d still be able to read 18th century political philosophers, without pains.

… I suppose now we could get an LLM to rewrite (e.g.) Bakunin[1] in bro-speak, cat-speak, and memes.

[1: Oops! No, Bakunin’s 19th century[2]. William Godwin then.] [2: That’s worse, that already 19th century’s already getting unreadable. … How long until Orwell’s 1984’s unreadable?]

Can also contort it back into still kinda working the wrong way around by interpreting “have” as in consuming it, like synonym for eat.

Have you had your cake yet?

No?

Have it now.

Have your cake.

Had it?

Good.

Now eat it…

Cant?

Already had it.

… Cleverly unwrongs it.

Would be simpler if just said “cant eat your cake and have it”.

Or was.

Before I just brought up “have”'s ability to be a synonym for eat.

Totalitarian newspeak propaganda.
