Why do progressives have this obsession with inventing new words to describe X when we already have words to describe X?

I remember back in the 2010's, the word "Problematic" was being trotted out for almost fucking everything and anything these pansies had an issue with, and it really annoyed the fuck out of me because I can list of a bunch of other words off the top of my head that could be used to describe the thing they were talking about
  • This is an issue
  • This is bad
  • This is not good
  • This is dumb
  • This is incorrect
  • This is stupid
The ONLY time I've ever heard that word before then was in a Strong Bad episode of all things, and even then it was a throw-away line that I had quickly forgotten about. The worst part was that they were sticking this word in video-game translations, regardless if it was fan or official.

Although I notice this word gets tossed around a lot in Academia (college and the sort), so it's safe to say that's probably where most of, if not all of, this word policing is coming from, which adds another reason why these institutions should either be reformed or just outright destroyed.

Chinese use English names because Chinese names are hard for English speakers to say. The practice started in Hong Kong because Britain controlled it and business was done in English. Japanese people usually don’t have English names because Japanese is easy to pronounce. It’s not really about assimilation. It’s pragmatic.

True for the Chinese but most Japanese Americans from the second generation onward have also adopted English names (Daniel Inouye and Doris Matsui and her late husband Bob Matsui being prominent examples in politics) Meanwhile I'm relatively sure 2nd and 3rd generation Indians will still be running around with names like Suckdeep Ramadingdong.

Crypto bros and Commodity traders both look at each other like retards but the reality is they are both 2 sides of the same coin, they both shit all over the dollar and preach about its coming "Dollar Demise" yet ALWAYS value their given product in USD

its hilarious, in a single comment you will see one of them go

"See chud, this is why gold/bitcoin is going to destory the dollar, on day it will be worth a million dollars an ounce or per coin"

If the dollar collapses are you going to start shaving off little shavings of gold for bread?

I think what alot of people seem to forget is the concept of currency period, not what the currency is but its sheer concept can only exist in a "organized society" you need to have regular and high volume SAFE trade to justify haveing a unified medium of exchange, over time we have learned that that medium needs to be, easy to transport, hard to replicate(forge), and be non perrishable. Gold just fit that bill very very well, it was damn near impossible to make a "fake" of gold that even a semi competent merchant cant spot and its easy to transport as opposed to say, 40,000 bushels of wheat.

In more modern times we have realized we can do the SAME concept with special paper and then even more recently we have found we can do the same with special bits of code.

None of this things, the gold, the paper or the code have any "intrinsic value" even if you want to argue any one of them has "utility" thats not the point, they only have the VALUE we wish to give them, or put more succinctly

"Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it"

If the dollar collapses, who is going to want your gold? people are going to want food, shelter and clean water like we always have, will the gold have value again as society gets rebuilt? sure, but thats 2 steps ahead of where we are at, the crash and survival period are not doing to be times where you get to sit around your safe and count your stacks.
 
I was listening to some of the audio from Bessent's appearance in Congress the other day, and I have to say that Maxine Waters is one of the most obnoxious members of the House. She looks like a dried fish, she talks worse than RFK Jr, and she's dumb as a stump.

The point of calling something problematic is that you can declare a problem without specifying what the problem is. It is LIKE a problem

Trade offer: I receive high purity copper from my high density urban mining operation, You receive crack. One problem with this operation is that when I put out ads looking for more strippers I get scantily clad women with no tools showing up.

yeah, that "the entirety of human history through multiple collapses across the entire planet no matter the culture" was probably just a fluky thing from covid and USAID money
nobody really wants that shit
 
I just finished filing my taxes and as always it was a confusing cluster fuck of nonsense that makes me hate the government. How on earth can it be that I understand the tax regime of the roman dominate better than the US tax regime?
At least I'm not the only one. SecDef rummy didn't either:
rummy letter.webp

He sent this letter to the IRS with his taxes every year.

So essentially every time you're sick, you're rolling the dice on whether or not you wind up getting cured or more sick because the jeets don't give enough of a shit or have any fucking clue what they are doing. Even the ones that sound smart are just retards acting and trying to "fit in" with everyone else.

Not only this, but there's pharmaceuticals manufactured there too that have literally harmed, sometimes permanently or have even killed people because they can't be assed to practice basic quality control and hygiene.

Chinese culture is stupid. Most of them can’t lean Pinyin and has to speak some kind of hillbilly mush mixed with Mandarin. Everything there is like “Ooooaaweeeooo, we are about honor and inner cultivation.” When they chain smoke third world cigs and eat rancid dog dicks. They think battles in the real life play out like a Chinese king-fu flick and not like MMA fight. They think people blaming them for covid and human right abuses is bad “because America does it too!” Thankless fucks who should suck our balls with a grin for helping them in WW2, but chinks can’t understand concepts like “gratitude” and “modesty”.

Chinese culture and history;

From caveman times fight each other nonstop and make gay poems that make zero sense. Once a blue moon done emperor wins then destroys the country via corruption or a foot fetish

Get wrecked by Mongolians.

Get wrecked by Koreans.

Get wrecked by Japanese.

Get scared by Russians threatening them, so they build an underground homosexual city.

Currently complains nonstop about being gay

In short, better than India, but still inwardly gay. Good at slapstick humor though.

Quick question: Why are there so many "conservatives" planning to watch the Superbowl? I've had the misfortune of being in the room when my folks watching Fox News and so many self-professed "culturally conservative" personalities are either planning to watch, have tickets themselves, or are planning to take their children. Discounting the 15+ years of anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-White behavior from the NFL, this is all done in full knowledge that the half time show is being performed by a gay Puerto Rican anti ICE rapper who plans to perform entirely in Spanish, wear a dress, and kiss a man on stage.

Why is there no movement for a boycott? Is nothing worth missing out on a minute of precious niggerball?

Most "conservatives" have zero self respect and are eager to put their open mouths under the asshole of progressives in eager anticipation of the shit that is going to come out later. Anyone who gives a fuck about sportsball, especially handegg, outs themselves as a self-loathing retard at this point. Unfortunately, I just described the average neocon. The only positive of sportsball is that it helps you filter out smoothbrains.

People watch the Superbowl for three reasons :

1) They love football that much
2) Team loyalty
3) The commercials
Click to expand...
4) tradition. The teams have been lackluster, the commercials aren’t funny anymore (because being funny is offensive), and the halftime shows are outright terrible. People watch it because it gives them a reason to have a party and pretend the following day is a holiday.
 
To mildly sperg. Indian guys at the gym are people I can’t help, but be astounded at how they always seem to follow preset patterns: two guys working out in attire that doesn’t fit (bench press in polo and khakis), old man who looks like a cancer patient using a machine poorly or wrong, dysgenic Indian that I honestly think is a pooner because of how short they are, and guys who are very obviously leering at women (they’re always fucking behind chicks on the stairmaster).

The few Indian guys who actually are there to work out dress like white or black guys. Either sweats, autistically, or in proper attire.
