When they say Ron Jeremy has a big dick they weren't teaching about dick size, they're teaching you how to defend dicks.

It may be related to the same type of crazy that makes people go Sov-cit - "Language doesn't mean anything, it's just a social contruct that applies meaning to meaningless face noises. We just ascribed ways of expelling air from our faces with deeper meaning in order to control the populous. I can't hold a word in my hands, therefore it isn't a real thing." It's like when people think that paper money isn't real just because it has the phrase "The bearer of this note is entitled to the sum of £10" and thinking it's just an IOU from the government, and that that makes Gold more valuable as a base for currency.

I've made that previous point myself about the phrases on the money, but when I do it it's a loving joke. Basically the only way that comics mother will listen is if her daughter got all her cigarettes in a pile and set them on fire right in front of her because that is a Deed and therefore actually meaningful.

I mean there is that idea that language is essentially software, and that the “programming” that comes with a language introduces biases in the way we perceive or think about the world. It was one of the ideas behind Arrival, Babel-17, etc. I think in a way that’s what she is going on about. She’s taking it way into crazy territory though.

And then what? Do we spontaneously gain the ability to communicate in non-verbal telepathic communion? Or do we just sit around being unable to communicate to each other while civilisation falls down around our ears?

At first I thought she was making some misaimed point about political correctness, but having delved further into the madness, I think her point is literally that language is something like the fall of man, and everything would be utopian if we didn't have it. :psyduck:

She reposts the same comics a lot, but they're mostly in reply to other tweets and things. She seems to have a hateboner for Trudeau and CBC News.

There seems to be four main things she keeps repeating:

1) money isn't real
2) animals and people aren't different things
3) cancer and disease doesn't exist
4) people wear clothes but words can't so how can People exist? (I'm a bit shaky on this one)

I think she might be a regulation crunchie run through a heavy filter of mental illness. My brain hurts trying to parse all this though.

I was gonna bring this up too because I loved Ray Stevens as a kid and watched him lose his mind post-9/11, but Ahab the Arab was pretty bad all along. That one seems like it's not trying to be malicious though, more..."hey, it's the 70s and this is completely acceptable at this current point in history and race relations, ha ha arabs are different and talk funny" - aka a product of its time, however incredibly racist "its time" happened to be. Most of his older stuff didn't really take that tack. Ahab came out in 1972 though, and despite the goon tradition of picking apart everything in the context of 2017 I'm personally willing to give it a pass and just never listen to it again and shove it into the grand bank of things from the 70s that were terrible by virtue of being a product of the 70s. Shriner's Convention and Mississippi Squirrel Revival are still good :shobon:

Osama Yo Mama and the post-9/11 stuff is just godawful though, and I've lost almost all respect I used to have for him :(

e: Dennis Miller makes me equally sad because The Rants was a great album and he used to be pretty drat progressive and had some really good takes for the mid 90s and then...*extended fart noise*

The Streak actually topped its year for most weeks at #1 on Billboard, let that sink in for a moment.

Also I had almost completely forgotten about Stevens until an ad for a godawful redneck direct-to-video movie appeared on TV, it was incredibly cringeworthy.

Mormons are super into geneology and racial purity has been explicitly and secretly a huge part of the religion since always.

Ask a Mormon and they can show you the person who baptized them and who baptized them...back to the founder. It's their thing.

They also like to Mormon baptize the dead to give the dead the chance to become Mormons and go to heaven instead of staying in hell. There was a big outcry when in the 90s when the Mormons were doing this to victims of the Holocaust.
