Also, I remember reading about a study where English-speaking children with no second language were taught two songs by their English-speaking teacher: one in proper Japanese, and one in Japanese-sounding gibberish; students consistantly found the former, rather than the later, easier to memorize. There's a certain universality to language.

I agree in principle but will nevertheless take this opportunity to introduce a few people to the Bouba/Kiki effect. Look at these two shapes:



Which one is named Bouba and which one is named Kiki? Since we're on the English-speaking internet, most people will probably think the spiky figure on the left is Kiki and the rounded one on the right is Bouba, and this is true across a lot of languages and cultures.

Stuff like this fascinates me, there's just something about the way our brains work that makes things like this happen to humans all over the world.

It's like how color terms tend to come about at the same time in development across languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Color_Terms

It's about being pro-GOP/Trump/Russia, but pretending it's coming from the left. Any attempt at trying to divine a deeper meaning is giving Rall too much credit.

His goal is to spread divisiveness among the left so it will be even more fractioned and ineffective than it already is.

It's a little too on the nose what with him going "we need guns to shoot people enacting the government's twisted agenda" because... that's exactly what the Buffalo shooter thought he was doing. So it's just Garrison thinking that was good and there should be more of it.

I mean, to give them credit they absolutely do not deserve, in a saner place the weapon wouldn't matter as much as fixing whatever caused a human being to slaughter almost two dozen of their fellow humans. Alas we do not live in that saner place, in large part because of detestable people like Al Goodwyn.
