I realised that Merriam Webster was fucked a while ago when arguing with a feminist on Deddit. They tried to claim that feminism was for gender equality, and used the Merriam Webster definition for it, while every single other dictionary definition defined it as elevating women's rights.

Didn't know about Brittanica though. Thanks for the info.

No problem. The more we can point this stuff out with plain neutral facts, the less our (((fellow white people))) can accuse us of using an "unfounded conspiracy theroy" against them.

This is important news. Jews trying to rewrite definitions to alter the language. It's also why old school textbooks were destroyed and not just sold off.

If they were raised Jewish, they are a Jew before all else. There is no such thing as a hyphenated Jew, Brazilian- or otherwise. They do the same shit everywhere in the world.

shadow332 ago

You're right. I should have put the Brazilian part in quotation marks.

Great find. It turns my stomach that 1984 is here.

Good work. Safra family isn't "Brazilian" or "Swiss", that's just what they want you to think. They're extremely wealthy Middle Eastern Jews fucking up South America and other places, and the Safra family is related to the Rothschild, Sassoon, Gubbai, and Kadoorie families, the same families who fucked up China, Africa, and everywhere else and blamed it all on Europeans, and they're all related to the Oppenheim, Oppenheimer, Guggenheum, Warburg, Goldman, Sachs, and Seligman jews, and probably the rest too. It's just one big nasty family.

Couldn't find anything on the Gubbai family,did you spell it correctly?

Thanks for the great work,btw!

MaxVonOppenheim ago

It's in the 'My Heritage' Link. 'Gubbai' a jew name translated from other languages, so they spell it Gubbai, Gabbai, Gabai, Gubbay, or other ways in English. They were a bunch of Rich opium traders and zionists in Asia during the opium wars. The helped fund Israel off of money from hooking Chinese people on drugs. They admit it themselves.

Excellent work. I didn't even look that far. I should have known. Part of the (((global network))).

MaxVonOppenheim ago

Yep. Safra is very shady, even more than Rothschild and they're all in bed. Fuck all of them.

good shit here and very well done!

That became blatantly obvious when I saw the addendum to the word "gender" popping up in the dictionaries.

shadow332 ago

What I find unsettling is this editor, Solokowski, in particular says "we are not changing the definitions or trying ot influence anything, we are just giving them" as if he is not a part of this circle of controlled propaganda. Granted a dictionary is a mere reflection or snapshot of an entire living language- Language is forever changing, words become obsolete, there are neologisms that catch on and take off, definitions change over time, etc. This is clear. However, many people deem a dictionary, just like a grammar book as a reference, because that's what it's supposed to be. So they believe the appropriate definitions and grammatical usage, i.e. the "standard" is those prescribed in these reference books. He's not saying the power the dictionary has.

If he changes the definitions to reflect that of the sentiment of the left, people will rely on the dictionary and say "this is the correct and proper definition" because it is in the dictionary, regardless if a non-standard usage may be just as popular among the native-speaking population. This in turn will give people, even if they are in the (((minority))), some kind of false veracity in their choice of language. This is the same thing Wikipedia does with its historical "facts".

Writing does not control our speech, it is the other way around as humans rely much more on the spoken word than the written. Most languages in the world don't even have a writing system. The problem is most people don't know this fact, and they think the written word has some superiority or more correctness then the spoken, this may be true in very strict contexts such as law, but in the case of definitions in common language usage, a dictionary holds only a fraction of what is floating around in the actual spoken living language.

He knows this as a lexicographer. It's glaringly obvious that he's playing innocent. He's pulling a 1984, hoping that there is some truth to linguistic determinism.

This may have been true 25 years ago, but these days, most people I know spend more time typing than talking, which makes (((control))) of the dictionaries even more dangerous.

shadow332 ago

You're right. For the parts of the world where people spend more time on their computers/smartphones than actually interacting with people, this may be true. Maybe people are shifting their vocabularies towards that what they read more than what they hear. The censorship will focus more on the written word than the spoken. But I think there will be counter cultures and groups who will always go against it, like this place. We are doing the same as people did in the past, instead of meeting others in a pub about it, we talk about it here.
