Idk if it’s medical or more psychological but the term for when your hear a word so many times it loses meaning is one of my favorite phrases in the English language.
Semantic satiation

“My bookie said giving him this months grocery budget was a great idea.”
A few years ago I would immediatly leave if I saw a burger for more than $15 on a menu regardless of how many unnecessary toppings they had one it.
Now it costs more than that for a plain cheeseburger with a 6 Oz patty.
Idk how anybody is still eating out we can take the money we’d spend on a meal in a restaurant and cook something that’s better quality and we have leftovers for 2 days. The only benefits off eating out are to get cheap slop you would feel bad about cooking for yourself.
“We put three different kinds of rubbery bacon on top of it and you better believe we’re charging you a premium for every one”
Go figure the cowardly liberal doesn’t have a response or defense for their shitty beliefs that literally boil down to supporting nazis and instead tries to appeal to existing power structures to get dissenting voices silenced.
Another example of why they’re deserving of nothing but open contempt.
Oh yea you’re really “opposing oppression” by giving unlimited weapons to famously corrupt self avowed neo nazis because they happen to be opposed to your geopolitical ally. The really impressive cognitive dissonance is describing literally anything America has done in the last 80 years as “opposing oppression”.
You guys are the ones supporting press ganging 75 year olds and dropping them into the meat grinder so a bunch of pentagon consultants dont have to admit theyve been lying their ass off about every aspect of the war for years. How’s that for oppression.
Also love to accuse the other person of trying to use “might makes right” arguments while actively trying to build a military alliance to surround Russia with nukes while calling them the aggressor.
I always wonder if these people realize they would be violently opposed to the civil rights movement I’d they were alive then.
Why because they’re the only one not suggesting “Russia should abaondon their two year long successful military operataion because that’s what I, a whiny American liberal, want.”
“Why don’t they just continue to lie and break treaties and do whatever they want instead?” - deffinitly the good guys
This is some “Nobody helped me when I was on wellfare” levels of self awareness.
How fast can Bibi go from saying they’ll defend themselves to calling America antisemitic from not giving them unlimited free weapons.
In the later books Harry gets a slave and doesn’t free him but its ok because the slave is rude.
Because 90% of jobs don’t just let you do leisure activities on the clock and doing literally anything makes time go faster than sitting around doing literally nothing.
Catholics do a bunch of stuff other Christians think makes them not Christina.
The biggest one is the pope, catholic lore says the pope is the literal spokesperson for God on earth all other religions he doesn’t have authority.
Idolatry: other Christian religions don’t have a lot of images of saints or anybody other than christ and basically think catholics are wrong for worshipping Mary and saints on the same level as Jesus. Similarly it’s the difference between catholic crucifixes (has the dead guy on them) vs regular crosses
Transubstantiation: according to catholic lore when the alter boy rings the bell that is LITERALLY the body and blood of christ you’re eating. Pretty sure other religions think this is a step too far.
Yea the biggest hallmark of an idf strike I’ve seen from this conflict.
Isreal immediatly denying it was them.
Hitler loved dogs after all.
Ya know until material conditions came knocking and he tested his cyanide supply ona dog to make sure he wouldn’t have a painful death.
Oh so all of those good parts of history you were talking about are when they directly opposed Isreal and zionism isn’t that interesting.
There’s a deep history of American workers movements that doesn’t mean the entire country doesn’t deserve to be nuked from orbit.
This is kind of how I became a socialist.
Did a mission trip to Nicaragua when I was young, got home and wondered why the country was so fucked up.
“Oh, it’s literally entirely America’s fault, intentional, and their exact strategy for foreign relations which is just imperialism.”
The net benefit is that people enjoy it.
If there was some negative that outweighed that you’d think the bill would be banning that practice but the thing they don’t like is its partially owned by Chinese companies so they’re just trying to force it to be sold so it can cobtinye to operate in the exact same way but just for the benefit of an American billionaire instead.
People thinking their clever by making up words that already have a meaning.
“Lawfare” meaning chargingnrich white assholes for the crime they committed
“Disinformatsiya” or however libs spelled it to mean pointing out the hypocrisy of American nationalists.
“Sanewashing” to describe media putting their thumb on the scale for the fascist who wants to cut their taxes.
It implies it’s a new phenomenon and not just the current version of whatever propoganda apparatus has been chugging along for decades.
Liberals complain about “sanewashsing” and then in the same breath talk about how cheyney and bush weren’t exactly the fucking same as Trump.
