(FB 1542397477 Timestamp) MEME LINGO AS AN EXPRESSION OF ASPIRATIONS TO SPECIATE English has attained, in the post WWII world, the status of a lingua Franca, or trade/diplomatic language. There are sound economic rationale to have such a language, and historical rationale for that language to be English. Simply put, there are a host of transaction costs that can be minimized or avoided if we adopt a common language, for common purposes. But to those of us who speak English as a first language, there are a whole host of NEW transaction costs entailed both in being intelligible to foreigners and in foreigners being intelligible to us… Our language’s status as global lingua franca vastly aids and speeds the invasion and colonization of our lands. Our private thoughts and communications are readily understood by alien elements, at home and abroad. Our ability to discern ingroup from out is greatly degraded. Our ears are assailed by constant tirades of malicious, dishonest, out-group critique. For all of these reasons, and more, we are rapidly evolving our own non-mutually intelligible idioms, in the form of meme lingos filled with euphemisms, jargon, and inside jokes. And it’s not just us. My parents, who are still very much plugged into university-educated SWPL culture, have been adopting a progressively more idiosyncratic lexicon and usage my entire life, to the point that the way they talk, though still intelligible to me, sounds increasingly jarring and foreign (though it is no doubt soothing and familiar within their circles…) This process is being accelerated by, for example, internet censorship, as we are forced to innovate especially our expressions of derision faster than that can be identified, understood, and suppressed by the implaccable racial enemy. So my prediction is English will continue to variagate, into a standard “global” variety, and a bunch of regional and subcultural dialects, which will eventually become wholly unintelligible, separate, languages.

(FB 1542476005 Timestamp) (from elsewhere) I dunno, I lived in rural america during the cold war, undermining of the education system, and underclass conquest (civil rights movement). I lived in suburban new england and Boston during the reagan revolution, star wars, and the american restoration. I lived in seattle during the microcomputer boom and the insane wealth it generated. In ukraine during the ukrainian revolution. And it looks like America during the second american civil war. interesting times.

(FB 1542398671 Timestamp) by Greg Hamilton Most languages of peoples that live in an âenemyâ situation where the enemy speaks the same language develop coded language as a defense. We may be seeing this happening at an unconscious level. Native speakers at a low brain level realize they are behind enemy lines so to speak. I know from experience movie quotes and childhood TV provide coded speech a non native could never train to understand. As an aside movie quotes are very powerful as they carry a whole story along with them.

(FB 1542494547 Timestamp) Understanding the white counter-narrative: we compete by high quality commons – that is our civilizational strategy. In urban density, where we not only have to domesticate our own underclasses over whom we have “some” status signal leverage, but vast immigrant underclasses, over whom we have “no” status signal leverage, we are forced to flee to lower density to produce those high quality commons. As density increases opportunity cost decreases and consequently opportunity deprivation by signaling is decreases. So normative degeneration is endemic in urban areas – because it’s affordable – while normative degeneration in less urban areas is intolerable. Meanwhile these underclasses whether kin or not, consume those accumulated commons like locusts, leaving Baltimores, Detroits, NY’s, LA’s and Oaklands in their wake. And because we have no right of DISASSOCIATION we cannot organize to resist their consumption of those commons we produce. The more dense the population the more the commons is “someone else’s problem”. The more sparse the population the more the commons is my problem. Hence urban demand for authority and rural demand for sovereignty. Once you ‘see it’ you can’t ‘unsee’ it. We are producing commons that attract wild animals, and we are forbidden by the state-academy-financial-sectors from depriving them of customers to feed on the commons we create – that none of them can. They think they’re creating something. But they are just speed-consuming the accumulated common capital of western civilization with every breath they take. The only solution is the restoration of voluntary disassociation and the markets will do the rest.
