One of my favorite podcasts is Knowledge Fight, where a couple of dudes break down Alex’s shows and his shitty, relentlessly flawed and often inconsistent opinions and narratives.
Alex seems more and more unhinged lately and it wouldn’t surprise me if he eats a bullet or has an oops-I-killed-myself-by-accident kinda event in the not-distant future. Being the type of asshole he is, he will absolutely preemptively blame any apparent suicide on the (((cabal)))/deep state. Gotta pay the grift forward
Yeah this surprised me, too. For all the time I’ve heard KF analyse his shows, he seemed to age poorly of course - owing probably a fair bit to his rampant alcoholism - but otherwise on-track. At all times. He was always just a right-wing grifter, following whatever trend he could exploit to sell more gold/waterfilters/bonemealshakes/whatever with. But the recent 2-3 months? Damn.
No they are not. They are both Indo-European but each is from a completely different branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin stems from the Romance branch, while Greek from the Hellenic branch. Other than their common “ancestor” language group, the only other similarity I can think of/find right now is that Latin did borrow many Greek words due to the Roman’s heavy influence from Hellenic culture. However, this doesn’t mean that they are at all related.
Greek itself has myriads of Turkish words due to the Ottoman occupation of the Greek lands (Greece as a nation state did not exist yet at this point if I’m not mistaken) from 1453 until 1821(almost 400 years), however it would be ridiculous to make the claim that Greek and Turkish are related, given that Turkish is an Anatolian language which only shares commonality with Greek due to the fact that they are both Indo-European branch families. Hence, it is ridiculous to make the claim that Latin is related to Greek simply because they borrowed many words.
So, linguistically speaking both Greek and Latin are from majorly different language families, and we have discussed how you can’t make the claim two languages are related simply because they borrow words from each other because of various political/historical reasons.
You and I are not related because we share a common ancestor, and no sensible person would make that claim based on that reasoning. We do draw the line somewhere. If you want to define all languages as related because they all comprise of sound and noise that humans make feel free to.
Also, if you bothered reading not skimming then jumping to conclusions, you would see I linked a couple sources, so you don’t actually have to hear it from my mouth.
If you’d be a little less prickly with your absolutes I honestly might not have a problem with that. I don’t like some of my family members, us being related doesn’t mean I would or wouldn’t want to spend time with them…
Is everyone just not using Ublock for some reason? I never seem to see any of these things and I feel like I just followed a link to Know Your Meme fairly recently.
Ugh yeah I’ve seen it a few times. I think it has something to do with higher usage than the servers can handle at one time so it tries to post, “can’t”, so it does again but the first one did too but idk
It’s as though Dems are critical of presidents. It doesn’t matter who is in office. It’s like Dems aren’t fanatic like Republicans. And my supporting evidence is Biden’s approval rating.
Wow, they must have changed the meaning of 0. An 11 point drop in approval from Democrats since he made his stance clear on Israel. There are even protests following him around
You know tons of “Dems” have tons of criticisms for Obama and Biden?
Also you both sides people ignore that one side is mostly incompetent while the other literally wants to actively harm minorities, LGBTQ+, immigrants etc. Biden has been getting a ton of shit for his Israel/Palestine response as well as his union issues. In addition, some of his stances in the past.
I literally walked into my grandparents’ garden one day and found a cow just hanging out. No one believed me when I went to tell them until they heard it moo. Turns out it had managed to break the fence at a local field and was just roaming.
