This thread will never be as epic as the other argument thread...

Anyone that tells you there is no God is delusional (or at least full of an insane amount of hubris), but anyone who tells you there IS a God but you gotta pay to know him is the enemy.

Do you know what semiotics is? If you read one book on the subject it will explain all of this, the electric universe people are all grifters.

Samsies except I'm extremely hard when I'm evil.

Hey it's not my fault! Someone claimed government literally translates to mind-control, I can't sit idly by when bullshit of that magnitude is spewed online...

I've run out of ways to express what is objectively true so I'll concede to this fantasy of yours. If Jordan Peterson tells you government means mind-control in Latin you go ahead and believe him.

Incorrect. Deciding to become engaged is a different thing than the state (state) of being engaged. -ment implies the state of being engaged. This is true of all the words (at least that I can think of) that end in -ment. Amusement is the state in which you are amused, for example.

Engagement.

Unfortunately the truth is not up for debate, but ultimately this all just comes down to...why? If you wanted to make a system to control the minds of men would you be safer calling something cryptic like Project Oberyn or call it ImmaMindControlYou so everyone figures it out? Literally makes no...

Using this logic you gonna go to the store to buy a car and come out with a carpet...

You're so close...just keep going a little more. I don't know what else to tell ya, no serious etymological research supports what you are saying. You can choose to believe the truth or not, its up to you: https://www.etymonline.com/word/-ment

This is correct, my version was to demonstrate how NOT to do it. The etymology of government meaning "mind control" is using the way I was demonstrating, looking for connections where none exist. -Umberto Eco

Yes you have got it. This doesn't mean ALL the individual parts of every word has a meaning on it's own, that's not at all how language works. Here let me show you: Masturbation Mast -> Referencing a ship's mast aka the erect penis thus proving that females shall not pleasure themselves. Turb...

It's called a suffix (or sometimes a morpheme) it's not a word that means anything on its own. When you add it to a word it alters the meaning but it is not a word in itself (like a compound word), but even morphemes come from SOMEWHERE. It's the same with the word "Amazement", does that mean a...

The way English evolved was by altering already wide spoken languages like Latin, German and French but you can't say "Government" means "Govern" and "Ment", that would be like saying the word "Tactics" is made of "Tac" and "Tics", put some Tac on those little Tics so they fight better, see what...

You're right, the "ment" come from "mentum" meaning mechanism basically, @ithinkimabunny has been listening to too many crackpots like Michael Tsarion or Jordan Maxwell. I swear to god imma have to come down there and starting handing out books to y'all myself...

The best is debating with multiple people at once, mass-debating, if you will...

Nah Hitler was way more competent. Funniest part of Jan 6th is a coup might have succeeded if a majority of red hats weren't part of the Gravy Seals and Meal Team Six; the early nazis were all hardened WWI war vets which is one of the reasons they were able to what they did, American democracy...

I wonder if that attitude ever happened before in history... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came
