    • Lol at you attempting to paint me as someone denying israels genocide in palestine. Sheer desperation from you here.

      Ah, so you accept the reality, which is that Israel is committing a genocide? You'll readily accept that fact, and won't try to dodge the question or pretend there isn't a genocide?

      Good.

      I'd tell you you need to watch your projection. Youre feeling extremely ashamed, that's why you're talking about desperation. Because you despaired when you realised how wrong you are, from the votes and everyone explaining to you what "prescriptive" and "descriptive" mean. You didn't understand it.

      So now you're trying to appeal to authority while not even making an argument. Desperately. You think that link seems authoritative. The EU discussing how antisemitism is defined doesn't change that using nazi doesn't make you antisemitic, and it doesn't change the fact that "nazi" is synonymous with "fascist", so calling Israeli soldiers nazis is not linguistically erroneous.

      Defining "nazi" prescriptively as having one single meaning would be linguistically erroneus. Which you will never admit to.

      So which part in this EU link which I did actually read through is supposed to say that descriptive rules for a language have gone out the window?

      Or is it now the comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany policies that you're saying is antisemitic, and not the colloquial use of "nazi"? Because those aren't the same thing?

      Don't be so desperate, you can get out of all this shame simply by not replying. No more humiliation for you, it can all be over. Just lie back and take it.

      • Wow, you really have some issues you need to work out there. You really went and rage typed all that didn't you?

        No, I don't care that I get downvoted for saying that people shouldn't call Jewish people, regardless of whether they're referred to as Israelis or, not nazis. I also didn't say that you or anyone here is an antisemitic person. My point is that the action of doing so is. If I thought you genuinely wanted to be antisemitic, I wouldn't bother telling you now would I?

        I love, love how you start off taking about projection and then lost a whole load of emotions that you feel I'm feeling, without a hint of irony.

        The part of the equality and human rights commission that says:

        Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis

        Specifically.

        Again, if you're just referring to them in the way you would call someone, say, a grammar nazi, why do you HAVE to keep saying it? Why do you feel the need to defend it so vigorously?

        Come one now, grow a spine and answer.

        • Still, so much projection. You're just so angry at being publicly shamed for not knowing the basics of linguistics, even basic terminology such as "prescriptive" and "descriptive". This means that more than likely, you're not highly educated. That's okay, because you're online and you can teach yourself, but it shows just on what level you're discussing this.

          Because you were wrong and because everyone pointed it out, you got this tantrum. You were in error, but can never admit that publicly. So you'll dig deeper and more desperate to try and save yourself from this spectacular fail, as you so eloquently put it.

          "Defend it so vigorously"? Defend what? How languages work? Again, they don't care for my OPINION. I don't make the rules for the languages. Not prescriptive nor descriptive. Nothing I think will make you be less in error.

          You're just not man enough to say "oh I didn't understand the terms you were using as I don't understand language-a-logics at all, thanks for teaching me."

          No, instead you at first started arguing as if you understood the subject, DESPERATELY googling things to support you. I'm not Googling shit because I know what I'm talking about. Maybe next time, you'll THINK before you press "reply" or "post" to comments with words which you don't actually understand the meaning of?
