I grew up “Catholic”, but to be honest I never bought into it. Mostly as a kid the last thing I wanted to do was spend 5 days in school and then another day at Sunday school. So I distanced myself for a long time from Faith in general. About as distanced as I was from politics. Politicians are less trustworthy than used car salesman, at least you know the motive for the salesman. I also voted third party in 2016 being sick of the 2 party system. I felt the same way about the church with their Priest situations. My views haven’t changed much since say 10 years ago. The biggest change was that I was indifferent on abortion until we had our first kid in 2018. When I saw the ultrasound and heartbeat for the first time at 9 weeks I knew that was my child immediately. Nothing can change that opinion. Then later that year I began to pay attention to politics after the blatant deception from the Kavanaugh BS. I found a lot of parallels with the people standing up for Kavanaugh/Trump as with the teachings from Christianity. In 2019 I bought my first Bible (King James version).
Skipping the rest of the journey to get to the point:
The efforts these people have taken to actively undermine the lessons of the Bible has lead me to exactly what they are trying to destroy.
I am just starting to build on my surface level knowledge from my childhood, but I’m determined to learn more.
I just wanted to share with this community of shit posters, memers, truthers, pedes, and most importantly Patriots that I feel there is much more going on than what we see.
Even the word 'Man' has a non-gendered origin. 'Man' as it is used in mankind stems from old english, where 'man' simply meant human. In fact, to differentiate between male and female 'man', the prefixes 'wer-' and 'wyf-' were used, werman and wyfman. Of course, 'men' is the plural of that word.
It's how we got the word 'werewolf', literally meaning 'manwolf', as in 'male human that is a wolf'.
Mmmm, delicious intellectual analysis with a side of historic etymology. Delicious!! 👌
So should female werewolves actually be wyfwolves?
Waifuwolves
A-woo
Always have been.
I never knew that!
Wijf/wyf is also old Dutch for woman, in German it's 'das Weib', so it must be a remnant of an older system, what was it again? Indo-European?
As far as I am aware, "wyf" is where the word "Wife" comes from in modern English. It literally just means woman.
My recollection could be off though, my obsession with etymology has developed some dust and cobwebs.
Same here it's been twenty odd years since my university days ;)
TY for the info!
Proto-Germanic, whence English, Dutch, German, and Nordic languages all descend.
Sounds about right. “Proto-indo-European” ... blame the Scythian?
LOL Russia again ;)
And Proto-Indo-European was what I was searching for. Thanks!
Is the indo from Indian? Do the languages in modern India share a common ancestor with Europe's languages (honest question, not a dig at Indian English).
Yes but it's really from an area a litle north west. The whole Ayran concept arose out of the area that became Persia/Iran. It's the root of a lot of European languages and (pagan) religious concepts. Some even think the origin of storm gods like Thor etc came from early gods in that region.
The scythians were a nomadic horse-based people that bridged the area between Europe and Iran a few thousand years ago. They spread a lot of the concepts westward. The caucus mountains were a natural barrier and they moved west/north/east of them. (simplified a lot of stuff but you should dive in... it's facinating)
Quick answer: yes. The Wikipedia entry for Indo-European languages seems to be ok (not politically biased)... if you want to know more.
"Show bob and vegan" (reconstructed Proto-Indo-European)
Ah I have a few friends that are das weeb, they're mostly tolerable.
Postmodernism doesn’t care about your ´grand narrative’ of empirical facts. Hurr durr says the college grad. This is how these people think they can cut off their genitals and declare a different gender. They are unhinged and want to drag the rest of us into their madness spiral.
Plenty of us graduated from college without absorbing the propaganda.
It's true that it's rampant there. It seems to affect people in two ways: either it brain washes them or it drives them further away from it.
College is of course mostly a huge scam these days, but some careers just don't happen without that paper.
College at this point exists to mentally and emotionally retard young adult development and saddle them with unbelievable debt. If it can corrupt them morally with various vices, it’s a side benefit.
History and facts are raysis and fashist, literal murder
who cares if it's non gendered in origin? Men have most/all of the responsibility so they should get authority as well. This includes things like pronouns favored towards men along with other things.
