| 4 days ago | mod | Removed Comment So you clearly haven't made any effort, which basically says that you are discussing in bad faith.
But here is [one example](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HtFTnVfTerU), where Baerbock spreads misinformation about rapes, argues against stopping of the murders by Israelis, says "Palestinians enjoy slaughtering women" to justify their slaughter through the hands of Israel.
Here is another: In March 2024, Baerbock says in her speech in the German Bundestag that Palestinians have lost their civilian protection status. Meanwhile, by end of December 2023, Israel had murdered 21000 Palestinians, with overwhelming majority of them being civilians, 9000-11000 of them children. She continued to support sending weapons to Israel, opposing a ceasefire, while calling ICJ's case against Israel on genocide as 'baseless'. Her statements and actions have again and again justified genocide, mass murder and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. by Jay101@lemmy.world reason: bad faith, misinformation, misrepresentation of facts |

She justified, supported and cheered for genocide. This was not just political compromise, it was her personal position and I would argue that it is just reflection of her family's Nazi past. She is personally complicit in murder of 70000 identifiable Palestinians, including 20000 children. She should have been thrown out of the party if the party is not of green washing. by Jay101@lemmy.world reason: not only misinformation, but also libel |

Because if you read it and weren't an uneducated moron it would show give the history of the second person plural in English, you dipshit.
What is so hard to understand about this sentence:
>It is now largely archaic, having been replaced in most contexts by the word you, although it remains in use in parts of Northern England and in Scots (/ðu:/ dhoo
What is so hard to understand about this sentence?
>The practice of matching singular and plural forms with informal and formal connotations is called the T–V distinction and in English is largely due to the influence of French.
Oh wait right, you're an uneducated (and definitely monolinguistic) dipshit, I can see how you wouldn't have the slightest idea of what that's about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%E2%80%93V_distinction
Just because you can use a large screwdriver to hammer in a nail does not make it a fucking hammer.
So because you're ignorant of the basics of linguistics, perhaps you should keep your ignorant mouth shut?
Do you say "you is" or "you are"?
You is joking, surely.
If you actually spoke other languages or listened in any linguistics class you've ever had, you might be able to understand. But you aren't. by  Dasus@lemmy.worldreason: belligerent |
| 29 days ago | mod | Removed Comment By what perverted fucking reading do you get that from?
I'm not the one who makes up the definitions of academic linguistics.
>Because it wasn't a second person singular 300 years ago it can't be one today?
Really? That's the best you can come up with? A shitty strawman?
Just because you **USE** Y as X doesn't mean Y becomes X. Is that so hard to comprehend? English **STILL, TO THIS DAY**, has a second person singular which is in use.
**If** we were having this conversation 500 years in the futures where the second person plural is something like *(ewww)* "y'all" **exclusively** and there wasn't anyone using "thou" and the language had changed to treating "you" as the second person singular, **THEN** we could maybe consider your strawman.
But we aren't, it hasn't, and "thou" is still used. Wait a second... Feels line we've been over that fact....
**OH YEAH**
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou
>The word thou (/ðaʊ/) is a second-person singular pronoun in English. It is now largely archaic, having been replaced in most contexts by the word you, although it remains in use in parts of Northern England and in Scots (/ðu:/ dhoo).
Do you have a hard time understanding those two sentences? Do you know what "largely" means when attached to a word like "archaic"? Do you know what "remains in use" means?
Hey if the proper grammar is to say "he is going" but "you are going", would you mind explaining why you'd use the plural form of the verb with the second person singular? Hmm?
You will just never be able to admit being wrong about this. It's a shame, because it will limit your potential **very badly**. by Dasus@lemmy.world reason: belligerent insults |
| 29 days ago | mod | Removed Comment Like I said, you'll never admit to being wrong. You're literally incapable.
Here, let me just make this even simpler for you with an example, as I know [you Americans have difficulties with anything intellectual](https://today.duke.edu/2022/03/lead-exposure-last-century-shrunk-iq-scores-half-americans)
Okay, so, imagine having a fancy new nail gun. Except you don't know it's a nail gun. And you just use it to **bang** in nails. Just because you use it as a hammer doesn't make it one. If your boss came along and said "we need to nail things to this wall", you'd correctly get the right tool. However, if your boss said "get me a hammer" and you got the nail gun you stupidly use to hammer in nails, your boss is gonna laugh at you.
You is **used** as a second person singular. If you spoke any other languages or even raid the starting paragraph of the short Wiki article I linked twice already, you'd know why it is exactly so that it is a second person plural used as a singular, and not the other way around.
But no, because you're illiterate and cognitively lazy, but can't admit it to yourself, you just simply will never admit to being wrong. We could have a professor of linguistics here telling you this, and you'd still continue your tantrum.
I know you won't understand this, but in my native and agglunative language, we use second person plurals to show respect. That's how it was in English as well, but since English isn't agglunative, it doesn't really affect the grammar around it much, so it was easy to just default to the second person **plural**, because that was safer than accidentally offending someone. This is literally stated in the article you refuse to open (because it proves you wrong.)
>Starting in the 1300s, thou and thee were used to express familiarity, informality, or contempt, for addressing strangers, superiors, or inferiors, or in situations when indicating singularity to avoid confusion was needed; concurrently, the plural forms, ye and you, began to also be used for singular: typically for addressing rulers, superiors, equals, inferiors, parents, younger persons, and significant others.
Notice how it says "plural forms **USED AS**"? No? Can't even address the article or the history or anything actually objective? Just "wyaaa wyaaa wyaaa I'm not wrong bcus bcus bcus ur stoopid"?
> the uncertainty of using thou for inferiors versus you for superiors (with you being the safer default)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou#History
I've seen this tantrum literally a million times.
by Dasus@lemmy.world reason: being belligerent over grammar |
| 29 days ago | mod | Removed Comment It's not. And this really isn't complex.
If you shit in a bucket, that doesn't make the bucket a toilet seat. If you use a stone to hammer in a nail, it doesn't become a hammer. It's still a rock, and eveyone would refer to it as a rock.
Hell, you could use a nail-gun as a hammer. And thus kt would be "a tool to help nails go in", but it wouldn't be a hammer, per se.
"You" is not a second person singular despite being used as one.
This really isn't complex, you guys.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou
> the plural forms, ye and you, began to also be used for singular: typically for addressing rulers, superiors, equals, inferiors, parents, younger persons, and significant others.
"Plural forms." "Used as."
What's so hard to understand about this I don't get it.

| 29 days ago | mod | Removed Comment Like I said, you'll never accept being wrong.
You don't understand the basics of linguistics and currently you're arguing against an established fact. Your opinion doesn't matter fuck all.
Just because you don't use a second person singular (ie the colloquial language lacks one, especially in Southern Usa) doesn't mean you don't have one.
>Not just in southern America but everywhere
No matter how much you cry and whine, you're still wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou
I know "y'all" have a hard time with literacy and English in general, but even you should be able to understand what "remains in use" means.
>it remains in use in parts of Northern England and in Scots
