- Torco, you are never a listener to me. This is a maker of me to be sad. I am already a long-term feeler that you are no longer a care-abouter of me and this is a botherer of me - so much so that I am an intender of being a divorcer of you if you are not very soon an incipient demonstrator of your love to me. Be not a starer at me blankly! Be a teller to me that you are a lover of me! If you are one-who-is-incapable of being such a teller, I will be a walker out that door. You are a possessor of ten seconds.

- Be not a goer, Imralu. Be a stayer here with me because I am indeed a lover of you, so much so that my heart is, so often, a terrible acher. I am one-who-is-incapable of being an expresser of my true feelings for you because the verb-paucity of our language is a maker of me to be a preferrer to be a talker about strictly material things. I am already a long-term expecter that this may be a driver of a wedge between us but now it is a true event (a happener). You are a deserver of someone better. *is a sobber*

- Be not a crier Torco. I am now a future stayer. You are an explainer of your true feelings. Be a comer here and I am a near-future hugger of you.

Oh, the flowing romance!!

[Jipí]

That so reminds me of the all-nouns language that Zomp alludes to in the LCK...

I think this is missing a bit of context:

Here is an update with moods aspects and tenses:

// VERBS

VA to be
SHI to be (locative)
FE to be (temporal)
MI to have
DA to do/move
LE to create/transform

[Tense, aspect and voice markers are presented after.]

in a reverse sapir-whorf style, ideology can probably be read from the fact that no verb of all the five has anything to do with emotion, human interaction, or any dimension of qualia, which is nice if you want the 'lang to reflect some underlying materialist, or antifenomenological, or no-touchy-feely-shit vibe.

There still are ways that people speak and don't speak; the opposite of prescriptivism isn't necessarily "every noise that comes out of my hole is just as valid and lovely as the noises that actually make sense to the community of speakers at large".

<dhok> in any case, i have been sufficiently traumatised by a three-year one track crush on my history teacher
[...]
<dhok> i also once bought a cookie of hers at a bake sale
<dhok> said
<dhok> "hoc est enim corpus suum"
<dhok> and ate it
<dhok> it was a good cookie

Sphincter Party in da haus!

<dhok> but what you're saying eddy
<dhok> correct me if I am wrong
<dhok> is that the Left demands that its members be close-minded
<Red_Dawn>You could describe it that way. They would see it as eschewing reactionary materials that could draw you away from the left. Eg, if you listen to enough racist music, you'll get desensitized to racism and start to sympathize with it.

why is this stupid? propaganda is by its nature persuasive. if you do not wish to be persuaded by it, because it is, say, an occasion of sin you know yourself to be susceptible to, then of course it could be wise to avoid it.

I could look up all I want the demographics of the UK, but I'll never know how it is truly viewed unless I have a native make me a stereotype map.

Mario soundtracks and pepperoni pizza aren't "propaganda" you fucktard.

[Pthagnar]

bless me, father, i heard a country music song and was Tempted

[Aurora Rossa]

Mario soundtracks and pepperoni pizza aren't "propaganda" you fucktard.

The pizza came from some Christian fundamentalist business (or some right wing presidential candidate) and buying it directly supports them. The soundtrack is something of an outlier compared to all the unabashed country music you have pushed on me over the years.

"Unabashed country music". Like a "blatant taxi driver" or an "unapologetic claustrophobe".

[Nortaneous]

ah yes, music about how capitalists are assholes, how reactionary~

Why do I get the feeling that Eddy only listens to the Communards only for the reason it has "commun-" in its name?

Shut up, patiku.

Indeed. I personally try to limit myself to explicitly left wing materials or else works recommended by left wingers. Expanding my horizons beyond that carries some significant risks given how strongly the Left reacts to consuming unacceptable cultural products.
