What does that even mean?!

english patter/social bullying expresses the self-same repression that english politesse + stiff upper lip do!

want to share the Philadelphia dialect, maybe the weirdest American regional dialect. The first minute or so of this clip is a perfect example

the weird ass affect there is also part of the regional culture, impossible to explain why they're like this

Sounds pretty normal and is completely comprehensible, in contradistinction to many British accents. You guys just haven't been around long enough to get proper accent diversity.

How is social bullying do-gooding?

i never said it is - it expresses repression by enforcing it as a norm. politeness expresses the same enforced norm. it's dialectical

Dialectical isn't some shiny winner's rosette. It's just a word like any other, except incomprehensible.

So @mixed_biscuits disregards Plato and rejects the OED. Great foundations of our Western culture but they mean nothing to him. And thinks he’s milking leftist tears, punishing the care-lords any time he opens his mouth, but really he is a disgrace to classical antiquity, the Enlightenment and bourgeois philosophy and culture. Vast swaths of intellectual history, various records of European excellence are lost on him. All because he thinks ‘dialectics’ is the lynchpin of his psychological demons in the current culture war. He lashes out, adopting a tough but unconvincing exterior as if in some kind of postmodern stunt, like a guinea pig donning an ill-fitting tiger costume.

“It’s a word like any other, except it’s incomprehensible” I’ll at least admit to his razor sharp wit. Feeling almost like a cube right now just reading that line.

"the middle term" is a term of art. just like "dialectic"

Wait a minute, you're @malelesbian ! He's the only other poster who has his own personal definitions for terms and denies the existence of every other.
