No link because I found this image, went to look for a link, and discovered I blocked her a while back. I decided to view her tweets anyway, to find the link, because I am not a lib, but there was too much stupidity to trudge through. She's praising Bill Maher for liking the US, and comparing him favorably to "today's left." That's too much, man.
it's woke to call a person of colour the n word. we've reached new levels of galaxy brain
I can't get over 'bourgeoisie faux patois neoliberalism'. I can see how they created that string of words, they meant to say bourgeois and not bourgeoisie. they were obviously thinking of the phrase faux pass and then knew patois was a black thing, even though it's just the name of a type language to do with black diaspora dialects, and then just added on neoliberal because leftists always call shit neoliberal like that means anything here. like I can see how this was constructed, but these words in this order do not mean anything.
this is what happens when you entire political education is learning buzzwords online
Not a linguist, but isn't patois distinctly a Jamaican/Carribean thing? Unless it has a broader definition as a word than I'm aware of.
I thought it meant any mixture of two languages. Like Spanglish.
I never knew it was culturally appropriated. I'll have to stop myself from using the word in the future.
it's typically used for Jamaican English yeah, but I've heard it used for other Caribbean islands with black diaspora populations and how English gets creolised
