"Epic" "awesome" "revolutionary" "never before seen" "once in a lifetime"

Everything is hyperbole, to the point where "epic"--something that should describe the most important events of human history--is reduced to pressing buttons well in a videogame made for children

Not to say the Protestant core of the USA hasn't had something to do with it (it's the END TIMES, you're going to burn in hell FOREVER, God's love is INFINITE, etc.) but it seems like mostly a market construction

Comical how liberals do the whole "newspeak is coming" don't realize it has; don't need to ban words if you make them completely meaningless

"Freedom" means nothing, "revolution" means nothing, "just" means nothing, "socialism" means nothing, "democracy" means nothing

      Read that as 'Semitic' and 'seismic' simultaneously at first

      Some Jewish seismologist saying "continents are real" and Reversi leaps up and screams "NO! NO!" jumping up and down

              it was a trailer for a new Paranormal Activity movie that involved experimental warheads with some kind of new chemical weapon falling into the ocean and some fish (in front of a camera, maybe it was at an aquarium or something) ate the tips and started transitioning to the opposite sex, somehow it was actually really creepy in the dream
