Just finished watching Trump's speech at GOP Dinner in NC.
He's going after the Alphabet Mafia big time. After the NWO, after big pharma, after the deep state, and the warmongers. You name it he's has laid it all down for everyone to see.
You can watch at Youtube or Rumble.
I know but you're never going to get people to say hopermectin instead of hopium
The quoted 'definition' of hopium is just a viewpoint, not the only one; and it's OK, but most people don't subscribe to it. They just use hopium to mean hope that feels really good and relaxed :)
Like, I never write or say the name "Obama" ever, without the F in front of it. Foebama or Fauxbama, whether referring to his malevolence or his deceit. It just works for me.
Just me. I've never once seen or heard it anyplace else :)
Kek, sure. Not a problem.
Let's just say that I have a special interest in language, how language generates culture, how language interfaces with conceptual formation.
I think the general usage and meaning of "hopium" has evolved a bit since it first emerged in 2021, but I still like to muck around with it. Some folks still use it to describe what it meant back then.
But don't worry, bro. My intent here is not to "get people to say hopermectin instead of hopium". It's merely to stimulate thinking about how we process information, how that information impacts on us, and the nature of various kinds of information out there.
I suppose it may be getting a bit tired (for some) at this point, but some folks still hear it for the first time and get something from it. So I'm OK with that.
Addendum: I think you make a good point. Mary wasn't using hopium in the sense I quote above. More like the sense that you reference. Thanks for adding to the convo.
