I cannot speak on the linguistic parameters of fragmentation but general observation and relevant studies show that English is suffering from globalisation of language and global induction from non-native languages.

While under normal social dynamics, it is not unusual that words are loaned, mannerisms are adopted and phrases are introduced. But it takes time and is gradual.

Nowadays, English, owing to local vernaculars and dialects is getting filled with all forms of words, mannerism and phrases which originated from a foreign language. It is changing on a very rapid scale and scope.

I think you would be able to converse on basic terms but some of the grammars and phrases would have completely different meaning. I don't have examples at hand here but a look through unaltered old edition (new print) Bible does provide some glimpse that indeed the English then was different to what we understand as being normal. Heck even Tolkien's writing form is an effort to go through, even taking in account that it is a fiction and literary work.

Yes

Modern English poetry, around 400 years old

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to

English, 600 years ago

Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

English, a little over 1000 years ago

Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in gear-dagum

Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum

Baboonery and general tomfoolery. Horseplay too.

I'm sorry but that half of the tally is not what "muh holohoax" stormfags focus on.

My grandma grew up during Italian/German occupation in Yugoslavia. Saw half the men in her village get shot over four years. Always askes why the only thing the USA talks about is da jooos vis a vis WWII suffering. Lol I love u baba

Fuck off kid do your own homework

And if you use any answer from this thread I really hope your teacher googles his questions before coming to class

>>2438359
We are allowed to use information from the internet. That is why I asked for links so I can refer to the site.

I'm still suffering to this day, you dumb goy. My ancestors will suffer for eternity.

by sheer numbers probably WWII, but the near-utter destruction of the cultures of the americas is imo the most tragic thing that ever happened in human history.

The conquest of Africa

Americans at least got to mix with the Europeans and they have societies where people can live properly (maybe with less standards than the average 1st world country, but enough people have internet, fresh water, access to schools and aren't dying from hunger).

Africans to this day live in some of the worst conditions with the less stability in the world. And while some of it is indeed their fault, the stablishment of arbitrary divisions (both territorial and racial) by the European conquerors allowed for some of the most horrible acts comitted in Earth.

Arr rook same

Hirohito was just a puppet though, his government used him as a propaganda tool.

>believing in post-war propaganda claims about hirohito being a dindu

if hummanity has evolved millions of years believing in all sorts of crazy shit, then thinking the purpose of our living is to find pure undissputed truth appears to be a little bit spooked yes

Feels are the realest reals. The entirety of your being is still instinct.

Not spooked:
- joy
- fear
- surprise
- sadness
- disgust
- anger

Spooked: everything else

Because US's only cultural wasteland is Alaska and some middle American states. Our cultural wasteland is literally anything that isn't Southern Ontario, Montreal, and Western BC. The rest is either irrelevant (Nova Scotia) or tundra (Nunavut)

low pops

Low population and a good chunk of our territory is frozen bullshit.

Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.

throughout his life and career, he had a patrician sympathy with the underdog. He served in the ranks in the war, having failed the competition for a commission, and developed a contempt for hierarchy and authority (besides his own) and a social sympathy for the less fortunate that was genuine and lasting. His political initiation – and his early political power base – was in organisations for returning prisoners of war. This need not have led him to the socialist left but it helped him accomplish the transition with an authenticity born to some degree from experience.
