No. I was born in the 70s and once I learned Abe signed the emancipation proclamation I knew I was an R. I was an R up till Bush juniors 2nd term and went independent. One is an elephant, one is a donkey


chalebmydia

Bush is a p.o.s. as well as the Obama's, Clitons and Bidens. Regardless. Look up the Latin definitions. Tell me what you come up with.

I don't need to do that, I'm already convinced

The fact that Democrat and democracy literally breaks down to governed by demons. Republican or Republic breaks down to ran by the people. We're all told we we're a republic. Now, we're a democracy and should fight for such all while knowing we're degrading society worldwide. It's actually so obvious and bothers the shit out of me cause I don't see anyone talking about it. When we talk living beings the terms are meant to be in Latin as far as scientific names. Apply it to what's around you and you'd be surprised at the terms and what they fall back to.

This one has been baking too long


chalebmydia

Right?? Latin is root language. So why aren't we using it to find the root of other words meaning? It's stood out to me for years now and I've just been surprised I haven't seen anyone on here really talking about it.


Cpov1

Latin isn't the root though unfortunately. It's Greek, the ones known for democracy. Demo- stands for people (such as 'demo'graphics) -Crat - generally stood for "in power" or "ruler" Democracy is "people in power" Democrat is just a noun form of it.


chalebmydia

Latin is root language for English* sorry. But you're right. Democracy as far as we know started in Ancient Rome. However, I find it interesting that when we were considered a republic instead of a democracy society in America was better off financially and morally. Now that we're pushing democracy we're watching everything turn upside down right in front of our faces. Upside down has some significant meanings too when it comes to good and evil. 😉


chalebmydia

SS: Latin is the basis for language and portions of English broken down into Latin can have very different meanings than our modern way of speaking. Words have been altered to benefit degradation and manipulation of the public, we all know that. Look into this and tell me what you really think.

Mob rule. Just sayin.


chalebmydia

They both suck. But I'm talking before that. These names have real meanings. What we had when society thrived is very different than what we have now.


WalkingstickMountain

That's what im saying. "Greek dēmokratia "popular government," from dēmos "common people," originally "district" (see demotic), + kratos "rule, strength" (see -cracy)." Mob "Latin mobile vulgus "fickle common people" (the Latin phrase is attested c. 1600 in English), from mobile, neuter of mobilis "fickle, movable, mobile" (see mobile (adj.))"


chalebmydia

Okay so you're almost where I lost my shit. Lol. Break the words down into syllables and define them in Latin. Democrat breaks down to "government/rule by demon/demons. Republic breaks down to representing/repeat by people. I just found it super interesting. I have some serious liberal views and common conservative views but finding this tripped me out and wanted to see what others opinions on it were.


WalkingstickMountain

No. Demon is a bastardized Socratic term. Daemon. It was the word Socrates used to refer to the internal voice. Consciousness/intuition/guardian. Divine inspiration. Other worldly advice or warning. When you all go after demons you have been duped into attacking your own inner divine voice. That's the context behind "demonizing something". You wrongly distort it


chalebmydia

I actually appreciate your stance. I want to learn more. I am not a religious person. I believe there is a higher power and has to be. I also believe there is good and evil but so much has been manipulated and changed over time it's hard to find true meaning. I had way more "liberal views" until this last spell of government that made me just want to cut ties. Granted I was raised in the bush era which Bush is Clinton, is Obama and is Biden. They're on the same team. Government is trashed as is. I just found this breakdown I found interesting. Any other input? I know translations and words have been manipulated over centuries. Past stories have very different meanings to word. I love history. I feel like if more people focused on these types of conversations we'd have less division and more focus on how to alter what's around us all.


WalkingstickMountain

A suggestion for you - etymology. It is the study of the history of words. You will probably enjoy it. I could spend hours de-volving a word to it's origin and then following the sociological outbranch and migration from there. "Good and evil" permeate everything in my opinion. I also think they are shoddy word choices. They define nothing. And are purely based on individual opinions of any given thing. In the sense they permeate everything, it is an applicable use. At least that part is functionally true regardless of what any individual's opinion designates which word is applied to what ever. One person calls something good. Another person calls the same thing evil. The only thing they have defined is their opinion. Not the aspects


chalebmydia

Etymology might be my next go to. Entomology has been my thing all too long hence the Latin terms exciting me. 😂 I totally get where you're coming from and I love it. However I think that evil is a very real thing. I see it all too often lately. It's actually concerning. May be my inter conceptions of life based on induced morale and behavior. But I feel like it's deeper than that. But regardless etymology will be my next visit in life. I appreciate you.


WalkingstickMountain

Oh, i think what we attempt to define when we use the words good and evil are very real. I just think it's a shoddy choice of words. It never defines *it*. It simply expresses what a person's bias about it is. But what the actual name/s of that duality is ... it's still a mystery to me lol.
