Disaster Consists in Language.

A dying culture destroys everything it touches. Language is one of the first things to go. Nobody really communicates with words anymore. Words have lost their emotional impact, intimacy, and ability to shock and make love. Language prevents communication.

“CARS LOVE SHELL.” How can I say, "I love you" after hearing: "CARS LOVE SHELL."

Does anyone understand what I mean? Nigger control is called "law and order." Stealing is called "capitalism."

But there's one word, which Amerika hasn't destroyed. One word which has maintained its emotional power and purity. Amerika cannot destroy it because she dare not use it. It's illegal! It's the last word left in the English language: FUCK!!!

The verbalism was come from Jerry Rubin (1938-1994, at the picture above), who is perhaps the most outlandish figure to ever defend American civil liberties, a revolutionary and anti-war activist in 60th. Maybe somebody felt a little funny when you read it, but it was so significant.

Language is an intermediary for people to think, say and translate the meaning, the base of communication. The boundary of language showed cause the increase of social content as time goes on. Jerry Rubin ever pointed that the meaning of language and the connection of words had had been totally destroyed by the sophistic rhetoric from commercial advertisement, national machine, and politician in the westerns of 60th.

What I real mean was “hate”, but it turned upside down to be “love” only by the marketing of advertisement. When this word, love, was been smeared, we had no ability to tell what is the real denotation of love. When the justice was converted into the evil, and the evil turned into the justice, we had no ability to tell what the justice and the evil are. The psychopathic language prevents communication.

So, the youth of 60th would started to slathered new colloquialism, and write in new colloquialism; they use any kind of illiberal word as well as “Fuck”, “X”, etc. to overturn and make a fool of traditional ones.

“Though these youth fought and understood the dislocation of the smeared and old-fashion language. Nevertheless, these people didn’t establish a new framework of another language and words. Their anger would become another stream without any foundation. The revolution had the same ending as well as criminality,” said by John O' Neill, the professor of York University in English. It means which it has logical integer in thinking, language and action. When we used the word, “virtue”, the truth could be an edge of the traditional dual opposition of conscience; we would locate the evil ones naturally at the moment. When we are self-confessed to be fealty, one edge of dual opposition between fealty and turpitude, we would find out who the guy of turpitude is move heaven and earth naturally.

Dual opposition and distinction between enemies and friends is an operant logic usually applied by imperator or governor. And this kind of logic lives too long for us to keep in our mind. The tragedy always happens for people to hunt for the opposite to be my self-approval, and will be fatal when we trace out the limitation of language and words. For example, Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (1758-1794) in French Revolution sent the enemies to the block and than hunted for the friends. Every friend would become the model of turpitude in the way for seeking.

Consequently, we can find out violence everywhere in language, in the words we used. And our action would be impressed by language till the end. Karl Popper (1902-1994) is right, disaster consists in language.
