Dictionopolis, NY -- Experts from the International Guild of Linguists (IGL) have issued a warning that the word "racism" is being used too often in print and speech. They offer convincing evidence that the word itself is becoming worn out and may become completely unusable in the next 20-40 years if utilization continues at the same pace.
The descriptions "threadbare" and "frayed" feature prominently in a 17-page report submitted yesterday to the peer-reviewed journal "Annals of the IGL." Their report "Analysis of the yearly usage rate of the "R" word" noted that it now appears in almost every article and story produced digitally and in print form. The comprehensive study looked at all English language publishing - fiction and non-fiction - and all subjects from Ancient Armenian Architecture to Zulu Zookeepers: nearly everything appears to be connected somehow to racism.
Figure 9 in the report includes a convincing 'hockey stick' shaped graph showing estimates of the usage going back 2,000 years. An alarming increase is evident since the year 1998, which will soon result in what the report calls "the inevitable catastrophe of the world's first completely worn out word." Most of recorded history shows the word usage rate in the thousands per year. By contrast, the highest usage on record was in 2020, with more than 80 quadrillion instances. The IGL has also been asking for help from mathematicians to come up with new and higher numbers, in case the world's governments don't respond quickly with drastic and concerted action.
They also noted that a few thousand "super-users" are obsessed with the word and appear to be driving this rapid increase. Findings include the revelation that many politicians, college professors, journalists, and sports personalities are using it an average of every 5th word in speech and print.
The report's primary recommendation is that "Words can withstand a lot of abuse: getting dropped, twisted, stretched - you name it. However, no word in history has seen this level of constant wear and tear for so long. Our strong recommendation is to start talking about other things again."

Panem Et Circenses, NY -- Experts from the International Guild of Linguists (IGL) have issued a warning that the word "racism" is being used too often in print and speech.
Just as The International Guild of Linguini has noted, hyperbole is fine until it becomes hyperbolic. We at the WooHoo Labs are facing this same dilemma. The once beautiful mask, the vaunted destructor of capitalist sales and services, the ruination of freedom inspiring concerts and the exercise of greedy individual choice, have become despised by many through overuse and subsequent lack of oxygen. Unless fear instilling Variants can be dispersed quickly it may not be possible to inhibit not only decadent gatherings at concerts, bars and restaurants, BUT Comrades, the Trump Rallies may resume and be impossible to keep out of Media. This can not be allowed. Trump and the American Economy must remain stifled by the superior viral & psychological warfare of the Righteous Socialists of the World even if we must eliminate 2/3 of the population to accomplish continued victory. Though my Trusty Saw, Rusty revels in the resumed Limb Removals that we have executed on behalf of the State, I must sacrifice and return to the WooHoo Labs for New Variant creation and dispersal. Please refrain from overuse of the R word we must not mention but help us create new variants. Battle in your refrigerator's, surrender your sanitation, infect and send forth your Pet Party Bats, and inspire fear by continuing to wear your masks. At this time we must starve Racism but Feed our Viruses. Look Forward as Always to next Tuesday and write to Dr. Worddust at the WooHoo Labs in WooHoo China with ideas and new names for the New Variants. Though I long for the simple life with my Trusty Saw, Rusty as a State Certified Dr. of Limb Removal I must forgo these simple pleasures and proclaim to all Comrades, "All for WooHoo, WooHoo for All" In parting may I suggest that we substitute the codeword Toeist for Racist as we wait for the Peoples New Variant.

New variants? I like the one called "Delta Variant" - sounds like Andromeda Strain or a Tom Clancy novel to me. Very scary - makes me want to put my 7 masks back on and start washing my hands again.https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/pani ... ta-variant

Even Vernon Jones knows/shows, CNN can't racist like Alinsky used to.
Zyzzyva, tended by scions of Zuaves (who, when of Żywiec origin, call themselves Żuawi).
Komrades!
Just think of the gazillion utter- and appearances of the R-word in the vast (till now!) non-covered realm from Aabenraa-Aachen-Aalborg to Ancient Armenia, from Zulu Zoo to Zzyzx Zyzzyva, from just-stop-at-Z-alphabets to Żywiec Żuawi!
(and don't dare to even think of Cyrillic, where "W (written В)" is already № 3(!), while yet № 8(!!!) carries Ж, the Cyrillic Ż (which itself is beyond(!) Abecedarium Latinum) ; now imagine what horrors may follow № 8... ; and then there also are all those non-Russian Cyrillics!...)
Erected by Bulgars and Mongols in 2018 (at their joint Antarctica base).
Science, my ass. Trying to sell Cyrillic to (Antarctic!) Eskimo??? Товарищ Эскимо this, товарищ Эскимо that...
And then, just think about how many R-words get spewed (hourly! and all them under IGL's radar!) right here, at the foot of that "innocent" Antarctic erection!
Ужас!
Horror!
The HORRORRR! .

That's the ticket, comrades!
Them mathmen mathxpersonx, they surely can present juicy numbers of all those R-words uttered (yet uncounted!) in the vast "blank areas" of our planet - stretching from Aabenraa to Armenia and from Zulu to Zzyzx ....
You know: Kreative "modelling" (like those Klimate and Korona suites, da?), "scenarios", gazillions of runs (while monkeying with "parameters"), and... BAMMM!, here comes yer preconceived Inconvenient Truth!
And then, those mathematicians, they have further elaborate Big Berthas in their torturechamber. (ever heard of ↑n symbolics? (→nerds) ; that is, Reuben Goodstein's hyperoperations concept and Donald Knuth's arrow notation thereto?)
Komrade! You may or may not be familiar with those kinky ideas. Nonetheless report today – shovel already cleaned and returned to Barn #2 ! – at Politruk Woodshed #314, 7:00 p.m. GMT (Gulag Memorization Time), to attend a stern Neo-Marxian dressing-down deconstructing those Judeo-Whitey burzhui hallucinations.
Not to forget the most recent (and indeed, mathwise quite trivial – yet for the chattering- and bureaucratizing- and politbureau classes a Hosanna) apparatus: the jolly exponentializin'. Actually, it's ongoing (after all, vee haf now ze Delta, ja?).

When talking about Numbers (here: just natural numbers, the 1, 2, 3, ...), there is no "Beyond Infinity" ; there is an infinite sequence of Infinities (I1, I2, I3, ...), and "beyond" that yet another one, and yet yet another, and yet yet yet ....... ; there simply is NO end (as long as we talk Numbers, ok?).
Likewise there is no end to "n×n×n Rubikizing": just choose the n as "big" as you wish, and play with estimating (or even calculating) the number of all combinations ― zhelayu bal'shikh uspyekhov, comrade! .

Liberal, equality, racism against anyone not following the party line => "doubleplusgood"
Everything outside the party line => "doubleplusungood"

Yesss! Jawohl, Komrade Minitrue! That's the final solution!
Yet soon - NTeoTH(!)1 - xzeym2 will have (shout-out to Komrade M's glorious Ministry!) the strictly binary doubleplusgood XOR doubleplusungood.

Meticulous planning - NOW! - is of extreme importance!
Vee vill need historically unprecedented, nuancedly sophisticated technocratic expertise. I think here of Klaus-Ernst Stavro Vissarionovich Schwabfeldov as Generalissimus of the Committee of Uniplanetary Networking Technocrats (CUNT), alias Techpolitnet. Next, Grigoriy RaRaRasputinovich Sorosov who will oversee the (heh-heh) "financial" flank, Financial UniCUNT Check & Kontrol (FUCK).
Ze steps are clear: By 2030 vee are carbonless, 2040 fully sustainactivative (heh-heh.. rememba, Komrade M, how vee had to switch from "sustainable" to "sustainative" and then "sustaininnovative" - because of zat damn wearout... Agenda 2001.. Agenda 2022.. Agenda 2030.. heh-heh)
Of course we will need the rarified expertness (full commitment!) of our exalted Komrade Dimitri "Felixovich" Kissov.. Ja, our Humble Liquidator..
(and once all this is in the bag, vee of course shift 2050 → 2040, heh-heh-heh)
