On the overuse of "love" as a verb in modern society

Have you guys noticed how everyone simply "loves" everything nowadays?

>I love to travel
>I love that show
>I love coffee
>I love rainy days
>I love chocolate
>I love dogs
>I love to eat
>I love going to the movies
>I love Christmas
>I love technology
>I love my mom's food

No one "likes" or "enjoys" anything anymore. Why? Because we are becoming a more emotional and hyperbolic society.

But the real concern is that men, emulating the estrogen-soaked signals they pick from mass media, have also adopted the same womanish mode of expression.

Apart from impoverishing our vocabulary, the use of "love" as a verb to describe even the mildest of approval towards something indicate a far deeper problem that needs to be dealt with.

you are stupid

I love this post

cringe

maybe too because of the impoverishment of the language, beginning or the fact that the greeks had 4 conceps of love, storge, fraternal love, eros, sexual or romantic love, philia, friendship or the love between people who share an interest, and agape, more related to religious or unconditional love.

I find it more annoying how love is used as an argument for unity and calming people down. The typical hippie platitudes like "we must learn to love each other." Usually such people are too gutless to voice their own opinion out of fear of being the person that rocks the boat, or because they cannot bear the thought of somebody not liking them.

No we really just mean we should learn to love each other

love is a big thing....

"Empathy" too.

Ever heard of word2vec? Words are clusters in meaning space. Choosing different clusters doesn't change the underlying space.

You're wrong. It has more to do with people just being shit at vocabulary and literary expression you said. Same reason why people, use more emojis than words these days.
You alt right types really do pretend that modern liberals are driving this world to hell dont you? As if most of this stuff hasn't happened before.
And as if, somehow the world is worse. Get over yourself.

This is clearly generic semantic shift, not some kind of motivated reflection of intensified feelings.
The word "like" itself is already inverted from its original meaning, where it referred to something the object is pleased by instead of something the subject is pleased by:
>"Ðe licaþ se almihtiga God bet ðonne Þeodisius"
>"Which pleases the almighty God more than Theodosius"

When the Revolutionary Satanic Holocaust comes little bugmen like Pajama Boy here will be the first to taste their own blood and to scream like the cockroaches when their new blood finally flows out.

>Questioning my love of coffee
You have no idea what I've done.

And yet, you have not refuted any of the points presented as to why you are delusional.
Why is it no matter how hard anyone tries, discussions with you people are the equivalent of talking to a thick brick wall and end with insults? It's almost as if you have nothing of actual intellectual value to contribute despite all your talk...or wait.

Don't the word endings denote direction though, not the root?

Removing yourself from a situation where someone angers you rather than lashing out with threats and calling them names at the very least shows civility if not some minimal level of maturity, no?

About the syudy though. I'm a have a vestes interest in stats and study design. Couldn't the sample size be screwed seeing that most people in this country are liberal therefore, by sheer numbers, will have higher probability of having to respond to a political view that is against their own? Just saying. This is just a "minor" nitpick though, my main response is earlier.

language changes boomer get over it

Except it does, read a book.

>1. AT FIRST BLUSH. COUNTER-GOSPELS
[6.287]
> Philosophy, when just escaping from its golden pupa-skin, mythology, proclaimed the great evolutionary agency of the universe to be Love. Or, since this pirate-lingo, English, is poor in such-like words, let us say Eros, the exuberance-love. Afterwards, Empedocles set up passionate love and hate as the two coordinate powers of the universe. In some passages, kindness is the word. But certainly, in any sense in which it has an opposite, to be senior partner of that opposite, is the highest position that love can attain. Nevertheless, the ontological gospeller, in whose days those views were familiar topics, made the One Supreme Being, by whom all things have been made out of nothing, to be cherishing-love.

Hell yeah it's cool adam

No bro the main reason is we are becoming so fake that in order to get attention from someone we just exaggerate the situation. Where do you see all those statements? On internet.

I mean OP is on to something. Was close to it being a really good threads. Shame, really. Had to go the onions route instead.

Love isn't that significant of a word. You sound like you've been psyopped by western liberal marriage culture.

Love is a word that means absolutely nothing in the modern 'verse, absolute imbeciles use it to describe every fleeting feeling that they feel the need to attach to any and everything.

Stop watching anime.

So pathetic seeing the morons talk of language changing completely missing the sentimental implication of the word to which the OP is talking about.
But of course, people that fake love people and things and feel manufactured empathy must brush it aside because their brains are too consumed by a post-Internet way of perceiving reality.

modern *american* society
some of us are still normal

I would say the most responsible way to deal with a friend who had an opinion you disagree with is to simply ignore that opinion, not block the friend. I also think the fact that the only two options you see are either shunning or lashing out in anger tells a lot about how your puritan mind works.
