    Just in case anyone is curious-

    parent (n.)

    early 15c. (late 12c. as a surname), “a mother or father; a forebear, ancestor,” from Old French parent “father, parent, relative, kin” (11c.) and directly from Latin parentem (nominative parens) “father or mother, ancestor,” noun use of present participle of parire “bring forth, give birth to, produce,” from PIE root *pere- (1) “to produce, bring forth.” Began to replace native elder after c. 1500. also from early 15c.

    BIG GOVERNMENT has apparently been planning this since feudalism.

      You believe the dictionary about the definition of words? Don’t you know the word dictionary was invented in 1793 when a homesteader fucked a woman named Mary? Turns out Mary was married to a member of the sinister Jewish cabal that decided to invent the dictionary as a means of deceiving the goiym - thus dicks-on-Mary.

      Daily reminder that most conspiracies point to the Jews, and that becoming a sovcit is an indicator of an upcoming pivot to Nazism.

      OH MY GISH !!! parent comes from the Latin for to produce??? Like produce that can be shipped in ships, therefore when you are Berne’s you become produce that can be shipped on a ship, turning you in a product of the US government corp (unincorporated), which means that when you are driving you are actually being shipped as freight in your car, which means that only maritime law applies and that the cop that is stopping you doesn’t have jurisdiction because you are actually a shipped good and he isn’t the coast guard or a customs officer.

      That also means that you can’t physically be charged for stuff because the shipping company (i.e. the US government) is actually responsible for all the costs incurred during shipping (i.e. you driving) under the imperial maritime charter or 1753 and the amended treaty of Orville of 1772.

      That makes sense now. Thank you!!!

      Love how this definition is just like “the word parent is from the word parent from the word parent from the word parent.”
