schwastika
the "schwa" - a bizarre holdover from the 1970's? a Project Paperclip wet dream? It's worse than fluoridated city water - a ubuiquitous, silent, weapon, easily conforming itself to any shape within any
word, a Teletubbie, a degeneracy-virus penetrating every phonemic crevice. Eerily, even pleasantly, trotted out as "established" or "accepted", yet clearly accepted only under duress and by clouded minds. And whom does it effect?
Do Russian dictionaries (the ones printed in Russian, in Russia) have schwa"s?
The proper way to phonemically represent the sounds falsely represented by the "schwa", as may have been done in some previous era, is a crossed-thru one of those uncial capital E's, or a crossed-thru neutral phonemic vowel closest to the one written. Schwa is used to
substitute for, inotherwords despecify, a variety of now-unstressed syllables, the reason for despecification remaining perhaps ill-advised, and yet unquestionable.
Schwa is used to aid in the glossing-over of any "becoming" in language, as if a placeholder for placeholding itself-- a mysterious and quiet time machine: time thawed by the "schwa", as it
accelerates the reader into a future that will never arrive, a future where all unstressed syllables are basically indistinguishable, then snaps him/her back into the present where superficiality and
mincing have rounded the teeth and weakened the gums so as 2 cause speakers 2 avoid all sensitivity and articulation wherever possible, such as inbetween syllables. The introduction of the "schwa"
informs, expertly, that one must slur one's speech. It is another devious sort of device-aiding-device, a device aid, for it remains, during the day, unexamined, inocuously supporting slyness and
insinuity in white-on-white racism, &c., emerging at night 2 give life 2 the whirlwind. The "schwa" functions as a makeshift drycleaning tag, showing up whatever else is correct or corrected, where it is not. It is a made-in-China,
generically outsourced substitute-brand cushion in the train couplings of a word or phrase, sucking the life out of it, making it look necessary or normal or inevitable. It is a swastika.
