Yes, now imagine how we feel, reading BS comments like yours… What a stupid thing to say.

Sorry, were we talking about fascist capture of state power?

Not sure what treaties have to do with it. Liberalism is not just an economic position, it has political dimensions as well.

In pretty much every historical example I’m aware of, liberals happily ceded to or collaborated with the fascist seizure of the state.

It’s happening again and no one has ANY excuse to be surprised.

You sound a lot like someone who could benefit from reading Parenti’s Blackshirts and Reds.

Liberal democracy sides with fascism literally always. Read some fucking history.

I’m not sure the world can afford them getting any stupider than they already are!

I had a feeling this piece would be pretty milquetoast, but goddamn.

It sure seems like it sometimes 🤣

Non sequitir.

The presence of an IBC tote would imply the presence of some equipment necessary to move it (at least a pallet jack, possibly a forklift), maybe.

However, the inverse does not follow: absence of a tote does not imply the absence of the equipment needed to move one. The presence or absence of the equipment is logically independent of the absence of the equipment (even though it would be be implied by the presence of the equipment).

This is called denying the antecedent. The conditional does not imply the inverse. In symbolic terms:

Conditional: p → q
Inverse: ¬p → ¬q

(p → q) → (¬p → ¬q) is false.

If you’re going to make claims on the Internet, it’s worth learning at least a little propositional logic.

Document specifically states 6 55-gal drums.

You know there is a difference between the voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives, right? The voiced was represented with “thorn”, while the unvoiced was represented with the letter “eth”. They do contrast phonemically sometimes, so if you’re going to bother using thorn, you might consider using eth too.

Repeat after me: IF THEY DON’T COMPLY, WE WILL MAKE THEM!

Holy shit is this author incompetent.

Trump himself may be a pure “patrimonialist”. But to act like the rest of the American ruling class aren’t textbook corporatist fascists defies credulity.

What a fucking idiot. People like this can’t be trusted with a pen, much less a goddamned ballot.

I’m not a Marxist communist, if that’s what you mean. I think if you ask just about any actually practicing leftists of basically any stripe whether the age of Western colonialism has actually ended, you will be laughed at.

But it’s clear that you are unlikely to understand what most of these terms mean, so I’ll stop tilting at windmills and move on with my life.

If you think the anti-colonial project is anywhere near complete, I’m dumbfounded. Are you just… not even aware of the existence of the Global South?

Your position is indistinguishable from badly-executed farce. Maybe you should study a lot more history and social science and spend a little less time being a pretend leftist on the Internet.
