Welp, by the same logic, I guess social justice ain’t real justice.

Yes, because everything must always be literal and if something is not words just don’t have meaning anymore /s

That’s not the same logic though. His logic is “Noun A is part of noun AB, that does not mean noun AB is equal to or a subset of A.” While the way you’re interpreting it is “Noun A is part of noun AB, thus AB is not equal to and not a subset of A.” The important part is that his logic only dictates that the relationship between A and AB are independent of eachother, while your interpretation states that A depends on AB in an inverse manner. Ie: “We cannot say popcorn is or is not corn based on name alone,” vs “popcorn cannot be corn because corn is in the name.”

Not taking a side on social justice, the logical comparison you attempted just bothered me. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Adolf Hitler? Socialist.

Franklin Roosevelt? Socialist.

Joseph Stalin? Dare I say, he was a downright pinko!

The entirety of WWII was just leftist infighting over Trotskyist revisionism. Just a big ol’ non-binary fuss over intercontinental ballistic tweets. Wake up, sheeple!

Better off without him. I had to cut out a friend recently for, among other reasons, literally shushing me for being “too political.”

I was saying I hope we get back the half hour busses we had before covid. 🙄

Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Dinesh D’Souza, and Peter Hitchens among names you may have heard of.

As well as an endless supply of idiots on web forums throughout the last 30+ years.

This is the right’s favourite lie to distance themselves from the natural end result of their ideology.
