So the people who spent a good oh, 30 years as a party, and many here who are using "liberal" as an insult to mean anything under the sun that has nothing to actually do with the definition of liberalism are now bitching about this?

I'm sure the irony is completely lost on them as well

Google the word "liberal" and tell me if the popular usage by trolls is represented there, like it is with "fascism".

Because you guys are too butthurt about something so trivial to ever listen.

Well one, I don't agree that an attempt to change the definition of words to suit your political agenda is trivial, and two, I've proven wrong every serious attempt to argue in favor of the definition ITT.

Which is why people like you are now resorting to shitposting :)

Right, but this brings us back to the little hitler thing. SInce forever "fascist" has been a word that people use to explain the annoying parking attendant who gives you a ticket for being exactly 1 minute over the meter. Obviously, that's not actually what a fascist is.

A person with authority using their power to be a tyrant?

That's a better definition of a fascist than being "intolerant". Your example gives no credence at all to Google's addition.

That's the whole point, though. Google is not trying to redefine fascism. It's including a typical descriptor of fascism to help explain it to someone who wants to know what it means, and "intolerant" is one of many things that's central in fascism.

If a word is given multiple definitions, not every definition must be met for the word to be used. That's not how dictionaries work.

It doesn't just say "intolerant views".

I never said it just says "intolerant views". It's still one of the definitions.

pinky0926 posted...

Google is not saying that if you are intolerant then you are a fascist.

And yet someone who is "intolerant" meets the definition of a fascist, according to Google.

It's almost as if dictionary definitions summarised in 100 words are less are inadequate to comprehensively explain an entire political ideology.

It's the definition that comes up when you ask google for the definition of fascism...

Even a summary of the definition shouldn't just say "intolerant views"

Of course since the left declares anyone who has an opinion apart from theirs as intolerant, this means they can call almost anybody a fascist and Google will agree with them.

But in an extreme form of irony that even they may not be aware, they kept "authoritarian" in there, basically condemning all left-wing ideologues to the definition of fascism as well.

Everybody's fascist!

And since the only two realistic options as far as the land goes are to either let Israel keep it or give it to a brutal Islamic regime, the choice SHOULD be obvious.

The 2 State solution will never work.

What we need is a 4 State solution.


- East Palestine = The West Bank

- West Palestine = Gaza Strip

- Israel will have to respect the Green Line

- Jeruselum will have to become a independent City State like Vatican City / Singapore

- Help with a large Real Estate sale of Egypt selling off the Sinai Peninsula to Israel

- Help with a large Real Estate sale of Syria selling off the Golan Heights to Israel

- Make sales conditional upon Israel never occupying territory within West / East Palestine, other nations, or anything out of their territory ever

- Then for West Palestine (Gaza Strip) to get proper relief, the citizenry over there must vote out Hamas from power and put in a political force that isn't a terrorist organization, including not allowing ANY former Hamas member into power.

This is a well thought-out solution that absolutely nobody on either side would be happy with.

I get that Israel does pretty bad things, but to compare their transgressions to a brutal theocratic state like Palestine, Israel may as well be Switzerland. And since the only two realistic options as far as the land goes are to either let Israel keep it or give it to a brutal Islamic regime, the choice SHOULD be obvious.

It's just really bizarre seeing people who call themselves social progressives being in support of a Nation that executes gay people and female adulterers. Why is there such a large camp within the progressive movement so want them to have power?

I kinda thought we were meant to think that.

"Rich black kids face micro aggressions in their fancy rich people school and think that makes them "woke" - are super shook the. first time they face something close to real adversity" is as accurate a title as dear white people, just less punchy

If that was the case, why bring the issue full-circle by having the dean save his son from (almost) getting a gun pulled on him all slow-mo, and hold on his face for awhile as if he may change his mind about guns on campus

Reggie should have been shot. It would've actually given them some stakes to fight for, and since they didn't the writers had to throw in the thing about the donors being racists in the 11th hour which had nothing to do with the plot at all.

Labour lost 212 seats, leaving them with 623.
