Ever seen a movie called V for Vendetta?

The word "means" is also used for logical entailment, in which case it's not symmetric. The dog's coat is wet which means it's raining. And of course, a man is a featherless biped, but not every featherless biped is a man.

But the way, we are not arguing about the same thing. You think I'm defending the stupid ruling. I'm not, I'm just saying that language is not algebra.

In fact to paraphrase Nish Kumar, if we're going about precisely characterizing things, a more interesting precise characterization than the meaning of the word woman is the characterization of the people who obsess about it as transphobic idiots.

LMDE because it's Mint and a recent Debian stable.

I don't think anything in the ruling hinged on the semantics if the world "means". That said, there is nothing ambiguous in saying that a logical relation is not symmetric. Symmetry, like reflexivity, transitivity etc, are well defined in algebra.

Rapist doesn't understand that "No means no".

The American mind cannot comprehend this.

Only if you assume that the word "means" defines a symmetric relation.

Really? Just google "Poilievre deport" and the first two hits are literally:

It's barely a dogwshitle at this point.

Don't cherry pick the phrase, give the rest of the context of what he said.

That's a silly american-centric way of understanding Canadian politics. There are ridings where the LPC is the spoiler in an NDP-CPC race or in a BQ-CPC race. Use your brain, don't parrot Americanisms.

Help a tired brain out. Are you making the stupid argument that pro-Palestine advocacy is incitement to discrimination and hatred and war propaganda for Hamas?

When it comes to opposing Israeli apartheid itself, sure, almost no. I guess the difference is the Liberals will not oppose the ICJ and ICC, whereas the Conservatives would align with Trump in smashing them. That's a low bar.

When it comes to crushing the opposition here in Canada, hell yea, there is a difference: Poiliievre wants to deport activists, ICE style.. The Liberals haven't gone to any such extreme.

Ultimately, look, we don't have a presidential election, we have 343 MP elections in as many ridings. If the Conservatives have any chance at winning your riding, rally around whoever is not a fascist to defeat them, be that NDP, Liberal or Bloc. KEEP THE MAPLE MAGA OUT. In any other riding, do vote for Palestine. A Liberal minority is still a great outcome for Canada anyway.

It is utterly shameful for Germany to be doing shit like this. Disgraceful.

That's exactly the spirit! <3

So fix it.

Annoying NIMBY gentrifiers.

It's right next to a couple of major bus arteries, both of which take you to the metro and a major multi-use pathway (one of the best in Montreal). Given the housing shortage in the city, it really shouldn't be hard to find 50 families willing to make that particular compromise.

"Israeli fascist, go fuck yourself."
