Well done, you have defined autocratic authoritarianism. Now define fascism. hint: it goes much further than that and is very definitely economically right wing and socially regressive

You're right, fascism is more than just a right wing ideology. But it IS a right wing ideology, the left literally cannot be fascists. They can be fucking awful (and indeed are) but they are still better than the ACTUAL fascists that trump and his cult are

Yeah trump and his cult are actually fascists. Don't know about the rest of the party but trump is, and so are several other major right-wing figures who are gaining too much ground worldwide. Look up Mussolini. Also learn the definition of fascism (it's not just authoritarianism you don't like)

Or we could ditch the idea that everyone needs to work and allow that technology will allow for lives of leisure. You're not going to reduce the birth rate because people like fucking, and you're not going to remove this technology, so other solutions need to be found. We have them, we know that they are (UBI, hint hint), we just need politicians who are willing to implement them and that is where we are failing right now

Didn’t Bill Gates revolutionize home computing for the average user?

By literally stealing DR DOS, swapping the drive letters for the hard drive and floppy disk, and rebranding as MS DOS

My partner has been in hospital for six or seven weeks, had had a foot amputation, vast amounts of medication, a couple of days in the HDU (one step down from intensive care), and I don't know what else. Costs so far: a couple of takeaway meals and some coffee. I didn't even need to pay for parking because I'm disabled too and so have a blue badge!

They're sometimes called garden path sentences because they lead you up the garden path. Some more examples: https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/garden-sentences-262915

Oh, train is a verb not a noun here! I thought you meant a toy train set, and was very confused for a moment

Well that's certainly a hot take!

Is it the shape of a gorilla as well? And as furry? Because you should probably get that checked out

Gorillas have tiny penises, by the way

Same. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Wait,

not that
