"Palumbo-Liu claims that we make the egregious error of failing to distinguish between the term “antifa” and its variant “antifascist,” used in the name of his organization the Campus Antifascist Network. Given that perhaps the most prominent scholar of the antifa movement, Mark Bray, has titled his book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, I hope that we may be forgiven for equivocating the two terms. Claiming that they have separate meanings in today’s political culture is Bill Clinton-level linguistic obfuscation reminiscent of his infamous statement, “depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” "
Alexa: "... a person who terrorizes or frightens others."
Me: "Alexa, define the word 'terrorize'"
Alexa "... to dominate or coerce by intimidation."
Me: "Alexa, define the word 'fascism'"
Alexa: "A political regime, having totalitarian aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and the centralized government, business-and-government control of the marketplace, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights"
Me: "Alexa, what is conservative liberalism?"
Alexa "...conservative liberalism promotes ordered liberty under God and establishes constitutional safeguards against tyranny. It shows that a regime of liberty based on traditional morality and classical-Christian culture is an achievement we can be proud of, rather than merely defensive about, as trustees of Western civilization"
Me: "Alexa, what is tyranny?"
Alexa: "oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler."
Me: "Thank you for the explanations Alexa, I think I'm done here."
Siri doesn't have the same answer, can anybody confirm this is Alexa's output?
I should have been more specific so I didn't wind up with so many blowhards downvoting me
