They can't even hold the mirror up in the right direction.

For anyone that hasn't read the book, Moist von Lipwig was a con man and a counterfeiter. He defrauded a bank with bogus bonds to the point that the bank went insolvent and every business tied to the bank went under with it.

There is no fair comparison between the two, and any attempt to do so is laughably ridiculous.

I wonder how they're going to make it difficult to replace the small tank with a larger one.

Absolutely, yes. They will also use the authority of the state in the pursuit of ideological ends, as we are seeing with court orders regarding child gender surgery.

You've got a great point at the end.

But being authoritarian doesn't mean having authority; it's the over-application of authority. I would argue that the left is more authoritarian than the right.

The problem is perception and critical thinking. "The man in the TV said right-wing ideology is nootzie fascismus. Therefore everyone on the right is a Hitler-Putin."

To those that believe the messaging, the right can only be seen as authoritarian, and moreover, will always be portrayed as less ethical regardless of how tyrannical the message from the left becomes.

I've heard Rosa Parks was part of that marxist trend in the black community, and her bus ride incident was co-conspired by at least one journalist.

Why do they let little children on the internet in your country? Little boys like you need to understand that this is a place for grown men. And I don't mean the grown men in your country that like to touch little boys like you. I mean normal grown men that understand how disgusting it is to want to touch little boys like you.

They don't even have to find measels virus in their patients to declare a marked outbreak. All it required is the right symptoms and enough time passed since the last outbreak.

Existed, yes. Tested, no. None of the vaccines in the childhood schedule have been properly tested against inert placebos.

They also have a perverse fascination with excretory organs

You said the south did themselves a disservice by firing first. Is that not to say they acted shamefully? Perhaps I misread your intent, but you seem to think they were in the wrong for doing it.

In my opinion calling it a "trap" is stretching the lexicon to a breaking point. It's hardly a trap to point a loaded gun at someone to goad them into self defense.

Then how is it shameful that they fired first? Should they have waited for the subjugation to commence? Do US citizens need to be shot before they can exercise the second amendment?

Then would you agree that a well supplied military regiment with warships occupying a fort within a border with port access after they agreed to leave is an act of aggression?

That's ludicrous and you know it. Any leader would consider a heavily armed and supplied force at their doorstep an act of aggression because there's no real expectation that they're just going to sit there. You don't ship weapons and supplies to soldiers so they can just sit there.

You're being intentionally obtuse because you want the north to be in the right.

The south could've left it alone? That's insane. It's just as insane as expecting Russia not to react to an expansion of NATO. The south had seceded, so the union had no right to maintain military presence.

You're intentionally dodging the question of what Lincoln was going to do with those reinforced, resupplied troops.

And if they hadn't fired first, would the union troops have packed up their supplies and munitions and shipped out on their warships? Because that's the only situation in which it would have been a trap. It was an act of war.

Lincoln said he was going to withdraw troops from Fort Sumpter. Instead he sent reinforcements and supplies. The south fired first because they weren't idiots.
