    With Musks twitter account being an official, registered, Tesla communication channel?
    Will you soon pop up claiming that press conferences from Tesla should automatically be assumed to be lies?

    I think you are confused. Severely so.

    In my experience it means that the person saying/writing it is a fucktard (most cases) or some sort of contrarian like nerds focusing on "technical correctness" instead of real world use of the term.

    The main problem would be eliminated if we could agree for a term for batshit insane people pushing some strange "social" agenda and leave the SJW term for the people trying to right what they perceive as real world social problems - because $DEITY knows there still are a lot of those. Example of the batshit insane people are those that claim to do good for (they claim) underprivileged group while actually making things worse for all people, or those that try to remove gender from technical discussions not related to human anatomy while actually pushing some gender based agenda. Insane. Or those idiots that doesn't like meritocracy in fields that are all about merits and not anatomical features or political views of the people involved... Insane.

    But that's just like my opinion man and everyone knows I'm a rabid SJW - after all everyone not throwing stones on women and transsexuals are obviously rabid reactionaries. And yes people have that opinion. Fucking scary.

    Corporatism is part of fascism however was not invented by fascists. The description is however the main problem, Mussolini and the others wanted to eliminate unions by forcing workers and employers to work together in a state-enforced system.
    Also unlike the German regime at the time Italian fascism wasn't a pure dictatorship - there were a council with considerable power. They voted to dispose of Mussolini for example, something unthinkable in the Reich where military and others swore an oath to Adolf Hitler.

    Well. Their French model "Guilty until you prove innocence" justice.quote>

    I assume you have examples?

    The fact that all the people with actual power are unelected and unaccountable.

    One could say the same about the US (supreme court) however that would be equally false.

    The fact that if the people with the power don't want something passed, it either isn't addressed, or they play parlimentary games to assure that the vote goes their way.

    Examples?

    And there's no way, beyond violence, to actually redress anything.

    Obviously false.

    The fact that what they're pushing for is the EU, which was merely supposed to be a trade alliance, as a totalitarian super-state and stealing the right of ACTUAL self-government from the member nations.

    They? The ideas what the EU should be are many.

    The right kind of glass is generally good, but why do you think plastics are used in some cases where the container have to be really inert (strong acids for instance)? Because some plastics aren't affected by things that make glass dissolve.

    Plastic is a description of material property, plastics a description of a material class that are (generally) plastic and made of some sort of polymer often (but not always) man made. Plastics aren't inherently toxic and anyone thinking they are should be forced back to school.
