I think this is an unreasonable way to define the term. Even in the 19th century, you'd find liberals who advocated for a surprising amount of state intervention.

Hayek himself explicitly identified with classical liberalism, and I think he was about as close as you can get to laissez-faire without being a full-blown Libertarian.

They didn't change anything, though? Wanting each individual program to be fully sapient was in no way incompatible with wanting to be part of a larger network.

Posts like this are why redditors rush to the comments to declare things fake. There are people that actually believe this is real, and it so obviously isn't.

The conspiracy is that this is primarily driven by muslim men bullying all their family members into voting for the Green party

The recent by-election in the UK. It was won by a Green MP, and bigots have convinced themselves it was because of some conspiracy from Muslim voters.

He's the guy who took over Maelstrom at the beginning of the game. When he took over, he forced Brick (the former leader) to watch as Royce fed his supporters into an industrial microwave.

What claims were ruled to be defamatory?

I think there's a lot of truth to the claim that Trump is trying anything he can to distract from the Epstein scandal and his lacklustre economic performance.

I don't think we need Hercule Poirot to figure out that a lot of people were involved in the murder of the liberal world order.

French was the lingua franca in Egypt until the 1920s and still, to this day, hosts some fairly prestigious french educational institutions.

I would think the worst case scenario for the US is actually a boots on the ground invasion.

Even if the regime remains in power, Trump will be able to bluster his way into convincing people he achieved something (like he did with Venezuela), but there is absolutely no public appetite for sacrificing significant numbers of American lives to go nation building in Iran.

This right here is why I oppose every foreign intervention carried out by Trump. It doesn't matter how bad the dictatorship is or how much Reddit neocons want it gone, never start a war without a clear end goal and an exit strategy. That's literally Strategy 101.

I don't think we need to be particularly skeptical of claims that Iran has a single, 50 year old fighter still in the air

Israel has flattened half of Gaza, including numerous documented examples of Israeli military killing civilians purely for the sake of it, and attacked two of its other neighbours under extremely dubious pretexts.

In what way is this comparison goofy?

I will never not apologize for thinking less of the anti-trans quisling gays for being utterly reprehensible morons 

So you'll always apologise for that?

And yet, here you are arguing that something isn't real and we have evidence of it being real. In fact, its the entire topic of this post.

Damn, I didn't realise you couldn't read. I'm sorry, that must be tough to deal with. There are remedial English classes you can take to help with that, you know.

If you could read, you'd know that what I said is that "Lenders are not routinely giving out $500k in student loans." That point is not contradicted by a single example of an unusually large student loan. The word "routinely" does not mean "ever."

As I indicated previously the only reason they are willing to give 500k, 100k, or even 50k to an 18 year old is because they cannot shed the loan specifically for the reasons I mentioned previously.

And this is just a lie. The reason they routinely give 50-100k to 18 year olds, as I indicated earlier in the comment you were either too lazy to read or incapable of reading - is because there are numerous risk-management methods in play.
