Patriot isn't someone blindly rooting for the government, I would say. Also I wish we didn't have so many shitty governments to remind us about that

Point 4 may be wishful thinking
To be fair, I'm using Linux, MacOS with Darwin Nix for managing it, Windows, and I still am not sure what exactly is an operating system, what's the role of kernel and all of the possible system software is. Well, I think kernel is for hardware abstraction, but other than that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're right, I mixed up sophistry and fallacy. Better check next time
see them as tactical conversational attacks
Well, fallacies originally were not meant to fool yourself, but to win argument by any means. So you are describing a fallacy, even if it's not called that
Only third party sync, I use Syncthing for that, works great most of the time
Well then they will have to slightly extend the term (until death do them part)
Also you missed their very subtle joke.
If it was a joke, it went way overboard
The article you linked (twice) has this text (highlight is mine):
The term also may be used to refer to the previous status of the Swan Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands when it existed
And a bit further in the Former Insular Areas it lists:
Puerto Rico: military government, 1899–1900; insular government, 1900–1952; became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952
It contradicts what you're saying about Puerto Rico still being an Insular Area
a separate country of US citizens.
How's that supposed to work?
By the way, how does it? I didn't hear any news for quite some time already 🤔
but I would guess
that it does work out too well, even if maybe sometime in the future the ones who survived will live better, maybe
Problem is it took Roman empire hundreds of years of decline, the world now sure is faster but it can still take a lot of time for contemporary empires to fall
