All compassionate governments are tyrannical governments.
All compassionate governments are oxymorons.
Therefore all tyrannical governments are oxymorons.
FALSE

The above syllogism fails because you never make a statement about ALL tyrannical governments in the set-up.

Don't call people out on logic if you're not using it properly. Also, don't troll. You can correct people without calling them idiots (see, see I'm doing it right now.)


If the statements are interpreted as inferences, then you are correct.
Given A -> B and A -> C, C does not imply B.

If the second statement is an equality, which is how I interpreted it, then I am correct.
Given A -> B and A = C, then C -> B.

And I regress. The idiot comment was out of line. It was intended to qualify the argument, not flame. But that obviously failed.

Not a fan of that death, he wasn't talking in all caps. I also can't see Discworld's Death saying "bugger off" or "I could murder a good curry." He'd be too dispassionate and refined.

Go and read the death trilogy, he says almost exactly those things.
