In reply to this comment by Hominid:
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.
