yep, all the definitions of legitimate equivocate it to legal/lawful.
except here, y'all want it to mean not-lawful.
I'm legitimately not smart enough to continue this conversation.
- worik 6y agoDepends if morals matter. If right and wrong are important then "legitimate" encompass them. So it s possible for something to be legal but not legitimate. There are not a lot of legal but absolutely immoral (the other way, illegal but legitimate - plenty) the actions of the FANG IMO definitely fall into the category of legal but illegitimate. Because to me good and evil are important considerations
- anigbrowl 6y agoThat's just not true. Please don't make things up. Here are two (abridged) definitions from the Oxford dictionary: 1. conforming to the law or to rules 2. make legitimate; justify or make lawful. You're choosing to ignore the verb make in the second definition, describing the act of conferring legitimacy on something, which necessarily implies that it was previously lacking.

- drw85 6y agoThe second example literally says "make legitimate". You're trying too hard to be right. :D
