    Since you brought Hitler into this… Clearly it’s never okay with Hitler. Terribly evil person. If you agree with Hitler on literally anything, you are complicit in the Holocaust.

    Hitler loved dogs. Huge fan of them. He had three (well, one and Eva Braun had two). He let his dog sleep in the bed with him. Took it with him everywhere. He was a huge dog lover. Big fan.

    Am I required to hate dogs because, by saying dogs are good, I’m agreeing with Hitler? It’s clearly a terribly evil thing to agree with Hitler, right? So I think the only possible moral stance is to hate dogs with every fiber of your being? Isn’t that right?

    That’s what your position feels like.

        I mean, yes, it’s the most extreme version of your position highlighting how ridiculous it is. The hope was that it would highlight to you how silly your reasoning was. If your ideology is predicated on doing the opposite of someone you hate, it requires you to take absolutely nonsensical positions.

        But engaging with that requires self reflection, and that’s hard.

        But I’m game to call it here as well, if you like. Thanks for the debate. I’ve had fun. :)

          Bottom line: The Sociopathic Oligarchs think pennies are important enough to take them away from us. If they want them so badly, I want mine, too. Those guys shouldn’t get anything that the rest of us don’t get, too.

          Have a great week!
