Where don’t you find a chair on a volcano world? Do you think an audience is going to watch people get thrown into volcanoes while sitting on the ground?

You said this:

So sure, you didn’t literally use the word stop. You just decided any history post-the third quarter of the eighteenth century was moot. My mistake.

Bold of you to think I would wear anything below the desk.

No, they really are picking the latter. They just responded to me. They think self-preservation is not the rational choice for someone to make.

Jumping in front of the trolley does not solve the trolley problem.

Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933.

He then won yet another election that same year.

Then you don’t know what ‘averting’ means. When you avert your eyes, do you look away and not look back again for an hour?

Oh, K and not C.

I’m an idiot.

They were day drunk all the time because one of the best ways to clean water was to make it into beer.

I need to take issue with this part because that is simply not how things worked. The ale that was being made at the time (and had been made and drunk by people for centuries before then) instead of water had an extremely low alcohol content. Even a small child would have to drink a LOT to get tipsy.

It was generally drunk the day after it was brewed, so it didn’t really have ages to ferment into a potent alcoholic drink. People did drink to get drunk, of course, but drinking small ale/small beer rather than water was not how they did it.

Stopping your historical studies before things like the end of chattel slavery and the start of the industrial revolution seems like a bad idea. You might have missed one or two significant events.

Ah, theoretical revolution. The most effective kind.

“If you voted for the only other viable option in the election, you’re responsible for Trump” is a very strange claim.

You went around telling people that about Obama and Biden too, right?

Hitler won his election too. And twice as well. I’m not sure why that makes it okay or Trump not a fascist.

“That was a question about my Adderall.”

The last important one was in 1980.

I think millions of people are about to find that the last important one was a month ago now. Especially all the ones that are about to be put in concentration camps and the ones who care about those that are about to be put in concentration camps.

Noble?

Why are you making this about what’s noble?

And are you really suggesting that, if given the choice between their own survival and the survival of people on the other side of the planet, rational voters should pick the latter?

Prepare yourself for a shock- the Nazis called themselves socialists and the North Koreans call their country a democratic republic.

Sometimes some people use words properly and sometimes other groups of people use those words improperly for propaganda reasons.

But I’m sure that can’t possibly be the case here. It’s not like you can legitimately call an incoming administration literally working out the details in putting up concentration camps right now fascist. Not one where the incumbent president is literally promising to be a dictator.

I just don’t see the fascism connection there, do you?

You do know ‘averted’ doesn’t mean ‘avoided happening forever until the sun engulfs the Earth’ right?
