Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I was not attacking you, I was trying to have a conversation. Yes, nazis spreading all over asia would be likely worse than two nukes over Japan, but in saying that, there is the underlying assumption that this spread was otherwise unstoppable, or in other words, that the Japanese were capable of perpetrating it, at the time (using the wording in my original comment) while in fact they were almost defeated already.

But maybe you disagree that they were effectively defeated, or maybe you had something else interesting to say other than "I don't need to make assumptions" right after making an assumption.

Anyways, you choose to call me dogshit, and have the guts to talk about nuance when you yourself don't seem to get it, so, I don't even know why I'm still wasting time with you. I'll just block you and move on. Au revoir.
