The status quo hasn't actually put me in a death camp and gassed me, so it seems to me that if you are to assume all forms of the status quo, and all preservation of the status quo, is inevitably equivalent to Auschwitz, that you have some explaining to do.
- lowtolerance 6y agoThis is how you know you have a really weak justification for your beliefs, when you argue against things that have never been said in order to tell yourself yourself that you hold the moral upper hand in an argument. I never insinuated anything like the argument you are countering. Experience has taught me that people who enter into an argument with disingenuous red herrings such as this one are not interested in a good faith discussion, but I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. My argument isn’t that gassing Jews and conservatism are inherently the same thing, that’s a completely preposterous interpretation of my previous comment. My argument is that fear of losing status is at the core of all of these ideologies, and nowhere is that more explicit than conservatism.
