“This is a lighthouse. Your call.”

• tehwebguy 6y ago
  This is exactly the same wrong point again. A human with a badge is not similar to a lighthouse. It’s a person with agency, when they beat, shoot, strangle or arrest another person they make a choice. Lighthouses don’t.

    So you've made your call, so confident in feeling you're in the right. Nice knowing you, "admiral".

      I thought a bit about this argument here, and I just want to sum it up, so we can understand where this landed. The sum of the final argument is “I believe that you should do whatever the gunman says, so much so that I don’t care if they kill you”, directed at a commenter here.

        You need to think about it a little more. In the story, the admiral is conceited about his position so much so that he believes that he has the right not to understand the situation. Which is exactly why the commenter is in the stated position about the "righteousness" of their argument.
