this is affirming the consequent. "liking bad things -> you are bad" might be true, but it does not imply "bad person liking thing -> thing is bad".

- heavyset_go 6y agoWeird, I didn't make a value judgment, I had only pointed out the biting irony of the situation at hand. Any assumption you've made from my post is just that: an assumption.
- leetcrew 6y agothe irony kinda depends on the value judgment though, at least under my reading. if the israelis invented a delicious new candy, would it be ironic that nazis would have enjoyed it? or slightly less ridiculous: the nazis would certainly have loved to have a rifle like the galil. is that ironic?
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoThe irony is that the Nazis are famous as sadistic torturers and deniers of human liberty and these days it is Israel which is famous in the world as one of these along with some other shameful nations (i.e. North Korea)
- fishmaster 6y ago> but it does not imply "bad person liking thing -> thing is bad". It does imply this if it's in the exact context of the Gestapo and Stasi and surveillance technology.
