Or more likely, Hitler would have exterminated millions more, and civilization would have crumbled under fascist ideology.
Why don't you chop off your arm? You don't know if that will turn out to be good. Stories like that of the Chinese farmer and Pippi Longstocking are for children, not for thinking adults to blindly believe. The point of the Chinese farmer for children is that even though bad things happen, things can get better, which helps them get over it. To make it go down easier, they show that even though good things happen, things can get worse.

- lern_too_spel 3y agoDo you really think Hitler's additional extermination would be limited to Russia had he completed his world conquest? I assert that if you don't understand the "why don't you" question, you don't fundamentally understand the fable. Why don't you tell me why it doesn't apply?
