I'm sure Hitler used similar logic to justify gassing children.

    The lesson you seem to have taken from it is "it's different when I do it". The motto of every blood-soaked despot and every useful idiot who put him in power throughout history. > I can see that if your mother tongue doesn't use subject-verb-object word order (e.g. if it's German), it might be confusing. I'm sure you thought this was a witty repartee, but it's just dumb.

    > An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind. Hatred, violence and cruelty by an outgroup against your ancestors, or your ingroup, or your ingroup's ancestors, never justifies you own hatred, violence or cruelty towards that outgroup. The Nazis believed that the Jews had sincerely harmed them. That of course did not justify them. What made them "the Nazis" is not that they adopted that name for themselves. We know that "the Nazis" were the Nazis because they gassed the Jews, and because of everything else in their rhetoric and policies leading up to that point. In "a situation where the Jews gas the Nazis", the Jews would be the ones in the wrong. > I can see that if your mother tongue doesn't use subject-verb-object word order (e.g. if it's German), it might be confusing. Rhetoric like this is completely uncalled for.
