I’m glad your conscious is clear. I hope losing our democracy was worth it.

Not much of a democracy if "not doing a holocaust" wasn't an option. Doesn't seem like a big loss.

Again, your entitlement is showing. But don’t let that get in the way of an agenda.

You’re not the good guy you think you are.

My entitlement? I'm not the one saying genocide is ok so long as I'm comfortable.

And lol at "an agenda" as if being opposed to genocide is a bad thing

And I’m not the one misquoting people in order to manufacture an argument.

This is why it’s advised to never argue with children. Even when you win, you still lose.

No, you're just straight up lying. And I didn't misquote anyone.

Sorry, I didn't realise you were a child

The cringe is unbearable, so I’m going to walk away from this now. I never knew empathetic embarrassment via written word to be a thing before today.

Enjoy the last word, and be sure to bait the line with your best stuff. I’d like to see how easily I can resist.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

-Jean-Paul Sartre
