    he thought the nazi’s were the good guys

    Quote him: “There were no ‘good guys’ in that war.”

    It isn’t enough to criticize him for not considering the Allies the good guys, but you just have to go that one step further and claim that he believes something that is directly contradicted by what he wrote?

    It’s like people are afraid of encountering someone who is less than 100% wrong/bad/evil, and refuse to believe there is anyone between ‘saint’ and ‘demon’. Must be exhausting living with such a starkly binary outlook.

      Sounds like you are describing a video game. The whole “if they say X it means X because those are the rules of the language.” I mean.
