I appreciate well written comments. ysjet’s response was detailed and well explained, and didn’t just say “of course nothing else would’ve stopped them”, but actually went in depth to explain why (which, of course, I don’t fully agree with, but I’m here to discuss and hear other people’s opinion).
Your original comment posited a challenge, ergo that the nukes that struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused more devastation than anything Imperial Japan could possibly be capable of. I responded with a hypothetical scenario I believe to be much worse than the given prompt, which does in fact have a real world counterpart in that fascism proliferated in North Korea as a result of Imperial Japan.
I don’t know what the problem here is. You seem to be incapable of comprehending nuanced discussion. I have no other explanation.
Of course you have not given this other user’s, nor my comments, fair appreciation. After reading your first response to it, your prior knowledge to staking out this moral position was dogshit, frankly. It’s inconceivable you still choose to not only defend your irrational position, but attack me for engaging in a discussion with you.
Nobody should have to write out an essay to make up for your ignorance on a topic that you’ve shotgunned a stance on.
I was not attacking you, I was trying to have a conversation. Yes, nazis spreading all over asia would be likely worse than two nukes over Japan, but in saying that, there is the underlying assumption that this spread was otherwise unstoppable, or in other words, that the Japanese were capable of perpetrating it, at the time (using the wording in my original comment) while in fact they were almost defeated already.
But maybe you disagree that they were effectively defeated, or maybe you had something else interesting to say other than “I don’t need to make assumptions” right after making an assumption.
Anyways, you choose to call me dogshit, and have the guts to talk about nuance when you yourself don’t seem to get it, so, I don’t even know why I’m still wasting time with you. I’ll just block you and move on. Au revoir.
Very well written comment that will no doubt be under appreciated lol
