Consider that you might be in the wrong, then.

Silly me, I forgot that truth and well refined and argued morals require majorities. Wait a second, that means the Nazis were right after all, because they were the elected majority from 1933 and onwards. Turkey was also right when they committed the Armenian genocide. This changes everything! Talking to you is so enlightening! Not.

I elaborated on the dangers here.

As I said: Not in this thread.

Yes.

I'll file your vile morals under youthful ignorance. I wish you could hear what you say through my ears. I hope that you refine and revise your morals over time and, maybe, in ten years or so, look back at what you've written and cringe.

I did not say anything about majorities. I said consider the possibility that you are wrong, because clearly you don't spend enough time doing that.

Instead of actually rebuking anything, you just make up a random reason to ignore it and assure yourself it must be the case. Funnily enough though, ten years ago I would have agreed with you on this topic.
