I think he clearly did do that.
> And this point you keep making about it only being a small % of the total water isn't very convincing.
I'm sorry you don't find arithmetic convincing, but there's not much I can do about that.
> I'm sure you would mind if I embezzled 1/2000th of Michigan's GDP.
Now you're wandering off into non sequitur.
No, it isn't.
He is arguing that the government of Michigan's laws are bad because the Nazis had bad laws.
There's dishonesty for you.
Yes, you’re being dishonest.
If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed.
He spelled it out in the post you’re aggressively misinterpreting and it’s decidedly not the fiction you’re peddling. So are you really losing track of what’s been said, in which case it’s time to step back, or are you being dishonest? You don’t seem like you’re losing track, so...
That argument is pure garbage.
Which simply isn’t true. He actually said outright:
If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed.
Now, you may think that’s garbage, but you’re not free to pretend that he said completely different things he didn’t actually say. Remember how you hate inaccuracy? Do you think that what you were doing before was accurate? How about playing semantic games now with the word “state,” is that accurate?
It isn’t, it’s evasive. So, what are you evading?
> Do you think that what you were doing before was accurate?
Pointing out that the government of Nazi Germany and the government of Michigan aren't the same in any meaningful way? Yes. That's accurate.
