this is careless reasoning; rather than equating a so-called 'data protection law' with the holocaust, i said the justification others were using for that law was incorrect, because if it were correct, it would also justify the holocaust

this is not an extremely advanced form of logic, but i understand that it is not within everyone's grasp

octavia's other, rather astounding comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37149528 is probably also useful context

my objection to the war rhetoric in this case is that it casts people as opponents who are not, in fact, opponents, just different parties pursuing largely independent interests. in that context playing 'let's you and him fight' seems unlikely to improve the situation
