    Them: “so what should they have done?”

    You: “Well I’ll tell you what they shouldn’t have done!”

    So, in short, you can’t actually answer the question.

      Haha, what a crazy way of thinking.

      “Don’t eat your own shit!”

      “Well, what should I do instead of eating my own shit?! 😕”

        Damn, that’s a lot of words to still not be able to answer the question

          Their instance hints it’s rather a defence mechanism against the moral ramifications of making a deal with Nazis. It’s not an unfamiliar thing to me, I’ve seen it a lot

                Sorry, I’ll try to put it more clear for you: You write like a teenager who thinks overwriting lazy insults with lots of purple prose that you picked up from Japanese children’s cartoons makes them something more than just lazy insults.

                  I’m not a native speaker, I’m just writing how we’ve been taught to write in school. If that comes off as “purple prose” or anime, then not sure what to tell you. Miyazaki wasn’t a big part of our school curriculum.
