Here at last is the might-makes-right philosophy in all it's insane
anti-human ignominy. "If you don't bow to my cult, we will kill you.
That's your choice. Take it or leave it."
I wouldn't expect a person with your egomania to understand that there
are some things worth dying for.

There are things that are worth risking my life for; there is nothing
worth dying for. Nathan Hale said it best when he said "I only regret
that I have but one life to LOSE for my country." Not one life to
GIVE.

One of the things NOT worth risking my life for is lying politicians.

And what exactly IS your objection to being compared with Hitler???
I object to your intellectual dishonesty.

It's a matter of opinion which of us is being dishonest here.

The issue is not whether or not I compare to Hitler. The issue is
whether or not I can do something about a man like Hitler.

I'm not comparing you with Hitler. I'm comparing you with the
millions of devoted state-worshipers who believed they had an
OBLIGATION to obey his laws just because he had the MIGHT to enforce
them. Hitler himself would have been a relatively harmless quack had
it not been for the bank tellers, store clerks, farmers, and other
otherwise good people giving him their blind obedience. Most EVIL is
committed by basically GOOD people, for one reason and one reason
only: because those people believe in "authority." It would be very
convenient to imagine that the many thousands of individuals who
carried out the mass exterminations under the regimes of Stalin, Mao,
Hitler, and so on, were all fundamentally evil and malicious. The
truth is, they were very much like most Americans are today: most of
the time, they do as they are told. Their primary sin is believing in
"authority."

There is no escape from the contradiction: if you BELIEVE politicians
have the RIGHT to make laws for you to obey, then you cannot believe
you have a right to disobey them. If you claim, "But I reserve the
right to make exceptions based on my own judgment," you are negating
your own belief in obeying the law. If you don't claim that, how
could you rebel against tyranny?
