    I like to break out this when people claim centrist/moderate is neutral. Nazi’s: kill all Jews and Aryans. Non-Nazi’s: don’t kill Jews or non-Aryans. Moderates: let’s compromise and just kill Jews instead guys.

    If 9 people sit at a table with 1 nazi and none leave or make the nazi leave, you have 10 Nazi’s sitting at a table.

    If you try to compromise between two moral/legal viewpoints, you’re still supporting the worst side

      Interesting turn of phrase. I’ve read “if not Nazis are sitting at a table and someone else sits down and they’re not a Nazi, you’ve got 10 Nazis sitting at a table”

      I like yours better. looks like it’s closer to the original German too.
