We should force ourselves to treat other people like human beings with sincere disagreements or insincere disagreements, but still agreements that we can debate.

Because once you start calling people Nazis, we really have no choice but to start shooting them.

To be Dietrich Bonhoeffer and sort of reach the end of reason or even Christianity.

Bonhoeffer decided Christianity is not even, he was a Lutheran pastor.

Christianity is not enough.

We have to kill the guy.

I'm not judging Bonhoeffer, who was a great man in some ways, but that's inevitable once we decide that people are Nazis.

So you kind of have to wonder why they're doing this.

And of course, it's because when you call someone a Nazi, and maybe in Mark Levin's case he believes it,

you immediately freeze them in the headlights of your slur.

Nazi?

Nazi?

You deter people from arguing with you because no one wants to be called a Nazi.

But you also, for the bystanders who aren't even directly part of the debate, you draw their attention away from what the debate is actually about.

In other words, for every moment that we're arguing about who is and who is not a Nazi, answer really nobody.

The Nazis have been gone for 80 years, sorry.

But for every moment where they're having that debate, we're not debating the things we ought to be debating.

In this case, should we use military force on behalf of a small country, a totally irrelevant country?

That's a fair debate.

We're not having that debate.
