          I already made it. The Nazi Gun Control argument. Afghanistan is back to how it was before the U.S. invaded, thousands of deaths later, so if that’s an example of how the Nazi Gun Control argument is false, it’s a poor one.

                I take it you don’t want to engage the question because you realize the trap you’re in? That’s fine. Perhaps refrain from comparing people to Nazis in the future?

                  Considering you didn’t know that ‘Afghani culture’ wasn’t a thing, no, I didn’t answer your loaded question. But please do tell me about this so-called trap I’m in.

                    This is like those really embarrassing 2000’s era gotchas where someone would say some cringe shit like “you spelled X wrong and therefore I win this argument”. You said the following:

                    I already made it. The Nazi Gun Control argument. Afghanistan is back to how it was before the U.S. invaded, thousands of deaths later, so if that’s an example of how the Nazi Gun Control argument is false, it’s a poor one.

                    How exactly am I to interpret this if not you saying that Afghan culture has a problem, or that you are comparing them to Nazis? Do you believe that the culture the Americans brought with them was better? If so, can you share a few ways American culture is better than Afghan culture?
