    Sounds like you are describing a video game. The whole “if they say X it means X because those are the rules of the language.” I mean.

      Or… he said “there were no good guys”, so claiming that he’s saying Nazis were the good guys is really, really stupid.

      “I think all vegetables are disgusting.”
      “He’s saying celery is delicious, guys.”

      Dopes.

        On paper it sounds funny, doesn’t it? How can a guy randomly saying everyone was bad in WW2 mean he secretly thinks Nazis were alright?

        Easiest way to get at the logic is to dissect people who say “both sides are the same.” How can that mean they’re actually pro MAGA or whatever? Didn’t they just say that both sides are the same? That’s against the rules of English! But it makes sense if you dig deeper.
