Just because someone disagrees with your point of view, or inquires about something that you stated in your answer, doesn't mean that they don't understand the nature of hypothetical questions. It's called a discussion. It's why we're here.

But the point is that you're essentially strawmanning the hypothetical concept of genocide on Nazi Earth/Earth 3 by equating it with genocide on Real Earth/Earth 1.

Not really. I think you're assuming that I am because of what I said to OccultHawk, but I also posted an assessment that I think was pretty fair after you clarified the scenario. As I said before, even if one group was objectively "better" than the others, I still wouldn't trust them with that kind of power, for the reasons I stated earlier. And even if the "superior" group was above corruption and abuse of power, and even if opposing the cleanse resulted in the continuation of a chaotic and imperfect world filled with violent and unintelligent people, it's still the choice that I would make, foolish as it may be. Perhaps I prefer an inferior and chaotic world. That's a valid preference, and a valid answer, isn't it?

Although maybe I'm being too idealistic, and am making it more of a matter of "perfection versus imperfection", when the real question is simply "Would you do something awful, if everyone benefitted as a result?" And in the case of the latter, though I like to think that I'd stick to my guns and find a peaceful solution, despite all my bluster realistically I'd probably simply end failing miserably, eventually giving up and going along with the tide
