"The right/wrong side of history" is such a non-argument it drives me up the wall. "Hypothetical people at an untold point in the future agree with me" bro nobody cares. "I've drawn myself as the chad and you as the soyjak"-ass debate tactic. The nazis were going to be hailed as the brave founders of a thousand-year empire. The doctors championing lobotomies in the '40s and '50s proclaimed with their whole chest that they were on the revolutionary cutting edge of mental health treatment. It's a might-makes-right argument with commitment issues that hinges entirely on your side eventually accumulating enough victories to write the textbooks. Defend your premise on its own merits or die.
#''that's a nice argument but unfortunately my hypothetical robot snake demon has killed all of your supporters from the future#leaving only people who support MY side of history! MWAHAHAHA!!''
