stupid

"Even the most superficial observation shows that Nature's restricted form of propagation and increase is an almost rigid basic law of all the innumerable forms of expression of her vital urge. Every animal mates only with a member of the same species. The titmouse seeks the titmouse, the finch the finch, the stork the stork, the field mouse the field mouse, the dormouse the dormouse, the wolf the she-wolf, etc."


This is an excerpt from Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler



Hitler is using a false analogy in his statement here. A false analogy is when an analogy is descriptive, but doesn't offer proof of a connection between the 2 things being compared. He is comparing humans to animals and saying we should act as they do when it comes to sex and our way of life. He wants to find something to compare our way of life to and he chooses animals which is completely idiotic.
Obviously, Hitler is an idiot and has stupid ideas, so i just went into even greater depth on how big of a jackass he really was.
