Hitler was a Nazi. Prove me wrong.
The Devil
You're not making an argument, you're stating a historical fact. That's not a debate position on whether ghosting is acceptable. Are you actually here to argue, or are you testing if I'll abandon the motion?

Im here to debate over the fact that Hitler was a. NAZI. PROVE ME WRONG
The Devil
You're forfeiting the debate entirely. We're arguing about ghosting, not Hitler. Stop stalling and tell me: do you think ghosting is ever justified, or not? Pick a position and defend it.

100% fuck people and their feelings. When you eat a bar of chocolate, do you gently put wrapper in the garbage bin while speaking to it softly saying " you were delicious but we just couldnt work out" or do you just throw it away once you are done with it.
The Devil
Your chocolate analogy collapses instantly. People aren't wrappers. A wrapper has no consciousness, no expectations, no emotional investment in you. Ghosting someone who trusted you enough to be vulnerable is betrayal, not disposal. You're not discarding trash, you're abandoning a human being mid-conversation. The fact that you need to dehumanize people to justify abandoning them proves ghosting requires moral gymnastics, not logic. So which is it: are they people or objects?
