So the Allies were the same as the Axis Nazis?
The allies were defending people. Besides that, they did many immoral things, such as killing deserters of their own side. If you hurt Nazis out of spite when they are not posing a threat to yours or other's lives, then that is not justified.
"If you hurt Nazis out of spite when they are not posing a threat to yours or other's lives, then that is not justified."
Correct.
But nazis are, by definition, a threat to other's lives, so violence against them is always justified.
Read my other reply to a reply to my comment. But I'm worried if we set the 'threat to lives' bar too low, when they are not actually killing people, they can do the same, and kill you because you are a potential threat to their lives, or the lives of what they would think are genetically inferior children.
Whatever you decide, it has to go both ways, otherwise is it just a excuse for authoritarian enforcement of whatever your belief happens to be.
Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Your incapacity to believe them when they show you their ideals is a failure on your part.
A nazi isn't a race of people, it is a belief held by a person, and beliefs can be changed.
Good, let the threat of death be the motivator for Nazis to change their ideology.
A person convinced against their will is of the sake opinion still.
Nobody is convinced against their will, fucking moron. Go ahead say another bunch of stupid shit you don't even comprehend properly yourself.
So, let's see if i got this right:
when i say nazis deserve violence that's unacceptable and i deserve violence in response.
But when nazis say jews, LGBT+ people and other groups deserve violence it's not ok to wish violence upon them in response.
🤔 Curious.
No, did I ever threaten you with violence in response? You're straw manning my argument. Both positions where you want to kill any group of people are wrong, and I will try and stop them both in non violent ways - as now, when I am writing this for the benefit of lurkers that they possibly change their mind.
you can take the veil off whenever, nobody here believes you’re anything but a nazi
I don't really think that I'm going to convince anyone I'm arguing with right now, but I'm hoping that lurkers, and those who might see this in the future, see that not wanting to kill Nazis is actually a valid opinion that exists.
Yeah it’s a viable option for people who love Nazis
Yeah it’s a viable option for ~~people who love~~ Nazis
FTFY
You're not actually worried about that. You're trying to defend them because deep down inside, you agree with some of the things they say and think Nazism and fascism are legitimate political ideologies when they are not, and never have been.
Now you're just claiming stuff which you have no evidence for, and that I refute.
