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.
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.
