No, they didn’t. We could talk all night about how some Germans would have insisted at the end of the war that they didn’t know shit about the death-camps or any killings for that matter. Would I have believed any? I doubt it. Would I have been so certain of knowing that they weren’t actually lying to me, that I could have taken it upon myself to serve justice on them? I don’t think so, no.

We don't need their word for it... they recorded everything they did. They initially did not intend on systemic genocide they ended up doing. That doesn't mean that didn't intend on not doing other atrocities. It's much like people don't intend on torturing and abusing prisoners after being sentenced, but they often look the other way when the guards do it.

Would you murder that baby Hitler? It’s easy to say “yes”

if one had the power to do so, one wouldn't need to murder anyone. simply changing the variables that led young Hitler down the road. Preventing his service in WW1 alone would had completely changed the course of history. Or giving him painting lessons so he wouldn't been kicked out of art school.

But thats not really the argument here... we're staring at 1932 Hitler.

Never said he should be murdered. Im strongly against the state having the power to kill anyone regardless of their crimes. However, he absolutely should have the book thrown at him for all his crimes, insurecctions, hate speech, election interference and whatever else that puts him behind bars for life.

Also, the nazis didnt start out with genocide. First there intention was to rid their problems by mass incarcerating their enemies. Sent them to labor camps for "reeducation". But between the lack of giving a shit about their enemies and lack of resources to keep people alive, those camps quickly turned to death camps.

Acknowledging people are assholes and making them accountable isnt talking down.

Young guys feel hated because for a first time, they are growing up in a society that is no longer tolerateing toxic masculinity and unfortunately many have not grow up with good male role models, so they tend to latch onto peices of shit that teach them to blame all their problems on others and not self relfecting.

Obviously there can only be one hitler.... noone is saying "litterally hitler" as being absolute as thats impossible. Its merely saying "this person is so unhinged and is aiming to be dictator and commit atrocities of unbelievable proportions"

Because your rhetoric really only works if you know for a fact that Trump is a literal Hitler. We all know him to be a literal autocrat though

Lets see here... he's constantly saying to mass deport all "illegal immigrants" and constantly demonizing them. Made statements about arresting all his poltical opponents, with miltary force if nessecary...

I dont know, i dont think the hitler guy every did any of those things...

East Tennessee had for long had quarrels with the rest of the state. The culture and economic differences caused great strife between the regions. But it had railroads vital to connect VA with the rest of the south without going around the mountains.

we dont need to worry about the climate anymore. We'd be lucky to survive the next decade.

I get it. Complacency allows the top to slowly chip away from the bottom. Im not saying to stand and take it. Make your voice heard.

But what im saying you cant expect not participating to improve your situation. You have to make small wins where you can. Without the support of large social movements, change will be slow and tedious and it may seem nothing changes for the better your entire life. But if you give up and stop putting up any resistance, you can be sure the top will topple the tower and you will have nothing left and will have to rebuild. And the chances of rebuilding to something grander is much more unlikely because you already surrender your only advantage.

Tell me which revolution that ended in a democractic socialist society and one that didnt involve millions of people suffering for years?

Look at the nordic countries. They didnt have revolution to acheive their socialism. It was democraticly elected. Is it perfect? Of course not, but its more than most countries have achieved.

No. Giving up voting is giving up a better future. The system is rigged. But the president is by designed limited in power. Change happens in the congress and local politics. The president merely holds the peices togather.

But congratulations, the short sightedness just handed the keys to the kingdom to a single man. The only check and balance trump has is the infighting within the Republican party and his own incompetence.
