Edit: a ~~bystander~~ Trump supporter was killed

FTFY. They were attending a Trump rally. They weren't just a bystander. They were complicit.

You are truly the epitome of an evil person. God help us if someone like you ever gains any real political power

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump has frequently called for the violent death of his enemies. Everyone at that rally supported this position.

I don't feel bad at all for the thing they want to happen to others happening to them.

So, for all your haunted ideals, at the end of the day, you are no better than him. You are a narcissistic person that gets a perverse pleasure from the suffering of your perceived political enemies

Would you kill Hitler, or throw aside your gun for the sake of "civility?"

Would killing Hitler make you "no better than Hitler?"

No, it means the next guy to commit atrocities will have a different last name. Your cartoonish views on morality is tiring

Gotcha, you would in fact let Hitler be.

[–] supertrucker@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well, what if the guy that took Hitlers place was every bit as evil, but wasn't a bumbling idiot in military matters? Worse yet, what if he gave his scientist budgets and told them to make super weapons with no real interference? The first atomic bomb could have dropped on Bristol or Leningrad, instead of Hiroshima

It would take time for someone to take his place, which gives resistance time. It is a good thing to fight fascism.

[–] supertrucker@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

There was plenty of resistance to the Nazis rise to power, until the Nazis consolidated power and suppressed it. Any authoritarian leader in 1930s Germany would have done the same thing. Remember, if you're taking out Hitler before 1931, all the factors that allowed him to rise to power are still there, like the great depression and the treaty of Versailles. Anyone becoming a dictator during that time would have done so likely by some variation of Hilters playback with much the same results

I've been called worse by better people.

You don't have to convince me. I believe you
