    Sure. But we aren’t them. We do care. We have humanity.

    Let’s not sacrifice that and lower ourselves to their level.

      No. This is why democrats fail. They are not willing to do what needs to be done, to say what needs to be said, for fear of their farts not smelling like roses.

      Take your high road, write a letter, and slam the nazi’s in a clever tweet.

        There’s a difference between doing what needs to be done, and simply doing what they’re doing but against them.

        If you start using duhumanising rhetoric, and labelling them as less than human to justify violence against them, then it won’t be long before you start expanding your definition of who isn’t human. Just like they’re doing.

          What should have happened to nazi Germany, if not fight them with violence? The nazis invaded, remember. Do you not believe in self defense against an invading and occupying force? Nazis are invading your city right now, when will they be occupying your state next?

            We should have genocided all of Germany? We should have killed the POWs? Not rendered aid to enemy casualties?

            Generally the correct answer is, it’s complicated. If you’re arguing something is black and white you’re probably privileged enough to have never had to make one of these decisions yourself. Do I want ICE to exist? No. Do I want all conservatives to die? Also no. What’s more, people have all of 2 seconds to make these kinds of decisions and generally fall back on their training, which is to render aid first and figure out the rest later. Personally, I like that that’s what their instinct is, and I’m not going to give them shit for it

              You arent seeing me complain, but I am not putting down anyone for wanting to see different. It’s complicated, like you said. You cant afford to be afraid of violence right now, or if you are, be prepared to get out of the way

          If you don’t value Nazi lives you’re as bad as a Nazi killing innocent people for how they were born!!!111one
