    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
