Soviet sniper in the Red Army during World War II, credited with 309 kills. She is regarded as one of the top military snipers of all time.
One dead nazi isn’t harmless, as we’ve seen over the past few days. Gets all the other nazis riled up.
Gotta have a lot of dead nazis before they become harmless.
Of course, nothing wrong with a lot of dead nazis.
Donny! Got us a German here who wants to die for his country. Oblige him.
You can't leave a nazi alive it would be cruel to make them lonely make sure to kill them all so no one is lonely.
Kill one Nazi and people lose their minds....kill tens of thousands of Nazis and it becomes a statistic? 🤷♂️
Minor counter point.
Killing nazis still implies the existence of living nazis. I wouldn’t say there is “nothing wrong”.
The fact modern people can still grow up to be nazis remains a huge problem of our combined society, regardless if we apply a post-solution or not.
It is my sincerest hope that sometime in the future humanity will mature and outgrow fascist and other harmful ideas entirely.
Good counterpoint. Fascism needs defeating as a thought.
What about defeating it as a possibility instead? Eliminating thoughts is exactly what the fascists do. If instead we remove the possibility of huge corporations and billionaires conspiring with governments to abuse their population we can still teach it in school, still admit to and learn from history rather than eliminating the thought and thus deny the mistakes of the past.
I would like to get to the place where we can defeat money and the inequality it brings. I feel that would address most problems.
Damn this is good. First time in months do I see someone with eyes to see. Thank you for being here
In a tolerant society (I know, but it bears repeating) those that preach intolerance must be outside the protection of the law.
Seems like the Republicans have no problem with dead old folks, based on their COVID stance a few years ago, and also their vaccine stance. Wonder if there's a relation?
Or children, or women.
Of course Confederates dont care about US lives.
