Not really “powertripping”. Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org… I’ve unsubbed and blocked the instance.
We can’t dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!
Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930’s “tolerating” fascism, and the Nazi’s killed over 100 million people. Don’t make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.
Your first sentence is simply incorrect. Nazis chose their lot. They weren’t born into it. Why are their lives Inviolate despite their expressed Desire to see others killed? They’re not Try again
Well, if you don’t believe in universal human rights, then your moral standing against Nazis is very shallow.
Vasily Zietsev didn’t stop the Nazis with moral standing.
There’s a difference of fighting back including killing to defeat an enemy or denying someone the basic right to life.
The first means you fight back until you defeat the enemy, the second one means after you defeat them you round them up and put them in camps to exterminate them.
It also means it limits your actions to those targets who actually hold power and not just anyone who has a Trump / Vance flag in their garden.
That was a war. He also didn’t check if German soldiers were party members or not.
What do you think the new Nazis are planning? A tea party?
Once a war has started, killing is morally acceptable, not before. Even then, only if it’s necessary to achieve military objectives. You don’t kill people for their ideological beliefs, but to stop their ability to act and remove them from power. Mass murder can never be the goal for anyone who believes in human rights.
Wars aren’t won by killing soldiers. They are won by stopping the enemy‘s ability to act. An army can’t fight without fuel, food, and ammunition.
That is a very strange and self-contradicting hill to die on.
That follows very clearly from the declaration of human rights and international humanitarian law. It’s not contradictory at all.
Firstly, citation? because as i understand it “killing is morally acceptable in war” isn’t in the universal declaration of human rights.
Secondly, even if it was, there is no magic attribute of those declarations that makes them immune to contradiction.
If you believe in universal human rights either all of humanity or none of humanity should be imprisoned or persecution by the state. Thinking murderers should be punished means you don’t believe in human rights.
WTF are you even on about? If someone violates the rights of others, punishment is of course acceptable. Self defense or defending others is also acceptable. Rights are not absolute. They are for everyone.
I swear this place is filled with teenage tankies.
I thought you said beliefs and actions shouldn’t matter. That’s the only reason “universal human rights” have to apply to fascists as equally as the rest of humanity.
Dude are you a fucking dumbass?
