They were not defending anyone’s lives. They were not there to defend lives. They were there to kill Nazis. That they were able to save lives while doing it is good, but that wasn’t the plan. They didn’t say “well we could attack the Wehrmacht, but instead maybe we’ll stop them from running their tanks through that town with a blockade.” They just bombed the shit out of them.

If their goal was not to protect people but to kill nazis, maybe they were doing something wrong. Anyway, it’s different in wartime. We are not in wartime, and modern day people who believe in Nazism are not killing people, so no violent means to convert them will be more effective. Anyway, you’re not even killing them, but expressing your desire to kill them, which if they saw it, all that would happen is you would antagonise them, and make non violent methods less productive, as they would scream ‘Radical Liberals wanttto kill us for our beliefs’ and develop a (rightful) persecution complex, ignoring that they are persecuting other people, or would, if they could.

But they won’t see this, as you posted this in a far left echo chamber, and they are stuck in their own far right echo chamber. All these sorts of comments (‘all nazis should be killed’) do is drive people apart and make them less susceptible to argument.

Are you seriously saying prioritizing stopping a genocidal maniac from destroying the world is wrong? Seriously?

Not for lack of trying. Or have you not noticed all the mass shootings? They need to be stopped before it gets worse.

Now you’re saying they are defending people, which I would advocate.
