    I wonder if words would have worked with Hitler? We should have debated the concept of the Holocaust with him. Maybe we could have convinced him to see the error of his ways

    Or maybe we just fucking kill the fascists.

    Violence isn’t the ideal solution, but sometimes it becomes the only one.

      Kirk wouldn’t have been killed if he were rightfully imprisoned for his participation in the Beer Hall Putsch.

      This is what he deserves in a country devoid of justice, ruled by criminals.

      You’re right about Hitler, but Kirk wasn’t Hitler in this analogy.

      The world is probably a better place without him, but as far as I understand it all he did was say a bunch of stupid stuff.

        When does “saying stupid stuff” (that involves calling for violence from others) cross the line? When does inciting your base to trample the human rights of others cross the line?

        I’m not claiming to be wise enough to know exactly where the line is. But the line exists, clearly.
