  • Thats…not what happened. Please look at how “Entnazifizierung” actually worked and also rethink if you’re actually antifascist or just deeply authoritarian if that’s your preferred solution.

    The whole point of fascism is that almost anyone could become one under the wrong circumstances.

    Creating a terror state won’t help you. You’re not erasing ideologies by erasing people, unless you want to lean completely into censorship and mass murder on a bigger scale. At that point, you’d have to fight leftists as well, since a lot wouldn’t want a state to hold the power to do all that.

    That’s quite different from Luigi killing a CEO or some random person punching a Nazi.


  • The pattern that makes us think things are cute (=young) is pretty universal among animals. It includes big eyes, big heads in relation to the rest of the body, small noses and a small mouth. We find things like cats super cute, because even adult cats are pretty close to that pattern, compared to f.e. adult humans.

    So I guess that an animal whose adult form is less close to this pattern than ours would probably think of us as especially cute?

    I personally think we’re pretty hideous though. Weird, hairless apes.



  • Who’s the people? Because an individual or a group of people killing someone is something different than a formal death penalty handed out by the state, of all things.

    I argue against giving the state (any state) and the courts power to decide who lives and who dies. Because ultimately, I don’t trust the people on top to make that choice. Beside individual examples of killings that you find justified, do you have any example for a country that uses the death penalty exactly the “right” way? Where no one innocent is killed, where there are no moral grey areas, no ways to just change some laws and misuse the whole concept to “eradicate the gays” or some shit? Because I don’t and I sure as hell wouldn’t look to the US for advice.

    I’m from Germany, yes. The Nazi problem wasn’t solved simply by killing the top, nor does it grow right now because we stopped killing in the 50s. There were a lot of fundamental changes to be done at the bottom, a lot of them only just starting in the late 60s, far after the death penalty. And even then, a lot of people went to prison, some 90-somethings only in recent years.







  • Dude, your theory is that the current rise of right wing populism in Germany is because we weren’t killing enough people? Fr, that’s your take?

    Who is in charge of doing the killing then? The death penalty isn’t french revolution style, you want right leaning states and judges around the globe to have the responsibility to decide who lives or dies? Thank you very much, I’ll pass.





  • If you have no dependents, no pre-existing debts to pay, are preferably young, live in a country with a good economy, got enough money or access to a decent social security program, then the internalized worldview might be the main problem.

    Not saying this doesn’t apply to quite a few people, but there are a lot of others who don’t have that luxury.


  • Let’s say we decide that morals what is right and wrong is decided entirely by ourselves. Then it makes perfect sense to defend your own opinions and to disagree with people who disagree with your stance on right and wrong. You chose those morals after all. It’s kinda part of the deal that they can’t apply to you alone (example: when is it just to kill?)

    So I don’t see a contradiction.

    I guess this post is about Inability to engage with a different set of morals. But assuming that their is an absolute truth for right and wrong wouldn’t solve that issue, so I’m not sure why they brought it up.
