    Was it necessary for people to shoot Nazis in WWII? Was it justified?

    Is it ok to say Nazis should eat shit?

    I think without knowing the context, maybe we shouldn’t just jump to conclusions. Sorry to jump to Godwin’s law here so quickly, but it’s kinda directly relevant.

    All I’m hearing is “kill Montana politicians.” Is that supposed to be the message?

    These are both in popular coms. It seems to me that Lemmy widely accepts messages like these, and it’s disingenuous to pretend like it’s not a popular sentiment. This is clearly a conversation we need to have.

      OP is saying the quiet part out loud. Responsible citizens keep such thoughts to themselves until they are organized to save their democracy and it becomes absolutely necessary to use violence to do so. The reason is: Violence should always be a last resort and bringing it up publicly all the time makes it seem extremist and scare some comrades.
