    Sorry if I’m not the kindest to a person that is defending nazis.

    Also you’re framing my point as being only critical of soldiers and not the administrations that use them, which is just incorrect and a poor read of my comments. Truly insane what you’re trying to minimize right now.

      there’s a difference between defending nazis and understanding how the nazi takeover worked. the banality of evil is what underlies the entire system of violence we exist in. the more people are raised not to see the evil the more they will stand idly by or go along to get along because their mind is absent of any morality. if we want to combat the nazis we need to know what strategies work to resist the colonial mindset that underpins fascism. being scolds of people locked into the propaganda doesn’t work. producing propaganda to counteract it does. and when that fails, you pick up the gun. attacking people who explain the propaganda mechanisms is not picking up the gun. it’s maintaining the divisive mechanisms that benefit the right.

      in other words.

      don’t be a virtue signaling shit lib.

        You would be the one virtue signaling, with your enlightened coddling of murderers, not me.

        My desire to treat soldiers like dog shit and pray they get PTSD is not “virtuous”, it’s rather crass and upsetting for many people. I do it for the love of the game though.

        Typical lib.
