Alright, well, I'm of the opinion that NO history would have justified the heinous acts of the Nazis. This is something I feel VERY strongly about. It is FUCKED UP that you think there's a universe where the Nazis are justified.

You still keep talking about "the heinous acts of the Nazis" without being willing to actually name what those are. Because you think that evil is facially neutral and that history is meaningless.

There, I named the acts. The genocide apologia in this thread is unreal.

Where tf do you see genocide apologia? I see people saying “Nazis were bad because they killed Jewish and Roma and Disabled and LGBTQ+ people.” And you keep trying to argue “No, Nazis were bad because they killed people.” Which makes YOU the genocide apologist.

Arthur Chu said Nazi acts would have been "obviously" justified if the history was different.

Mass murder of defenseless people is wrong regardless of whether they are Jewish or Roma or Disabled or LGBTQ or whatever. I can't believe I have to spell this out.

John Brown led an armed team to break into a guy's house in the middle of the night while he was asleep, dragged him and his sons into the woods while tied up, then hacked them to death with machetes He is a goddamn hero, one of my personal idols

This was a completely politically motivated killing and an act of political terrorism James P. Doyle was not a slaveowner, but he was a slavery *supporter*, and intended to vote in favor of legalizing slavery in Kansas It was "direct voter suppression"

Brown specifically killed the members of the household who were of voting age and who were members of a pro-slavery political party The goal was to intimidate pro-slavery settlers into giving up the cause and to inspire copycat killings, mass insurrection

He is basically Scott's worst nightmare Eliezer's "Bad ideas get debate, never bullets" aphorism Scott's "Be nice until you can coordinate meanness" (ie the state should have a monopoly on force) Fuck that When people politically support slavery you kill them until they stop

John Brown made himself into a "Scissor Statement" "John Brown is a hero" vs "John Brown is a monster" tore the country apart, turned their "social media" (pamphlets and newspapers) into a cesspool of hostility, turned brother against brother, all the good stuff
