      Arthur's whole point is that at a certain point everyone over the age of majority, at the very least, loses the pretense of "innocence". The whole idea that women aren't ALSO upholders of fascism or other violent regimes is ridiculous and misogynist, tbh.

      So every kid we burned alive at Dresden had it coming? What about Hiroshima? Did those kids deserve to watch their skins slough off after the A-bomb, I mean assuming they’d once waved a flag in a parade or something? Justifying the military murder of civilians is disgusting.

      No, which is why i said "over the age of majority". Do you understand what that means? (I certainly don't think the bombing of Hiroshima was acceptable. Dresden, i'm a lot more ambivalent about.)

      The big difference between Dresden and Hiroshima is that Imperial Japan's worst atrocities were carried out on foreign soil whereas Dachau was right in the heart of Germany, a suburb of Munich

      Oh yeah the postwar claims of German adult civilians that they had no idea the Holocaust was going on just up the road from them did ring pretty hollow, certainly. Does that justify burning them and their children alive?

      Dresden wasn't a judicial punishment, it was an act of war intended to disrupt the German war machine and break the morale of the populace in order to hasten surrender On those utilitarian grounds, it was justified

      Slaughtering Jews, in Hitler's view, was necessary to winning the war. I think that view was wrong for the same reason I think slaughtering German civilians was wrong. Civilians are not legitimate military targets in themselves.

      Buddy, you can debate about the humanity or effectiveness of firebombing industrial centers, you can argue if it's feasible to spare civilians when a nation is in state of total war but, they aimed at neutralizing German ability to continue the war, Hitler wanted extermination.

      Yeah unless someone argues that it would be a positive good to render a region Deutschenfrei for its own sake this is an absurd false equivalence, and a deeply odious one Dresden is not the fucking "German Holocaust" and saying it is verges on Holocaust denial

      That's a non sequitor. Acknowledging that one mass killing of civilians is bad does not mean I deny that a different mass killing of civilians occurred. That makes zero sense.

      The Holocaust was deliberate, systematic genocide, and the firebombing of Dresden was not How is this even in question

          This kinda reminds me of the weird legalistic way right-wingers think about acceptable sex practices. It's either YOUR SPOUSE or NOT YOUR SPOUSE. The whole idea of, like, consent, is completely unimportant to them. It's not part of their whole ontology.

          And this guy is harping in the same way about CIVILIANS vs SOLDIERS, as if there's any real meaningful distinction in a totalizing conflict (and past a certain point there really is not) and also as if no other facts are relevant.

          He’s trying to find a way to credit Hitler’s claims of a war with Judaism without saying the Holocaust was a conflict with sides, give him a few decades here

          I mean, under some circumstances it's reasonable and even vital to talk about intentions vs results (results are often way more important), but also, Dresden was a MILITARY TARGET that had civilians in it.

          Honestly, it sucks. I genuinely do believe that every single innocent death (which in the case of Dresden basically means "kids", everyone else was complicit) is a fucking tragedy that cries out for justice. But the world isn't simple. Or fair.
