minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI’d rather they not all be martyrs.
minus-squareBarneyPiccolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI’d rather a dead useless martyr, than an active live Nazi.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoThe thing about martyrs though is that they aren’t useless kinda by definition.
minus-squarebthest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-21 month agoSo was the Nazi leadership more dangerous as dead martyrs or were they more dangerous when they were living?
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoWell I disagree that the Nazi leadership became martyrs, for one, so I reject the premise of the question.
minus-squarebthest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI agree. And I don’t think any of these Republican Nazis will be martyrs either.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-21 month agoThat much was made clear from the downvotes. But I don’t think the two situations are equivalent. I’m not interested in continuing on a debate though so we can agree to disagree.

minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI think you are falsely hopeful if you think it would lead to anything good.
minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoIt would be cathartic for many of us, though.

No worries.
