    That is a complete false equivalence.

    The rethoric you employed can be easily used to uphold the cause you are very poorly trying to denounce.

    We are not lions. Unlike lions, we can, to a degree, foresee the outcome of our choices and actions. That comes with the notion that every choice has a consequence.

    The times we are currently enduring are the consequence of passively allowing ideas that were actively destroyed, by force, in our recent past, to gain traction again.

    The millions of lives lost in war will be wasted, both of victims and soldiers, if we allow ourselves to fall into that path again, something which is looming, but to engage in the same rethoric and acts we should be denoucing will make worst than those we are fighting.

    If things come to such point, were we will be forced to pick up arms to kill each other, we must not do it with ease of mind. We are not butchers, we are not murderers, we are not indifferent to suffering and misery. We must fight because we have no other option left.

      The times we’re enduring are a consequence of forgetting that killing Nazis is the best thing the western world ever did. We’ve become a culture that abhors violence and tolerates intolerance. And that’s not an accident, it’s a propaganda campaign. The government wants us to be passive and toothless. So it tells us that the only legitimate use of violence is the state. It tells us to follow the law and trust in the system.

      The system is broken! The time to fight is now!

        We are the system.

        We fought a regime. We toppled a dictatorship. We used force to do that, not violence, which was what they did.

        We, our grandfathers and grandmothers, ended a criminal regime
