We did this with all sorts of fucking Nazis. We were far too kind and should have hung a fuck of a lot more of them.

Same thing goes for the fucking slavers after their failed rebellion.

Killing like that is an emotional response. We should strive to be better than that, and them

No, it is a response to make the world a better place. By allowing slaver officers to live, despite what our laws said, we allowed them to spin the lost cause narrative and take away all the hard won rights that freedmen achieved. We still suffer as a society from that horrible oversight. Think about how things would be different if black people had political and economic rights for the past 150 years.

The same can be said about allowing nazi and Japanese war criminals to live. In many instances, they also took back power and continued to do damage to our world.

They should have all died like Mussolini.

When does the murder stop? The politicians? The general? Officers? Soldiers? Soldiers families? No, purges are not how you start a better world. That's tankie shit. Fuck off.

I’d say the officers and politicians. Nazi officers and politicians are bad people. Slaver officers and politicians are evil people. Those power structures needed to be destroyed and the alive people propagated evil systems. You are the one doing the whole slippery slope bullshit.

Without the officer class of the confederates we wouldn’t have had the KKK or Jim Crow. The lands that the enslaved folk worked should have been given to the people who worked the lands.

Would you like to have a guillotine as birthday present?

Germany never underwent denazification

Killing Nazis and slavers is justice. The fact that Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis outlived Lincoln is a travesty.

Or we could try to be more civilized.

It's easy for someone who isn't a victim of a capital or war crime to say, that the death penalty should be ostracized.

That makes my respect for Robert Badinter even greater:

His father was captured in the 1943 Rue Sainte-Catherine Roundup and deported with other Jews to the Sobibor extermination camp, where he was murdered shortly thereafter.
...
Robert Badinter (French pronunciation: [ʁɔbɛʁ badɛ̃tɛʁ]; 30 March 1928 – 9 February 2024) was a French lawyer, politician, and author who enacted the abolition of the death penalty in France in 1981.

I know this is a polarising topic. So I don't expect you to agree with me on this. The other way around... same. So let's just look at it as exchange of point of views. You show me your heroes, I show you mine.
