    If we acted the same way it would reinforce their agenda. My comment blew up.

    Update/Edit: if you think killing people is the answer to solving the world’s problems then you are a fucking premtitive shitty human being and are a part of the problem.

      Yeah hence why when the Nazis invaded Europe we never invaded them back, because that would have just reinforced the Nazi agenda.

        Not sure if you are aware but the Nazi agenda is still around.

        One could make the argument war didn’t get rid of them and had just reinforced their way of thinking even moreso for the ones who still supported nazism.

          One could also make the argument that the best way to deal with hitler was to send him chocolates and ask him to leave France very nicely. Doesn’t mean its a good argument.

      History has shown time and time again that pacifism cannot defeat conservatism. Conservatives see pacifism as an invitation to attack.

      They do no rely on our actions to advance their agenda of hate. Conservatives will advance their agenda of hate with or without our input. They can only be stopped by force.

      It seems unlikely that this would have any political effect, let alone a negative one. Perpetual gun violence is an unremarkable feature of life in the United States.

      All the downvotes you’re getting on this one… YIKES I don’t think this is a very good community.
