          So what do you wanna do if there’s a bunch of fascists that want to execute everyone they don’t like? You let them?

            IIUC, execution is a punishment.

            While you might use force—even deadly force—to deal with certain lethal threats, you don’t punish somebody for what you think they might do.

            FWIW and on a related topic: wp:Killing baby Hitler.

              You’d probably have been friends with Neville Chamberlain. Im obviously not suggesting punishing THOUGHT CRIME, but when someone openly declares they want you dead, because of what YOU think, what do you think you should do? Sit down and have a nice long talk?

                “Sorry dude, I ain’t gonna die just to please you. You talk like a sicko. What’s the matter? You didn’t get breastfed? Did a Jewish black guy steal your girlfriend? Were you bullied by pretentious left-of-center liberals? Is your father a psycho who beat your mother to a pulp in front of you when you were a child, like Klara Hitler might have been? Is your mother still alive? Did your comrades and you drive your half-neice, the one a little over half your age, and the one you might have been having sex with to suicide or perhaps kill her? Maybe you should get some counseling before you do anything stupid, or even more stupid.”
