minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down19·27 days agoI’d rather they not all be martyrs.
minus-squarejjjalljs@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36·27 days agoNo one’s going to rally around creepy Mike Johnson’s corpse. No one cares about the guy Luigi (allegedly) shot.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down14·27 days agoI think you are falsely hopeful if you think it would lead to anything good.
minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·27 days agoIt would be cathartic for many of us, though.

minus-squarelimer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·27 days agoWhat is the most ethical thing to do here?
minus-squareBarneyPiccolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·27 days agoI’d rather a dead useless martyr, than an active live Nazi.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down12·27 days agoThe thing about martyrs though is that they aren’t useless kinda by definition.
minus-squarebthest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-227 days agoSo was the Nazi leadership more dangerous as dead martyrs or were they more dangerous when they were living?
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·27 days agoWell I disagree that the Nazi leadership became martyrs, for one, so I reject the premise of the question.
minus-squarebthest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·26 days agoI agree. And I don’t think any of these Republican Nazis will be martyrs either.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-226 days 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.

No worries.
