Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

The worst maker mistake humanity has ever made was not killing every nazi after ww2.
I’ve gotten some nasty responses to that one lol
But I’m fucking right
Then comes the question who was a nazi? And who just feard them and not spoke up? Look at Russia or China, propaganda is also very much a problem, would you kill a 19 year old because he was in SS after all his life he was told thats a good thing?
I agree that Nazis are absolute garbage, but you can’t justify a genocide with a genocide, same with Japan after WW2 (and they did worse stuff)
Also, whats with the “Commies” from USSR? They where basically the same level of evil. (and yes the Holodomor was a genocide and not the only thing they did)
Well, killing all Nazis isn’t genocide, it’s just mass murder.
And it isn’t about a scale of how bad various regimes have been before or since.
And yes, that’s the entire thing. They should have killed every last SS, Gestapo, every brown shirt and soldier, no matter how young. The motivation of the victims of killing every nazi wouldn’t matter because the point is to eradicate every last one of them, and there’s no way to prove they didn’t believe in what they were doing other than their actions. There weren’t very many Schindlers that showed by their actions that they actively resisted from the inside. And if it took their deaths to achieve the goal, then it was a mistake to not do it then.
TBH, despite being against the death penalty for several reasons, I’m worried we might be faced with such a decision again in my lifetime because they didn’t do it then.
Obviously, eradicating the nazis wouldn’t prevent the kind of insanity and hatred that exists as part of the human mind. It would have changed the face of that hatred though, and it would have sent the message that some things will not be forgiven or forgotten. It would have meant less rallying points, less bullshit. And it would have set the precedent that if humans behave like that, they can be put down like a rabid animal to protect the rest of us.
Again, I’m aware of exactly how ugly this opinion is. I do not like looking at the world and thinking that there wasn’t enough death done back then. I do not like looking at the world now and wondering when it is going to happen again. But it’s an ugly fucking world, and they’re coming back. They’re coming back exactly the same way they did before because they were allowed to survive.
I think you are kinda insane, at the wars end most German soldiers where literally underage, there is no justice in killing them, not the smallest bit.
Unfortunately you can’t kill an idea. The West dabbled in white supremacy for most of modern history (see race based caste in America and South Africa, race based chattel slavery, phrenology etc) and still does to some degree so Nazism was inevitable in many ways.
Leopold Amery, the empire’s secretary of state for India appealed Churchill for aid as British engineered famines devestated Bengal (such famines killed 100 million people during the colonial era). The great hero of the West responded by calling Indians a beastly people, blaming them for “breeding like rabbits”, saying the diverted grain was better kept for “sturdy greeks” and wished death upon Gandhi.
Amery wrote in his diary: “Naturally I lost patience, and couldn’t help telling him that I didn’t see much difference between his outlook and Hitler’s, which annoyed him no little.”
If these are the people we venerate and we continue to teach incomplete histories, is killing every Nazi going to be enough?
It isn’t about killing the idea. It’s about making it known that some shit erases you as being allowed to exist.
That way, even when it does crop up, everyone knows exactly what will happen.
The only good nazi is a dead nazi.
