    In the early 90s, my grandfather assured me that he fought and killed nazis, so that my generation would never have to deal with them.

    He didn’t say he cancelled the nazis. The word he used was “Exterminated”.

    Maybe we should all do that again. Exterminate the nazis. Because quite frankly, this government is lousey with them.

      Nazis weren’t exterminated, the US government hired quite a few (and that’s not counting the ones who went on vacation to Brazil in 1945)

      Maybe we should do it right this time.

        The biggest sin of the American government was failing to hang every single confederate sympathizer. The problems only cascade from there.

      Well, you can’t “exterminate” a movement, idea, or people. You can only make it boring or not worthy of attention

        We should just never stop shaming for it. Someone wearing a swastika on the bus should be booed until their stop. It could bring the rest of us together, even.

        That said, I think it might all be a distraction from society’s real enemies: the oligarchs.
