American exceptionalism strikes again!
Most exceptional place in the world, so exceptional that nothing can be done to solve issues that have been solved elsewhere, and if you don't think so it's because you don't understand how exceptional it is!

It was only appropriate. They most likely were left with no other choice.
Therefore, on the individual level there are in fact times when violence is the answer, even if that's just because it is the only answer remaining.
Do the Nazis ever claim they are intolerant of minorities because the minorities were intolerant to them?
Group A: "I am intolerant of (group) because they need to go back to their own country and not live in mine."
Group B: "I am intolerant of (group) because they don't tolerate other ethnicities."
This guy: "but who was intolerant first?"
Nice try FBI
Sorry but there is an assumption implicit in your argument that tyrants like Hitler are somehow not human and are exceptional and not really a part of humanity
Never claimed or implied that. So don't really have anything to respond to here as this is all entirely unrelated to what I was saying.
Exactly. If we keep doing it, clearly it is not the answer but rather a postponement
Clearly the answer to hunger is not eating. The answer to being tired is not sleeping. The answer to making a mistake is not apologizing...
It's not whataboutism, it's a legitimate point. I agree that Hitler was the problem and at fault, but that doesn't change the fact that for the rest of the world the 'right' answer to the Hitler problem was in fact violence.

Flip it in '26 and we'll talk.
Has any country ever voted its way out of fascism?
The current as well as the past several elections have resulted in minority governments: The party with the most seats does not have enough votes on their own to pass legislation. They need a 3rd party to vote with them in order to get anything passed. The NDP has also been the official opposition in the past.
