Copied from a comment I just made elsewhere, but that applies here too:
As an end goal? I don’t want anyone’s lives to be destroyed. I do want to prevent harm happening to people, and if people are harmful to society they should be rehabilitated, or if not possible, isolated from society to prevent further harm. However, I don’t want anyone to be punished or have their life destroyed just for revenge, or because it seems ‘just’. That would just cause further unnecessary harm.
Notch was (maybe still is?) an ill person, someone dealing with a lot of demons that just wanted to make little java games and turned insta-famous and insta-rich, and that seemed too much to handle.
Like the Harry Potter lady or the Father Ted guy, they couldn’t handle their new lives and went bananas.
Nazis are just broken people that want to hurt others to numb their own pain. (Not that I’m justifying their shitiness).
Then again, in Behind The Bastards, often there’s a guy who has a plain happy childhood and becomes a monster, so WDIK.
Dehumanization is what Nazis do. Don’t gaze into the abyss so long that you start thinking like them.
I think it is essential to remind ourselves that Nazis are people, that Naziism is an evil that mankind is capable of. In order to effectively fight Nazis, we must pay attention to how real people get suckered in by Nazi propaganda. The second you start othering them is the second you lose the fight because you willfully stopped paying attention.
notch is so based
Notch is also a nazi, so I don’t think he’s worth listening to
notch is a fucking nazi and ought to be strung up like one too.

nazis aren’t people
yeah, you are. not only is it ableism, it’s nazi apologia, and bullshit to boot.
To claim Nazis aren’t people isn’t just to dehumanize your enemy, but it is also to deny your own capacity for great evil.

I don’t think you understand the point I’m making here.
Nazis are people. awful people, sure, but the capacity for evil is a uniquely human trait
I think you meant to say Hatsune Miku
