    We need a time travel machine to go back in time and kill hitler!

    There are plenty of authoritarian people ruining the planet and committing genocide right now. Why not do something about it if you’re so gung ho?

      I don’t need a time machine to change the future. I need a space machine so I can appear next to the current Hitler so I can kill him.

      Because the present will judge me harshly for it. And I ended the future that would be the most grateful for my present actions! Don’t you understand?

      One theory could be that Fascists who idolize Hitler and the authoritarians take over when time travel is invented, so they don’t want to kill Hitler and that’s why he lived during our timeline.

      Dun dun duuuun.
