Please don't try to sneak in a justification for genocide and paint it as a necessary evil.
> I was offering a different view
Your "different view" came with the unwritten implication that the actions of a terrible government justify genocide:
>>> Japan was an extremely bad actor. They had death camps just like the Germans did at that time. One can imagine that the German victims wished someone dropped a few nukes so Germany would back off a bit quicker.
This sentence does not mention a specific military strategy.
You are clearly implying that a being an "extremely bad actor" is enough to justify retaliation against unarmed civilians.
> we owe it to every victim ... to understand the situation properly

- krageon 7y agoI'm not sure what to tell you, except to try to emphasise to you that understanding what other people think (or arguing for the things they might think as a rhetorical device) doesn't "imply" that that is what is right. I don't presume to tell other people that they are flat wrong and they need to think something else and I would appreciate it if you could extend me the same courtesy.
