"We have to appease the Nazis or else they'll be even meaner!"

  Nazis were regular people too (not all obviously), and blindness to this makes you vulnerable to those same evils. Dehumanize at your own risk, you might think it's justified but we're all humans, and in a way it is like doing it to yourself.

    "The Jews who did kill Nazis were just as bad as the Nazis!" Who cares if they were regular people? Every single atrocity in history, both big and small, was committed by "regular" people. We hold people accountable for their actions, or we have no social contract.

      That sounds like guilty until proven innocent. Someone holding beliefs shouldn't be a crime, it's acting on them. Anyway it sounds like we'll disagree, I'll continue thinking about it.

        This isn't the court of law. I don't have to do business with fascists if I don't want to. I encourage everyone here to shun fascists just as hard, and to shun people who willingly do business with them. I like living in a free, pluralistic society that preserves human rights, and I fully accept that in order to keep that society alive, I need to do my part to stop its enemies from tearing it down.
