It's not just education, it's shitty parenting. You'd recursively have to educate Hitler's parents, and to do that you have to educate their parents etc. ad nauseum. Pretty soon you'd blow your stack. Naive interventionism is worse than just whacking Hitler.
- another_story 5y agoDo people really grow up to be their parents? Did you?
- barrenko 5y agoWhy do you think Hitler was Hitler?
- ulisesrmzroche 5y agoWhy do yall think Hitler invented anti-semitism in Germany? Big Bad Wolf fallacy.

- discreteevent 5y agoI think the point is to whack hitler now but also invest in education now so that you have less hitlers to whack in a few generations time.
