Hitler was also democratically elected and the Germans didn't seem to be able to vote him out.

  So you believe it would have been wrong to violently remove Hitler from power when he was chancellor before the death of Paul von Hindenburg? If you had to power to prevent a man who espouses a genocidal political ideology from seizing absolute power, would you not do so?

    Without foreknowledge that someone is going to overthrow democracy and enact a violent dictatorship, and while they are playing within the rules of democracy: yes, it's wrong. Of course we now know Hitler ended up with a dictatorship, but at the time he was playing by the rules. If you are going to argue scifi time-travel scenarios, I'm not interested and you can shove them up your ass where they belong. This is getting really silly. Either you respect democracy or you don't. You don't, period. Your worldview is vile and I want nothing to do with you.

  >> How hard is this to understand? Indeed, he got into power by democratic vote. After that he bullied his way in dictatorship. But the first step was getting elected into the Bundestag. >> Really, this is getting silly: it's ok to overthrow dictatorships, it's not ok to overthrow democracies you don't like as long as they remain democratic. You have to wait your turn. If somebody promises to overturn a democracy the moment he is elected. We should wait for him to do this and only then start with the resistance?

        Decorate a Christmas tree instead of building a straw man, it's more relaxing.

        It's not a strawman if you keep avoiding the specific, true history and instead make up bullshit. Stick a Christmas tree up your ass. I looked at your post history and saw your discussions with other people, and it seems this is your modus operandi: spout bullshit and then dodge direct questions. You did this here: you basically avoided all direct statements and instead went on fantasy tangents. Fuck off.
