    Here are some facts about Hitler - he was a painter who shot himself because the world didn’t like him. Ready to show compassion to Hitler?

      I am ready to show compassion to anyone until given reason to otherwise. If I were ignorant about Hitler and that’s all I knew about him, yes. I would feel compassion. But that is tricking someone ignorant of Hitler into thinking Hitler wasn’t an evil person, so that’s really on the person doing the trickery.

      I think it’s ok to not be compassionate towards literally Hitler while still being compassionate for people that haven’t done any genocide.

        Why are you talking about genocide? I didn’t mention genocide anywhere.

      Yeah, I would. While you guys were arguing over who got to peel his dick like a banana I’d just strangle him.

      I’m not going to give up my ethics because someone else is a piece of shit.
