Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

The worst maker mistake humanity has ever made was not killing every nazi after ww2.

I've gotten some nasty responses to that one lol

But I'm fucking right

But killing every Nazi wouldnโ€™t have killed the ideology.

What would the point be then?

You ever hear of the idea of some act being a warning to others?

If you wipe out all known nazis, the rest of them are now aware of the price of their practices. You can then freely stomp them out as they arise, like the cockroaches they are.

No, not like roaches, because roaches have a role in a healthy ecosystem (when it isn't an invasive species). Nazis are a fucking cancer. You eradicate cancer, you nuke it, poison or, and cut it out, you don't tolerate it. Because if you do, it grows and spreads and kills everything else.
