253. Were

they "wiped out"? Huh, that's news. Who were those people marching in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" aligned with? How about all the white supremacists sporting their swastika tattoos and wearing their Nazi garb clearly showing us all they are supporters of the policies/actions of Hitler and the Nazi's? The people who firebomb and shoot up Synagogues? Who do they more often than not align with? How do they even exist? I thought they were wiped out? A bunch of people were wiped out, soldiers and citizens alike but the ideology remains to this very day. Lather rinse and repeat where terrorist groups are concerned.

And there lies the problem. An action is taken by (fill in villain group here) , people in the non-villain group instantly react with "wipe them out". Wipe out the Nazis, wipe out white supremacists, wipe out the terrorists. And war is waged. Economies are strained, citizens suffer and whole new groups of enraged people are created calling for "wipe them all out". Problem is, the "wiping out" only applies to living breathing humans. The ideology will remain long after the killing stops. So in that sense, yeah, you sure wiped them out. But you didn't address the actual problem.

"Some murderous mindsets don't deserve peace or sympathy in the least." Huh, you think some of those people just trying to live their lives that had most of their family "wiped out" merely because they had the misfortune of being a citizen of (insert country here) might just think that same thing about those who came in and "wiped out" their family? And...the cycle continues.
