modern liberals have this interesting perspective that is essentially the opposite of “the ends justify the means” where the means are actually the ends. The problem is not the genocide or the exploitation, it’s the authoritarianism that necessarily accompanies those things. So if you were to use authoritarianism to destroy a fascist movement it is exactly the same thing as using authoritarianism to do genocide. It’s not the genocide or the destruction of fascists that is good or bad, it’s the means by which you do it.

    It's infuriating to see these children smugly lecture other people about how effectiveness if for bad people, and don't you realize that if you become effective you are therefore bad? Bet you didn't think about that, better read up a little more or your politics there kiddo, I understand being young and idealist but one day you'll understand the we had to do this genocide to beat the fascists.
