Its "reconquest" of the EU will be under the banner of "Make Europe Great Again," and its leaders say Donald Trump’s recent return to the White House signals it is time for Europe to change. “We are living in an historic age, and my message to all the old leaders from Macron to Scholz, to your own Pedro Sanchez: It's your time. It's over now. They are history,” Geert Wilders, leader of the PVV party in The Netherlands told an audience of around 2,000 people on Saturday.

You know, about a year ago or so, I mentioned that I thought the single greatest mistake humanity has ever made was in not killing every single nazi at the end of ww2

It did not go over well at the time.

Looking like maybe we need to finish that job now.

    The idea that anideology is purely inherited is utter nonsense. Killing all the Nazis at the end of the war would not prevent people being Nazis now. It would instead mean a lot of innocent German people would not now exist as their families would have been murdered for doing what it took to survive in Nazi Germany - I.e. joining the party.

    Never said the ideology was inherited.

    I said it was a mistake not to kill them all.

    It sets a precedent, draws a line that says very clearly that if you cross it, you're dead.

    Whether or not that changes people being hate filled jackasses is a separate issue. But they'd know what's coming, and so would anyone else.
