It’s time to start a movement for new Nuremberg trials. After WWII many Nazis were tried for genocide and various war crimes, and they were executed.
I remember a long time ago my friend Stirling Newberry told me that western elites had only one moral rule, “Don’t be Nazis.” Anything short of being a Nazi was OK: mass murder that didn’t quite reach genocide, mass impoverishment, police states that didn’t quite reach “we are the Gestapo” levels, etc…
This struck me as not much of a red line, you can do a lot of evil without being as bad as the Nazis, after all.
But they’ve crossed even this red line. They’re Nazis. Trump, Trudeau, Biden, Harris, almost every leader and politician in Europe, outside of Spain and Ireland, certainly virtually every German and British politician, has aided and abetted genocide. We’re not just talking looking the other way, they’ve locked up those opposed to genocide and they’ve sent weapons and in many cases (Britain) they’ve actively defended Israel from those trying to stop the genocide militarily, like Yemen and Hezbollah.
Nor are we just talking politicians. Journalists were executed at Nuremberg, and most of the journalists in the West have covered for genocide now. The New York Times, the BBC, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the Guardian, the Telegram, every major TV news show, etc, etc… They knew genocide was happening, they lied about it, they did everything they could to make sure it could continue.
And, of course, almost every Israeli politician and almost all members of America’s congress, many members of Britain’s and Canada’s House of Commons, most Germany politicians, most EU officials, and so on.
All of these people need to hang from the neck till dead. All of them. If we don’t have “supports genocide” as a red line, we have no red lines at all.
This isn’t politically possible now. They’re in power. But they won’t be in power forever. Never forget. Never forgive. And ensure justice.
Fair trials and if they aided genocide, hang them from the neck till dead. There is no statute of limitations on genocide.
And if you’re completely selfish, understand this. They think they can even commit genocide and get away with it. This time it was a bunch of brown people in another country, but having crossed that line, the next line is “what if we mass murder white people in the first world? Could be we get away with it? They let us make them poor and homeless, is killing them that big a step? They’re just useless eaters, anyway.”

A lot of us were thinking “woodchippers” but hanging does have the virtue of not being messy.

This amounts to proposing another genocide. How many people do you want to kill, Ian?
For my part, I am perfectly satisfied if they are removed from power.

Just the ones who aided genocide, Jan. You’re the sort of person who doesn’t believe in serious punishment for mass murder. I get it, you have no ethics worth speaking of, and are actually OK with genocide, using the accusation of it as a way to ensure it continues.
I notice, also, the effective admission that a LOT of people actively aided genocide. But since there are so many, they should be allowed to carry on. “If enough people commit genocide, a critical mass is reached where there are too many to punish”. Hell of an argument.
