  I recently got my grandfather’s WWII side arm. I know it still works at the range, but I wonder if it works on Nazis… I hope I never have to find out.

    Sidearm: What is my purpose?

    thefartographer: You kill Nazis.

    Sidearm: Oh my g–, wait; I’m okay with that!

      Ehhhhh. I get why. But no.

      My grandfather never once spoke about the war. His joke in the nursing home was funny . That joke was still different than this joke.

      He didn’t say he’d enjoy it, he didn’t say he was okay with it. He said he can do and he’s done it before.

      I wasn’t in WW2 obviously. I will.comoare it to growing up on a farm. I had to kill starving stray dogs people dropped off in the country side.

      I can do it. I can kill a dog. I have killed plenty of dogs. I don’t enjoy killing dogs, I’m okay with killing dogs. I can do it.

      My grandfather could kill people. Those people I assume were mostly Nazis during the war. He never mentioned random roadside murders. He could kill Nazis. He had killed Nazis before. He didn’t say he was okay with killing Nazis. You shouldn’t be okay taking a life even if it had to be done.

      I was doing the starving dogs a favor… I was never okay with it tho. It should never be fun to take a life, even if you have to. It should never be okay.

        Idr where I heard this quote but your story reminded me of it and I’m paraphrasing cus my memory is fuzzy

        “Does it ever get easier? Taking a life?” “The day I’m no longer bothered by it is the day the next life I take is my own”

        The reason that sticks with me is I’m pretty passive, but the lengths I’d go to to protect those close to me defiantly don’t sound enjoyable :(

  My 13 year old Reddit account was permanently banned for saying “It’s OK to punch Nazis”.

  Fuck that site. Long live Lemmy.

  Kill Nazis.

    Absolutely OK to punch Nazis. In fact, it makes you a good person.
