(removed โ sorry this thread is too fedposty for my liking)
I think for a lot of people, they'd normally be right there with you, and as you mentioned with self defense, the more people are pushed into survival-mode against someone hell-bent on destroying you, it starts to feel like destroying Nazis is the moral thing to do. Are you familiar with the Paradox of Tolerance? If you tolerate intolerance, it will take over society, so one could argue you must never tolerate intolerance. With Nazis being the real world embodiment of this paradox, extending that reasoning, the morally responsible thing to do is to destroy Nazis any time and place they spring up.
You say "destroy" but you mean murder. That's not okay. I know the Paradox of Tolerance, and it doesn't say to jump to straight-up murder. That should never be the first thought, it should be the worst case scenario.
I think you missed the point. I mean Justifiable homicide. That's exactly how grave the threat here is, and not just for minorities.
e: for the record, i am the most non-violent person i know. I won't kill a fly, even flies deserve to live. I have no such feelings towards Nazis
