I think Nietzsche said something like if you do battle with monsters, be careful you don't become a monster yourself.

Of course, in each situation, people always think "This time it's worse, THIS monster is so extra-special bad that we have to throw away all rules of propriety or be doomed!"

So said Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler.

It's always "different this time."

Hegel said "The only thing you can learn from history is you can't learn anything from history."

Far be it from me to reduce the Two Minutes' Hate to 1:30.

Anyone who doesn't have facts or logic on their side always resorts to yelling "Hitler!" and "Hate Speech!".

But that's no longer intimidating and shutting up the people who are determined to save Western Civilization.

And what Hegel said was wrong. Study the history of the repeated Islamic invasions of Europe ( which leftists are either profoundly ignorant of or think were a good thing), and there are many lessons there about the horrors we can expect and what will ultimately need to be done to end them.
