every single one; when I see a shitty tel aviv influencer join the IDF, I look forward to them being exploded by heroic Hamas resistance fighters; I pray constantly for their violent death

      You know what happens when you execute/kill every single enemy? They don't surrender. They fight to their deaths. They fight with all their strength.

      You take prisoners to make your victory easier, not to be a good guy.

        I'm being hyperbolic. It's only about 80 percent that deserve the wall.

        These people can not be rehabilitated. It's unfortunate but it's true.

      What do people do if their choices are fight or die? They fight.

      If you want to end a war as soon as possible, you can't tell the enemy you're going to kill them all once you win.

        Sure, lie to them and then round them up and put them to the wall - Mao style

          When did Mao do that?

          With landlords, for instance, my understanding is he basically put their fate in the hands of their local communities. That famously resulted in revolutionary land redistribution, but punishments beyond that varied based on local conditions, with plenty of landlords losing little beyond their lands and authority.

            1000 flowers campaign. Promises to let the reactionaries have free speech, pinpointed them all and then executed/jailed them

              Ah. We're getting pretty far from analogous facts with that, and whether it was an intentional strategy to flush out reactionaries is debated.
