Ricky Gervais Wouldn't Kill Baby Hitler

[Takes Two To Tango]

I thought this was an interesting scenario.

Given the opportunity.

What would you do, if you were to go back in time and given the orders to kill baby hitler.

Would you do it?

I wonder what history would be like if he was killed as a baby. Better or worse?

This reminds me of The Terminator film.

 

[Brom Bones]

Absolutely not! Think of how many pointless people would be here right now if WW2 hadn't happened. We need MORE wars to keep our population manageable.

So you think wars helps with population control?

You got to remember population boomed massively after World War II.

True.

If you kill Hitler, you're just going to have a bigger problem with Stalin, a few years later.....

 

[pugilistico]

People who would kill Hitler are assuming that killing hitler would prevent a massive genocide and war in Europe. But also remember there also major conflicts and mass murders happening around this time period outside of the european theatre of WW2 and the holocaust. Maybe another genocidal maniac would replace hitler? Maybe Stalin would try to invade Europe and we'd have WW2 anyway? Maybe WW2 wouldn't happen but there's a war nevertheless. Maybe things would be worse? I don't know how we can gaurantee that things would be better if Hitler died as a baby.

Or maybe one just wants an excuse to kill a baby and baby Hitler is the baby you can feel the most morally justified murdering?

Baby Adolf was cute though.

 

[William Huggins]

Without Hitler, Russia would've attacked first and we would still have a giant war in Europe.

Stalin was mobilising before 1939.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Deadpool agrees with Ricky.

I mean, who knows what the alternate history would look like......but 99.99999999% none of us would have ever been born.

 

[I Am Legion]

Sci Fi movies tell us even the most minor change to the timeline could greatly change history. Killing a guy that created one of the most well-known atrocities in history could have a disastrous butterfly effect.

 

[Streeter]

Quite the time paradox issues if you did.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Murdering a baby is the worst sin imaginable so hell no. Plus you still have the same intelligentsia and revolutionary climate that created Hitler. Shit could've possibly ended up being even worse.

 

[cmw43]

Nope, no idea what the alternative timeline looks like, could end up with Stalin ruling Europe and the Japanese ruling Asia.

The past is the past. I’d rather effect the future.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Why not adopt him instead?

 

[Kardashians]

Why not adopt him instead?

 

[shunyata]

I said no cause it's wrong, the baby hasn't done anything.

Plus you probably got the wrong baby.

And I favor free will over determinism.

This has to be a very deterministic universe for that shit to work.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Literally just drop baby Hitler off at a catholic Orphanage in the US. Problem solved.

 

[squeezewax]

I know a lot more about Hitler and Germany of the 30s and 40s than i used to, so the answer is no.

 

[Chama]

Hey.. how 'bout Baby Netanyahu ?
