Like the kind that made you stop and think for a second about how stupid the person advocating it is. For me, it's the classic "The biggest mistake in recent history was the Allies not pushing into Russia after the fall of Berlin."

There's just a level of imperialist arrogance and blood thirst in there that makes my skin crawl. The worst thing in human history was that the US didn't immediately betray the Soviets and wipe them out until they were sure communism was done for.

Some frat bro looked me dead the eye and was like "We should nuke the Middle East. All of it. How many of them are good people, really?"

This was within 5 minutes of meeting him

This was the default frat guy view in 2003 in America.

Reminds me of a colleague. He said we (Russia) should nuke Mi6 and announce "we'll do the same to anyone else who'll try us"
