>I don’t think your comparison to the Irish Revolution is accurate as there is no country occupying the United States.

What exactly does the US have to do with anything at all here?

I'm only responding to the claim that "political problems can be solved without resorting to violence". I never made a comparison to the US. The people of Ireland were definitely NOT able to solve their political problems without violence.

>Nazism was the result of violent extremism becoming politically mainstream

Yes, but that's beside the point. Germany's neighbors had no choice but to resort to extreme violence to handle the Nazi problem. It was either that and surrender and line up for slavery or death camps.
