"Imminent". Yeah that's what I said....wait, no it isn't.

When you wait until something is "imminent" to do anything about it, you're already too late. The idea is to not let things progress to a point where "another Nazi holocaust and world war" is "imminent".

Luckily for planning purposes, there does exist a point before something is "imminent", in which it is instead "foreseeable".

And before things reach the point of "foreseeable", there is an even more advantageous position for us to be in, in which the event is merely "plausible".

We're in "plausible" right now. It's plausible partly because right now there's people like you declaring that if they don't call themselves Nazis there's no need to do anything about them, and if they DO call themselves Nazi's there's still no need to do anything about them. Constant, positive action is required to keep the situation from progressing beyond this evidently innocuous stage where all they're doing is massacring synagogue and mosque congregations and winning isolated elections.
