> in fact the Republican primaries featured serious questions on whether to kill baby Hitler, taking it as granted that killing adult Hitler was a moral imperative.

It's not worth to take part in such worthless philosophical debates in my opinion. They do not add anything to the society or solve any important modern day problems.

> their entire business model is literally illegal in most of the places they operate.

If that's true their website should be shut down in countries where it's banned.

I agree, but I was not defending these debates, just giving evidence for my claim that a common position in the mainstream right wing is that Hitler is worth fighting.

I agree with this too, but law enforcement is not always effective at stopping well-funded companies blitzing through regulations (VCs call this phenomenon "disruption").
