Mostly ttrpg stuff and a lil art.
Hitler had to be defeated by a ragtag group of misfits (the jock, the goth, the popular girl, the troublemaker, the Communist dictator) in an unlikely alliance using, mostly, the power of friendship. Because the important part wasn't the defeat, it was the lessons learned along the way.
it seems clear that most people do not really want to take a life, no matter how terrible, and so the support system that is required to get someone into such a position to succeed is very hard to come by
i would posit that this is why assassinations are typically only successful with state sponsored backing against dehumanized targets and even then most fail
I actually think it's just surprisingly hard to assassinate someone with a serious security detail and get away with it. Most people are not willing to basically guarantee their own deaths to kill a guy, they have families or friends to take care of
That is to say, taking a life is not the hard part and it does not require dehumanization
people throw their lives away all the time for many other reasons 🤷
i would argue from a practical standpoint is extremely easy, particularly if they do not care about collateral damage
the secret service agents took way too long to respond to a recent action and if the shooter had just kept shooting it would have been a done deal
Shinzo Abe was taken out by a home made weapon held together with tape
humans are alarmingly fragile and frankly these methods are wildly over engineered
a well placed banana peel would probably be enough to take out some people
