You're missing the bit where NATO had to go in and participate in the war to prevent further 'ethnic cleansing' by the Serbs.

War crimes trials only happen after the war is concluded.

As for OP, what they're doing is saying fascists actively being fascists deserve death. It's not like people who are currently supporting fascism can't stop being fascists. The choice is up to them.

Can you name a single person who is threatened by a democratically decided punishment for organizing genocide.

If I understand your question correctly: Radovan Karadžić

Further to that, on reddit that comment would have been acceptable if targeted at Muslim "terrorists", or Soviets, or any number of the acceptable targets as decided by "centrists".

  1. A human was involved in the process at some point
  2. Your comment was "threatening violence or physical harm"
  3. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with threatening Nazis with "violence or physical harm" - they're Nazis, their entire schtick is genocide, how do people think that they're supposed to be dealt with, tea and cakes? Chamberlain tried that, didn't work. What did work was killing a whole bunch of them. For my entire childhood and most of my adult life people were lauded for the effort of killing Nazis or dying in the attempt.

Whoever owns the fountains owns the money.

If someone throws money into a fountain and then wishes then that in itself is a complete transaction with whichever supernatural entity is being bargained with.

I am assuming that any entity which is powerful enough to grant wishes is also powerful enough to hang onto the money if that should be its wish.

Alternatively it's a quaint custom that people engage in as a form of custom and the pleasure comes with a link to the tradition.

The periodic clearing out of the fountains is both necessary maintenance and a form of income that pays for said maintenance. No one is really harmed by this.
