re: #221 Shiplord Kirel

There’s more to the paradox than Hitler’s predestination. The rise of Hitler or someone similar (possibly worse) was likely due to the combination of the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression. Even if you remove Hitler from the timeline before 1930 (let’s say you travel to WWI and kill him in a fox hole, instead of as a baby), that does not mean the Nazis do not happen. And then, even if you stopped the Nazis from happening, the outcome could have been much worse - as #17 Eclectic Cyborg points out.

The point is, I think, that there are certain events so big, and so important, in history that they can’t be changed - even if you had the ability to change them.
