If it is a war against a idea, then even if you somehow manage to kill every last sole
with that idea, you have not won because at any moment someone else could have
the idea.
It's a little like other wars on ideas, such as the "war on drugs". Even if you lock up
every drug user in the world, you haven't won the war because at any moment
someone else could become a drug user.
In these kind of "wars" it is better to target the idea, rather than the people with the
idea. If you manage to convince everyone that something is a bad idea, then it doesn't
usually re-surface.
No one thinks the world is flat or believes in Zeus.
This isn't because all the flat world and Zeus believers where killed, it's because the
idea was killed.
This is wildly off topic btw.
