Um, that post was talking about Fred ROGERS and Steve ROGERS.
Though it is clear that Captain America was FOR killing Nazis, especially those in positions of power. I can agree with that.

improvised zip line with no safety precautions
people thinking that hanging from something just with the strength of your hands and arms is easy

I suppose that must be the technical term.
Something to remember before trying something like that, if you can't do a single pull up and stay up a couple seconds, don't do that. Also, don't try improvised human waste with no safety gear.
