        The last thing I want is to normalize dehumanizing people

        Maybe it comes from being a part of a group that has historically been dehumanized but it always leads to bad outcomes

          I’ll remember that as they put you on the wall, right after they put me up there too.

          You don’t try to love cancer away, you cut it out or physically destroy it by all means possible.

          And boy, has Western society metastasized.

            Dehumanising really isn’t effective against nazis, because it implies that actual humans aren’t capable of atrocious behaviour while we’ve clearly seen that they are. It’s always better to call nazis/fascists/imperialists/colonialists/racists/homophobes/etc by their name.

      For those objecting to this it’s absolutely true. Fight Nazis, with guns when necessary, but do not be misled into believing they are wholly alien or inhuman. That’s how you end up living in the middle of a bunch of Nazis without realizing their Nazis.

        Remember the most pathetic thing about these people is they they are as human as everyone else, they just actively decided to utterly lobotomize their empathy and compassion.
