    Being a human is very, very different than having humanity. People need to realize these are humans … who willingly betray their humanity.

    They are literally and directly enemies of humanity, who need to be treated as such.

      Right - fight them! Resist them! But do not let them push you into being inhuman yourself.

        If even namecalling is too much for you, then you do not, in fact, understand how to defeat horrible people, let alone fascists destroying humanity.

          I’m not talking about name-calling. Go hog wild with that, it seems fairly effective.

          I’m talking about dehumanizing them. Deciding that any means that will end them is justified. Treating them like feral animals. Harvesting their organs for profit, like outhouseperilous suggested further up. That’s what I’m pushing back on.

            While the organ harvesting is a bit much, you must realize how utterly asinine and inept being against violence is when the target is openly vile people who choose to betray humanity.

            Yes, we must always keep context in that these people are bad because they CHOOSE to betray humanity, but remembering context is wholly different than deciding to go against proven means for defeating this hateful, anti-humanity ideology…

              Who’s arguing against violence? I’m saying don’t dehumanize them. Humans are quite capable of being monstrous and horrible all on their own.

              Absolutely fight back against the fascists! My grandad did, and I think he’s a fine example to follow. He didn’t have to treat them as something other than people to do that, though. He just treated them as the enemy they were.

                If treating someone as an enemy isn’t dehumnaizing, I don’t know what is. What you need to realize is, some people betray their title of human, and deserve zero humanity, because they have betrayed the very humnaity you want to preserve.

                Yes, they’re still humans: The specific animal capable of the worst behaviors imaginable. Some humans do not deserve humanity when they so willingly betray it.
