That's what you're complaining about? You guys are fucking lucky that people aren't just walking up to you and shooting you in the head. They aren’t human.

I am merely doing unto them what they have been doing unto us. The saying is "do unto others as you would have done unto you." I'm merely doing that, but from reverse.

dehumanization of one’s enemy is the first step toward radicalism.

Systematically exterminating the cockroaches that is ICE and Republicans might be how we get out of this pit.

    I see, so you actually want them to dehumanize you? So you're supporting what ICE is doing?

    Because the saying is, with emphasis, "do onto others as you would have them do onto you", i.e. in plain English, "treat others as you would like to be treated yourself". So if you dehumanize them, that means you must like being dehumanized yourself (at least as long as you apply the saying).

    I think the saying that fits you more is "eye for an eye", just don't read what popularly comes after.

    I'm merely doing unto them as they requested through their actions. Not doing so would be disrespectful and might cause ICE to shoot you got not complying with officer directives.

    That's exactly the type of things I hear from ICE and their supporters

    Treating the other side as inhuman is a necessity for commutting atrocities

    Fundamentalists are the historical perpetrators of all atrocities: the crusades, witch hunts, slavery, Nazi shit. Maybe it's time to do unto them what they have done unto us.
