The irony of your comment is that by dehumanising them you are showing the exact same impulse that drives wars of aggression.

The moment you decide certain human beings are completely stripped of dignity and fair game for abuse, you are using the exact same psychological justification that warmongers use.

    “Fascists use hammers to build houses, so if you use hammers to build houses then you’re a fascist!”

    See also, “Hitler was a vegetarian, so all vegetarians are Hitler!”

    Nice strawman you got there.

    The main difference is that dehumanisation is the very core of fascism. The moment you defend human dignity is conditional you accept their main premise.

    No, authoritarianism is the core of fascism. Anyone attempting to force their will onto others by force can fuck themselves to death, they don’t deserve the considerations they actively refuse to others, I will not treat them as people, I did not strip that from them, they actively gave up their humanity. Stop blaming others for that behavior, blame the fucking perpetrators.

    Your faux humanitarianism rhetoric is just the propaganda of pacifism, which is something these specific fucking nazis specifically added to the social programming. You are delivering a rhetoric made by these fucks to protect these fucks from you. Wake up. I’m not the one arguing a straw man.
