No one is dehumanizing them. They are humans. They happen to be humans whose beliefs and actions are an active harm to society and a threat to a large portion of the global population. So they should be removed. They aren't sub-human, they aren't bring targeted for being less than, they aren't being targeted because of race, ethnicity, orientation, religion, or anything like that. For society to grow and thrive they need to no longer be a part of society. How that happens is a judgment call, but it needs to happen.

That's why we need to be sure they're a Nazi, because choosing to be a Nazi IS a declaration of intent to commit genocide, and you can't not respond to that.

It's not dehumanization to recognize that the survival of humanity at large is dependent on striking down depraved groups like this who are opposed to fundamental cooperation and mutual respect and who instead seek total dominance. Because they're not targeted because of a simple preference, or what they're born as, or where, but because they have chosen such vile goals and to be such a great danger to the rest of us.

An example must be set so nobody else will dare to seek dominance because they will have seen what happens to somebody who organizes violence against the innocent. Aggression and instigation against innocent people has to end.

"now now, let's hear them out, I mean all they want to do is enslave those damn [redacted] and torture those fairy [redacted], I mean really, we would be equally bad for shunning them and being mean :("

education in this country, this world, is lacking so much that some people are seriously making this argument. absolutely insane.

if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and proudly tells you that it's a nazi, you should probably treat it as it is a nazi.

Don't even start with this "y so intolerant of intolerance?!?" BS. Tolerance is only a virtue when it's for inherent traits such as race, sex, gender, religion or culture. Not a full grown adult calling for the elimination of anyone they dislike. One is a human trait and the other is a choice to do evil.

Coming to the defense of nazis doesn't make you compassionate it makes you an accomplice to their inevitable violence. Fascism is an existential threat to civilization and these monsters are actively acting on their violent rhetoric.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action."

-Dr. King

You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

Hard disagree. And that way of thinking is why we're in the mess we're in.

Paradox of tolerance

"They go low we go high!"

This kind of cancerous thinking made people stop advocating for even stronger secularism, because the US had a "good christian" in the white house, so it's not religious fundamentalism that is the problem, but "fake christians" wanting to implement Project 2025.

I see what you're saying. Using the rhetoric of "There’s no such thing as murdering a [...]" is the same shit the Nazi said about Jews. I would rather take a nonviolent approach to this kind of thing, but as another person commented the paradox of tolerance can become a problem. I don't want to deal with Nazis. I don't want them in my community. They know they aren't welcome, so they hide, and only show their faces when they have strength to intimidate. But they're still here and they still teach hate wherever they go.

One of the things they did to indoctrinate people into Nazi ideology was to brainwash them as children. The Hitler Youth was a big driving part of his power. I think the first step to combat Nazi hate is to teach empathy first. There's a reason a lot of tattoo artists will do free cover-ups of hate symbols. People change; I want to believe people are inherently good. But until a Nazi sees how evil their beliefs are, they won't listen to reason and need to be treated as such: an evil bastard.

The man who seeks to subjugate, oppress, and destroy the lives of others will find no greater ally than the one he finds in "seekers" of peace.

The rational man is the first enemy of the people, and their expression of freedom.

"I thought" except they showed up with tattoos, flags, uniforms and spewing hate. You didn't need to think that's just a convenient semantic you included. This is bait.

Nazis aren’t human. Tagging you as Nazi simp.

Anyone who uses Nazis for their own goals are Nazis themselves, same solution to them. Its simple. Repeat until the world is devoid of Nazis and then apologize to the Soviets for not listening to them the first time and letting them fester.
