    Ok, fine. I didn’t want it to come to this, but here we go with a real life example: You’re a Nazi!

    There. You’ve been called a nazi. So now, by your logic, you are no longer human and are undeserving of human rights (by definition of no longer being human). Which means you’re fair game to whatever I think should happen to you because it doesn’t matter since you’re not human.

    Are you a Nazi? Probably not. But I’ve decreed it in the comment section, so by your logic I’m allowed to call for your imprisonment, death, or whatever I feel befits a nazi.

    Don’t like that? Well, you shouldn’t have made me think you’re a nazi. You dehumanized yourself with your rhetoric.


    Ok, with that out of the way: no, I do not think you’re a nazi.

    No one here is saying nazis are good; no one here is defending them. What I am saying is maybe don’t fucking use their tactics of dehumanizing portions of the population.

      if I have been shown to toss a salute, support trump, pine for the good old blood and soil days, and or supply logistics to those doing those things, sure.

      as in, the persons in the original article.

      it is a choice to support them. a choice that makes you one of them.

      america is the bad guy on the current era’s world stage.

      stop making it difficult to call nazis out for being inhuman pieces of trash.

      they can be healed! but not by threads online. direct community action and a sprinkling of leopards eating faces will turn some around back into being human again.

      Yep they are some combination of ignorant, greedy, selfish, and cruel, but they are indeed human.

      And despite what this administration wants us to think, Latinos are humans too and most are not criminals.
