Well, then by your definition all sentient creatures are “human.” Congrats, you’re a cannibal.

There are two senses of the word “human.”

1. The first is biological and concerns speciation (statistical distributions of genetic material).
2. The second is normative, concerning transcendental traits, such as sentience and empathy; it has nothing to do with genes.

“Dehumanization” is a normative concept, not the a biological one, by definition. There is nothing special about being a particular species of animal, such as a homo sapien, but there is something special about consciousness and the capacity to suffer. To pretend otherwise is precisely to dehumanize, you evil moron.

Fired for doing the right thing.

Human beings are literally animals. Fucking moron. There is no trait that you can attribute to all humans that doesn’t also apply to many if not most animals.

Crime?

I notice you have no qualms about treating other sentient animals as “mere meat”? Now that is “dehumanization” on an industrial scale… Like I said, you’re the sort of evil person who abided slavery for 10,000 years.

Actually the ethical choice would be to eat people who defend carnivory since they’re psychopathic anyway and their lives don’t matter.

“Oh no, we wouldn’t want the psychopaths with the broken brains not to exist. That’s eugenics.”

You’re all fucking idiots.

Also, I love how no one gives a shit about the ecological apocalypse. This is why I kept telling you guys: let the hurricanes destroy everything. No more FEMA. Americans clearly don’t care.

For all practical purposes, about 30% of people are unfeeling morons - basically psychopaths. That’s the number that consistently opposes abortion, for instance. Add to that all the dumbasses who don’t know any better (the undecideds on any extremely obvious moral issue), et voila. That’s how you get slavery, nationalism, genocide, theocracy, you name it.

Unless people are willing to screen for psychopathy and remove it from the gene pool, the human species will keep fucking around until it finds out. Might be nuclear apocalypse or environmental collapse, but at this rate it’s inevitable.

You’re right, let’s allow China to militarize space unopposed. What could go wrong?

She didn’t just “die.” She was tortured for 40 hours and then murdered by anti-abortion death cultists.

Damn, what are they called?

Well thank god this computer genius is on the scene. Don’t worry, EA can solve everything as soon as they hear about these great and very original ideas.

The fact that this thoughtful comment was downvoted, while the computer illiterate reply was upvoted, speaks to the hive mind in this subreddit. We all detest EA, but this guy has a legitimate point. Seriously, do none of you have any principles at all?

Psychology used to make sense.

She didn’t just “die.” She was murdered by politicians and anti-abortion death cultists. She was tortured for 40 hours and then murdered.

Texas politicians and anti-abortion death cultists murdered this poor woman.

Conflating culture with skin color is so strange. McInnes has way more culturally in common with the Taliban than he does with any white representative of liberal values. Idiot.
