  All people are people. Dehumanizing someone is a great technique for authoritarian regimes, but should be resisted by everyone else.

    Absolutely this. This is crucial to resisting fascism in its various forms: dehumanising is an extremely dangerous slope and used to prepare people to accept unacceptable things.

    TERFs are people. Nazis are people. Murderers and rapists are people. Fans of Asmongold are people.

    It may be hard to accept, and tempting to dehumanise, but please don’t.

      Exactly. This will sounds flippant, but it’s the same thing when people debate over “what is art” as if something has to be good in order to be considered art.

      Likewise, you don’t need to be good to be considered a person. In fact there is nothing you could do that could rob you of your personhood in my eyes. It’s inalienable. That doesn’t mean every person is good or should be treated the same way.

    I treat people the way they treat other people.

    If Nazis say a group of people aren’t people, then Nazis aren’t people.

    Nazis are vermin that should be exterminated. A cancer on humanity that should be cut out with a big knife.

    And if they don’t like that, then they should change their mentality.

      I think the nuance is that Nazis ought to be acknowledged as being people, but not afforded any of the respects and graces the Nazis themselves deny others.

      No you don’t. You treat people the way you can get away with.

      If an ICE agent bumped into you on the street tomorrow, you’d tip your fucking hat and keep your eyes down, because you were terrified of what he’d do to you if you didn’t.

    Nah they decided they don’t want to be people. They see themselves as better. Not better people, just better. Therefore they aren’t people, by their own admission.

      They hate us of existing, we hate them for the harm they cause others. We are not the same.

      And for all the individuals clutching their pearls over my comment please realize that I know what I said is right because when none Nazies (aka Antifaz) are in charge literal Nazies are not being rounded up and sent to gas chambers! Can we say the same of the Nazies were in charge?!

      I don’t want Nazies dead. But they are not people.

        I think you’ve got it backwards, friend! They are people, just awful people who need to be stopped.

    Nazis are people who need to be forcibly reeducated, and the only way to get there historically is through violence.

    source

    • Alaknar@sopuli.xyz ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      All fundamentalists should be reeducated.

      Reeducation through violence is the methodology of totalitarian regimes, like the Third Reich, the USSR/russia, or China.

        Good luck debating Nazis. The USSR famously defeated them, BTW, you can thank them for being alive today if you’re European

      id rather see them rehabilitated in jail, what you want is no different than what nazis do.

      • Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        What exactly did you think I meant by “forcibly reeducated” if not rehabilitated in prison?

    Yea nah, if somebody considers that I should be killed because race, or whatever else, they are not human to me.

    I will not be held to a high standard of humanity by somebody that has no standard in respect to me.

  Saying they aren’t people denied the evil that humans are capable. By calling bad people inhuman, it allows us to forget that we are able to choose evil.

  Sadly I have to disagree. They are living people. Do they deserve to be living? No. But they are still living entities which we classify as people.

  Fuck Nazis though. They should die.

  There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy fascism.

  You cannot discount how many modern American fascists are pulled from the ranks of the unemployable post-industrial underclass. How many people are signing up for ICE strictly for a paycheck? How many signed up for the National Guard or enlisted in our imperial wars overseas for the GI benefits? How many people could have been EMS or construction workers or ag workers with a paycheck that covered cost of living or white collar schlubs doing email jobs, but are instead getting handed tasers and zip ties and an unlimited license to do violence to their neighbors?

    Perfectly fine Marxist, anarchist, and liberal rhetoric alike in the lead up to the Second Anti-Fascist War.
