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.
I treat people the way they treat other people.
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.
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.
Ahahahaah love the “Fans of Asmongold” jab
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.
Nazis are people who need to be forcibly reeducated, and the only way to get there historically is through violence.
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

Who said anything about debating?
The USSR famously defeated them
LOL, good one! :D
BTW, you can thank them for being alive today if you’re European.
I’m from one of the countries that suffered massive atrocities under the bastards.
I suppose you decry the violence that the USA exerted on Nazi Germany?
I suppose you don’t understand the difference between war and peace? Actually makes sense considering the bullshit you’re saying about russians…
ok china we get it, your “re-education” camps work well for your brainwashing
id rather see them rehabilitated in jail, what you want is no different than what nazis do.
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.
