Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public
BlackDragon@slrpnk.net 3 days agoYou have completely missed my point. If you insist on deluding yourself that your enemies aren’t human, you will be surprised by the reality that they are.
Quit trying to dehumanize your opponents. Not only for the reason that I keep reiterating, that it is bad strategically, but it is also ethically abhorrent.

That is correct. The evil people you have to defend yourself against are human. If you continue to delude yourself that you are only allowed to fight against that which is not human, and thus all your enemies must not be human, you will fail because of the contradictions inherent to this delusional point of view.
You need to take a principles stance against fascists, that they are fought because of what they choose to do and what their choices require of the rest of us. They aren’t born this way, you can’t find the fascism gene under a microscope, you can’t do phrenology and determine that fascists all have this or that skull shape. They’re just human. If they have to not be human for you to be willing to fight them, you will lose.

There’s no such thing as a soul, and again, if your enemies have to be inhuman for you to fight them you aren’t going to fight them. Reality and your point of view cannot be reconciled.
