Who's arguing against violence? I'm saying don't dehumanize them. Humans are quite capable of being monstrous and horrible all on their own.
Absolutely fight back against the fascists! My grandad did, and I think he's a fine example to follow. He didn't have to treat them as something other than people to do that, though. He just treated them as the enemy they were.
If treating someone as an enemy isn't dehumnaizing, I don't know what is. What you need to realize is, some people betray their title of human, and deserve zero humanity, because they have betrayed the very humnaity you want to preserve.
Yes, they're still humans: The specific animal capable of the worst behaviors imaginable. Some humans do not deserve humanity when they so willingly betray it.
Okay, that's the disconnect - you do not need to dehumanize someone to consider them an enemy. Police and militaries often do so, because it makes people easier to shoot; but it is not necessary. And the cognitive dissonance of dehumanizing their targets leads to a lot of the issues soldiers face later on. (And oh, hey - look who's become rife with fascists!)
Fascism absolutely needs stopped. It and the people supporting it are an existential threat. But the way that fascism starts out is by treating some people as less than human, as something other. And if you have to make an enemy a nonperson to beat them, then the groundwork is already laid for fascism to return with the next generation - after all, you've just shown dehumanizing people can get the results you need, right? Why not make a habit of it?
Right. No one should make a habbit of doing it. Though when a motherfucker casts away thsir own humanity, only a fool insists in trying to reestablish it before defeating them.
