They're not people, they're nazis. We already went over this please try to keep up.
Ah, so you're just not understanding my point, sorry. Let me try again: Trialing and hanging was the way to handle nazis, sure. But even then they were still people, and that makes what they did so much worse. If we forget common people are capable of horrid things, we overlook why those things were done, and will fail in preventing them from happening again. It's better to remember even the most vile pieces of shit doing the most horrible acts imaginable are still people, so we don't become them, and need hanging too.
I don't need to believe nazis are people to not do nazi shit.
Treating nazis as if they were people is how you get nazis all over the place. You don't put cancerous tumors on trial. You excise and demolish that shit no questions asked. You cut it off and throw it in the biological refuse bin and then incinerate it.
Let's stop pretending nazis are people. They're not. If they were people, they wouldn't be nazis in the first place.
This weird ass belief that nazis somehow are people is what gives them credibility and validity. It's how you end up with a nazi infestation. Let's move that Overton window. Let's make it normal to talk about how nazis need to be punched in the face. Then there will be nothing stopping us from punching nazis in the face.
And I don't need to pretend people aren't capable of horrible things to hate and condemn them. If you need to dehumanize fascist to oppose them, you do you, but I'll still consider that a step towards becoming one, which I wouldn't want anyone to take. If we fully give up on the principles we are trying to defend, it beats the whole purpose.
On that we agree. I'd much rather have fists on fascists faces than hands patting their heads
You can't dehumanize what isn't human in the first place.
I don't know what's happened to you, but I do hope you'll find a better outlet for your anger than posting fantasies of excessive violence online. Nevertheless, have a good day!
