Ah alright, gotcha. Personally I refrain from generalizing that line of thinking, not because I don't wish the worst to those people (I really do - fuck 'em) but because dehumanization to me is a slippery slope, it has lead to the worst atrocities and I refuse to think the same way the 'enemy' does. But I really understand why you do it.

But they are human. They not something different, they are just like you and I are, they just don't give a shit about other humans. I'm trying to say we are all the same species, they all had the potential to NOT be that monstrous and that makes what they're doing even worse. Would they just be 'inhuman sociopathic piece of shit' that would mean they couldn't help themselves, but they could, they are human, they could be nice and loving and caring and instead choose to not be and that's worse.

If I understand what you're saying right, then that's exactly what I was saying. These people are not some different species, some terrifying unimaginable thing, they are humans.

Dehumanizing divorces these evils from the human soul. It pretends that only monsters would do such evil. The ss men in the concentration camps were not monsters, they were humans who loved their wives and children, that doesn't diminish their crimes it just clarifies that those evils lie within humans. That makes those crimes even worse in my opinion, because it proves those people are capable of love and are capable to tell right from wrong and they willingly ignored their love and humanity to do such evil.

We all carry the same potential for evil, it's better to acknowledge that than to pretend there are monsters with human clothing among us.

Just join them and stand outside for 5 min.

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race or ethnicity over another.[1][2][3] It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different ethnic background.

I don't know, seems to fit the definition nicely.

Don't ask about Porsche, Opel, Bayer, Adidas... basically any German company that existed in that period.

The Guards' statement included a reference to another ship, which it said was hit by projectiles - usually a reference to drones - on Wednesday morning.

I was wondering that, from the pictures of at least the Thai Cargo ship the damage looks to be too minor to be from Anti-ship Missiles. Looks like Iran is holding back those for more meaty targets like US warships and the geography makes it hard to catch all those before they get to be a real threat. Just one of those slipping through can cause massive damage.

Well was it a Noor, Qader, Ghadir, Ra'ad, Nasr-1, Kowsar, Zafar, Khajir Fats, Hormuz 2, maybe an old expect they had lying around.

(I was just going to make the joke and name 2 or 3 Anti Ship Missiles, then looked it up and was amazed just how many different ASM systems Iran has in their arsenal, that list isn't even half of the models listed.)

That's such a clever trick - to make that whole thing about who pressed the button on that specific missile instead of having a debate about how starting the war created the circumstances that made the pressing of the button possible in the first place.

 

European red squirrel, northern Germany.

We live right next to a park, where a tree grows partially over our balcony, so the little one can safely come and go. Over the past weeks she's gotten more curious and has been exploring every corner of the balcony, she's also gotten more comfortable with our presence.

A few days ago we were having tea outside and she joined us briefly, so we put out some hazelnuts and she returned immediately from her lookout on the tree.

First she checked from a safe distance.

She then brought the nuts into several hiding spots around and returned again, at this point she really started to muster us. She then made a big jump right on to our table, ran across it until she sat 30cm in front of my girlfriend and stared right into the camera, that's where we took the title picture.

The photo is slightly out of focus because she ran up to us so boldly, we couldn't turn the zoom down quickly enough.

After that photo we put the camera down, to enjoy the moment more, she ran around us a little bit and then retreated back to her tree.

It seems like we made a friend that day, she comes by periodically, we bought more nuts and although she is careful around us, she accepts our presence. We can move slowly and also talk normally, just fast movements makes her a little skittish.

So greetings from Hazel to all of you, we wish you and your squirrel friends a merry autumn!
