      The last thing I want is to normalize dehumanizing people

      Maybe it comes from being a part of a group that has historically been dehumanized but it always leads to bad outcomes

        I’ll remember that as they put you on the wall, right after they put me up there too.

        You don’t try to love cancer away, you cut it out or physically destroy it by all means possible.

        And boy, has Western society metastasized.

          Dehumanising really isn’t effective against nazis, because it implies that actual humans aren’t capable of atrocious behaviour while we’ve clearly seen that they are. It’s always better to call nazis/fascists/imperialists/colonialists/racists/homophobes/etc by their name.
