Oh fuck off. People are pissed off and rightly so, don’t impose your bloated sense of morality on them and try to villainize the people being put under the boot of fascists for viewing those fascists as inhuman monsters when they are acting like inhuman monsters. Asking people to humanize victims is fine, but demanding that people humanize those that terrorize them is just moral masturbation. Shut the hell up.
No.
My sense of morality is the reason I'm not a Nazi and don't act like a Nazi.
You know what, you're right. We should just shrug, throw our hands up, and declare "guess they're just evil subhuman scum!" instead of looking at the problem objectively and dealing with the societal issues that lead human beings into these kinds of ideologies. I bet that'll work this time.
Bullshit. They are human beings. They have some really bad beliefs and it's ok to dislike them. You're already justified. You don't need the hyperbolus bullshit. You don't need to talk exactly like they do to make your point.
Fuck fascists. They are subhuman scum because they are actively choosing to be subhuman scum. They forfeit their right to be regarded as a person and became part of a system of hate. It’s not an innate trait of who they are, and I’m not giving them the benefit of empathy when they are making the choice of viewing real people as targets out of pure hatred of them being a different skin color or speaking a different language or being born on a different piece of land. Nazis and fascists gave up their humanity by choice, not by nature. You’re begging sympathy for the devil to appease your ego to feel holier than thou. Fuck your soap box.
