De-humanize the people stealing from Habitat for Humanity? Are we supposed to respect Nazis' opinions or not run the Klan out of town either for fear of sinking to their level?
We don't have to respect their opinions. (In fact we should vigorously and completely reject them.)
We do have to respect that they are human, and they deserve human rights, whatever those are -- the ones we wouldn't deny a diagnosed and self-identifying sociopath.
We can deny them power, even some freedom, but not their humanity, even as they deny ours or others.
Couldn't have said it better.
Cool you can enjoy the high road to hell. I'm glad you can feel good about yourself and really feel empathy towards them while they continue stripping rights from others. I will continue to see them as the monsters they are.
That's not at all what we are saying. You seem way too emotional, might be a good idea to take a step back and not start artificial fights with someone you basically agree with... I don't feel empathy for these people at all. De-humanizing is simply put counter-productive, as it puts a shadow where a light should be, and that is how those people are influenced to become this way, thus clarifying what goes wrong in society and eliminating the root cause by pointing it out every step of the way.
Lemmy has some of the dumbest people I've ever interacted with. Good luck with that
You mean people that don't have any logical arguments, thus only try to insult others and start left-wing in-fighting instead of trying to do something productive? I see your point.
Fuck all of the way off. It's non-stop hypocrisy from dipshits like you that make meaningful discourse here impossible.
