        Nah, the moment you think of them as people, they win. They’re not people. They’re a cancer we need to excise and need to stop being squeamish about the surgery.

        You can only beat cancer by completely and violently destroying it.

          They’re not some aliens who dropped here from space, that would make fighting against them so much easier. They’re your neighbors, your coworkers, that random lady in the street corner; people who are choosing to be evil, not some monsters under the bed. Fighting against something isn’t very effective if you aren’t even realistic what you’re up against

              Excuses for what? Denying people are people and can be evil is a stupid way to fight fascism, since it’s is happening because people are evil

                  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.
