    I’ll take a middle road here

    It’s not good to dehumanize people. Even ones who commit atrocities.

    Dehumanization is how we got here, it’s not a good path back, unless we wanna go in circles.

    It’s subtle, but important, for us to keep human the worst humans. We need to keep salient that these atrocities are being committed by our own to our own humans. That we are all capable of it.

      I agree with you. Furthermore, it’s a step down the path of genocide. If your opponent is not human, why do they deserve human rights? They’re a dangerous animal. You wouldn’t let a dangerous animal live.
