      No, that is unacceptable discourse! You may disagree strongly with them, but by dehumanizing them with such statements you prove yourself no better than them. They are not animals or things, they are people with very different views, with emphasis on people.

          yes but we need to ackowledge them as people. Because no matter how much their views disgust us they’re still built of the same flesh and blood as we are, they are a warning, to you and people around you, to not fall into the same ideological trap as they did. If you just consider them “not human” you put yourself at risk of following their steps.

          All the cruel people in history we call monsters were humans. It’s an unnerving thought to share any likness with them, but it’s important we remember that nobody is born evil
