“Nazis aren’t human but we are” is how we got to the point of having Nazis everywhere again. It’s this kind of thinking that makes people complacent. Nazis are ordinary humans, ordinary people. Becoming a Nazi is a thing regular people do. That’s why Nazism is so dangerous. They’re not weird monsters, they’re regular humans acting as a poison in society. Every society should be on guard for signs that its people are turning Nazi.
Which isn’t to say we should be gentle and tolerant towards these poisonous people. Left undealt with, Nazi poison will destroy everything. It has to be dealt with decisively, and when the government is full of Nazis it’s up to the people to fight back.
It’s not sympathy. It’s recognition that Nazism is a disease any society can succumb to. It’s refusal to take the cheap option and say they’re not human. Their being human is what makes Nazism so dangerous. And we probably agree that you can’t pull punches in dealing with Nazis.
I suspect we’re using the term “human” differently. In my book it’s neutral: humanity means great potential for good and evil. Nazism is the great evil in humanity’s potential. But by “human” people sometimes mean to focus on what makes us capable of compassion and selflessness and not just brutes. There’s none of that in Nazism: it’s sheer brutality and selfishness. So in that sense Nazis do lack humanity.
I reject your claim that I’m sympathetic to Nazis. There’s no sympathy for Nazis here, just a recognition of how deeply dangerous Nazism is.
Hey man, I also don’t agree with the death penalty, so you might wanna revise that tag to include murderes, rapists, and anything else you can think of.
Nazis aren’t human. Tagging you as Nazi simp.

Sorry I disagree with your sympathy for Nazis.

We both disagree with each other. My views have not changed.

Yes I understand who you are entirely and I think you’re sick.
