    You realize you think like them and they think like you, right? Dehumanizing someone unequivocally and wishing ill upon them is the easy and default human condition you find yourself living in right now.

      i do realize that and it weighs on me, and i hate it, but i refuse to tolerate intolerance.

      I am fully willing to have rational conversations with maga, but after trying 100s of times and making no progress, i see no reason to continue with the olive branch. i would have better luck teaching my dog mandrin, than making maga see reason or have empathy.

        It’s a fascinating social construct: Once enough chronological years are accumulated, expertise is expected. Obviously though, points at everything, that’s a fallacy. They’re literally clinically retarded. It’s uncouthe to fight the retarded.

      Ah, the age-old dilemma: is it morally sound and/or necessary to dehumanize dehumanizers?

      And if we’re honest, isn’t dehumanizing people a very human trait?

      Or put my favorite way: “No one hates like family.”
