    By eliminating the next generation(s) and the females in fertile age, it is more effective at wiping out a population than engaging directly with it.

    This is valid for getting rid of vermin, capable of explosive breeding.

    No need to guess what the results will be when applied to human beings.

      This is a weird way to phrase this.

        Dehumanization works because many of the popular cultures around the world treat non-humans terribly. As we’re talking about the “cradle” of Western civilization, we’re talking about pastoralists especially.

          Yeah well I think I’d be more impressed if you extended empathy rather than more callous disregard for humans

            That is a fair criticism. I respect it.

              I get this and this is part of the basis of satire, right?

              But the more speech is focused on the dark side, the more our brains focus on the dark because that’s how they work. Eg “Don’t think of a bear,” vs “think of a duck.” But it’s ultimately your writing to style as you’d like
