You make this argument and it immediately falls apart because people revert to “Well they want to do this, this, and this, so they actually are an enemy”
You see it here in these very comments. If you are different from the “normal” you will eventually be hated, regardless of whoever is in power. It is human nature. It has not changed, it will not change.
People, families, tribes, nations have risen to power and subsequently lost power. It’s cyclical and will continue until we are inevitably wiped out by ourselves or the universe.
These “human rights” were given to you by the current established powers. When those powers change the definition of good and bad do so as well. That was the intended message of my original comment.
It is naive to say “we don’t need to understand why they did it” when, taking your stance here, it’s imperative in preventing the “enemy” from taking away your “freedoms”. But I see it differently, take one of my favorite quotes: “You judge yourself based on your own intentions, and judge everyone else on their actions”. Call it optimistic, but I don’t believe most people intend to cause harm, but make their choices based on their experiences and understanding of the matter.
So, I feel it’s ridiculous to proclaim anyone as enemy, especially withstanding their reasoning. But you do not have to agree with this.

I mean we hunted and fucked neanderthals to extinction just because they looked like us but not exactly like us.
Yeah it’s a nature thing

I don’t see the need for insults.
