I don’t think Nazis demonstrate that trait
Actually they did. Calling anyone living today a Nazi is wrong to begin with. Nazi was the nickname for NSDAP members. The S there is for Sozialistisch (social) and was not just a hollow word in their name. They did alot for unemployed people and massively increased social welfare programs (though, obviously, not everyone profited from that). People seem to forget, that the Nazis were legally elected in 1933; And that was not because everyone hated Jews (many did, though). They were humans, and they were idealists. Despicible horrid ideals, but still. And they used those ideals to rationalize dehumanizing others. Your thought process, even if your ideals are opposing, is not that unsimilar to theirs.
People like to reduce their motives to racial bias, which is wrong. They incorporated race theory (originating from the USA, btw) but the antisemitism was the intensification and aggravation of a deeply rooted and centuries old Christian antisemitism and thus very much cultural and political and not based on traits people were born with.
But hey, if you think dehumanizing groups of humans is fine if it is done for the right reasons, be my guest. After all, everybody does it: Russians dehumanizing Ukranians and the other way around, back in the day the Nazis dehumanizing Jews, American farmers the black people, Turkey the Kurds, …, and you everyone who’s right of you and who you label a Nazi. What you all have in commen is, that you think you’re doing it for the right reasons.

I appreciate that you started off your post with the stupidest possible thing you could say so that everybody knows they don’t need to waste time reading the rest.
You might want to look up the term neo-Nazi and learn why there is a distinction between it and the term Nazi. Your display of ignorance is indicative of that you really should read my “post” (it’s a comment) in its entirety.
I don’t dehumanize anybody. I just correctly recognize the threat that bigotry poses to society, especially if allowed to grow and gain power. That threat is very much human and we can never allow ourselves to forget that. Evil tends to be very banal.
In this thread you seem to be, because I’m the only party criticizing it. And if you had read what I wrote that should be pretty clear to you.

Not in this thread. Maybe you generally do, but I don’t see any shred of elaboration on that here.

Like dehumanizing is a very (negative) human trait. Which I layed out and critisized in detail in my comment you opted not to read after the first line.

As in “Nazis are not humans” or “violence against Nazis is OK”? Spoiler alert: That’s dehumanization in action. And that’s what I’m criticizing.
Oh damn you fucking got him. You got him so damn good. Print that out and frame it, this is obviously the peak of your existence. Sorry mate, all downhill from here.

Nazi colloquially includes neonazi. You’re being incredibly weird about this.
You seem to be part of the people who weirdly rationalize dehumanizing humans and on top of that water down language beyond usability.

Good job using the bullshit “Nazis are socialists” lie, that way it’s easy to ignore you.
