The book Unhumans, by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, is a fascist manifesto. It argues that the “Great Men of History” should take their cues from homicidal dictators like Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco, reject reason and democracy, and ruthlessly annihilate the gangs of communist “unhumans” who are currently threatening to destroy the United States. It explicitly advocates “eye for an eye” justice, promising a new McCarthyism complete with blacklists, along with the immediate banning of all teachers’ unions. It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up. (I say this as someone who has read Mein Kampf.) And it comes with a warm and supportive blurb from Ohio senator J.D. Vance, who is currently the Republican party’s vice presidential nominee.

    There is nothing wrong with not being human. The problem here is people like Vance then think it gives them the right to do whatever they like to us.

    Just because some{one/many} isn’t human doesn’t mean they do not deserve rights, autonomy, respect and life.

    This is what these discussions always seem to fail to consider, so we thought we should point it out.

    Of course people who identify as human should not be stripped of that label for other reasons, but for those who don’t… well, we deserve just as many rights as those who do.

    Human supremacy is just as awful as any other supremacy.

        Okay. Given that then your original comment seems to imply people like Vance and/or the writers should not be considered human (or should be considered Jewish or others nazis didn’t like and thus less than human according to the nazis), and that being considered ‘unhuman’ is bad.

        Unless you meant to imply that the book should be considered only for those that are ‘unhuman’ (or Jewish etc, if Vance and the writers are Jewish or other things the nazis didn’t like) which seems odd for a book explicitly against them?

        We’re not exactly sure what other things your comment would be driving at.

        This isn’t a criticism per se, we just don’t understand your point.
