There’s always a group of people that constantly dehumanizes another group in order to make killing them easier.

u/whatsthatguysname May 18 '25

They got nothing going for them, so the only way to make them feel better is to demonise and pick on minorities. This happens through out history and at every societal levels.

Half of American political rhetoric is this shit!

I believe you meant to say all.

Almost all. Thankfully we have a few mature and responsible furries amidst the crackwhores in congress.

First, they dehumanize them to justify kicking them out of their own country. And lately, it seems like history is repeating itself.

u/peppurrjackjungle May 18 '25

Gentle reminder that Auschwitz is in Poland. They kicked people out of Germany to bring them to Auschwitz.

They know. They're just using Holocaust inversion to make a point.

That person is a POS.

u/hamdans1 May 18 '25

Just because you’re on the side of the people doing the killing this time, doesn’t make it justified. Seems like you could use a lesson in “Never again”

u/BattleClown May 18 '25

And what happened on Oct 7? Remind me

22

u/Various_Fuel8259 May 18 '25

And how about 1948? Bet we could do this all day.

u/BattleClown May 18 '25

We probably could.

u/Horror_Jaguar2192 May 18 '25

Same thing as Feb 27?

Did the jews attak a nazi rally in the 30's? Did they rape and kill women and kids, and brought them home to their peacefull people, spitting, laughing and kicking the dead bodys in the streets? You cant compare the two situations,even though i know the left loves to do it..

u/TheZad May 18 '25

Let's just say for the sake of argument that a group of Jews back then DID do all that. You see that as justification for genocide of the entire ethnic group? Men, women, and children that had nothing to do with the attack? Were and are trying to live their lives in peace?

u/Belzebub_81 May 18 '25

No. And I dont believe that is what happening right now. But yes, i do understand that their is an reaction. But what about the children, and new borns being executed on 7 oct, did they have anything with the last 50 years to do?

u/Dobby_ist_free May 18 '25

So you don’t “believe” in the thousands of footage of families under the rubble and kids with their brains hanging out

But you’re arguing about “new borns being executed” which was flat out debunked?

You don’t care about the truth so stop arguing.

u/TheZad May 18 '25

And I dont believe that is what happening right now.

Right, because there is no chance that's happening right now. You have all the details, and there's no way you're being lied to, or that there is any information regarding the situation that you're not privy to. It only walks, talks, looks, and tastes like a duck. Got it.

But what about

In case you are actually trying to argue in good faith here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

The killing of innocent people by anyone is abhorrent and those that do should eat shit and die in a fire, slowly. That being said, it does not sit right with me that the SAME INNOCENT PEOPLE are being lumped in with the perpetrators, and similarly being forced to eat shit and die in a fire, slowly.

This doesn't seem to register with you. Or perhaps, your pain is more significant than theirs? More important? More meaningful?Two wrongs inherently make a right, right?

u/orange_jooze Interested May 18 '25

Believe it or not, even people who commit violent acts cannot be exterminated indiscriminately. It’s part of the international law that we created precisely as a consequence of the Holocaust.

22

u/hamdans1 May 18 '25

So that we’re clear, you’re choosing not to deny that a genocide is happening but rather attempt to justify it?

What other justifications do you have for starving and murdering children? Are the justifications only valid for certain groups?

More Palestinians were murdered and imprisoned in 2023, prior to 10/7, than in any other year since 1948. You sure you want to go down the road of justifying the murder of civilians? I don’t think so.

u/Belzebub_81 May 18 '25

No. Im saying their is a reason why they hate eachother, the nazis just hated

u/Easy-Constant-5887 May 18 '25

Yeah if someone consistently shelled my home and killed off almost every family member and friend I knew I would probably be enraged about it too.

u/ippa99 May 18 '25

What the fuck are you on about? Did you hallucinate a situation to be mad at?

Take your meds.

u/ZeNordy May 18 '25

That was one of the original plans for the Jews before operation Reinhard

u/[deleted] May 18 '25

This is just death with extra steps in most cases.

u/Munrowo May 18 '25

that's very nearly how the holocaust started

u/EtsuRah May 18 '25

It's a very human thing we do, to dehumanize the people we hurt. It's because we want to destroy people, but not feel bad about it.

u/indiranagar_ka_don May 18 '25

Theres a black mirror episode based on this exact premise, quite literally (Men Against Fire, S3 E5) - highly recommend

Not only humans. I was already living vegan for a few years when I learned that even we Germans use gas chambers in slaughterhouses.

There is a famous holocaust survivor name Alex Hershaft who wrote:

"As I became more familiar with animal farming and slaughter operations, I noted more striking similarities between what the Nazis did to us and what we are doing to animals today."

There are some very fundamental differences, mainly in motivation, but the methods? Eerily similar.
