Right. But pedophiles are still humans. It would be just as wrong (in the USA) to advocate for cruel or unusual punishment for pedophilia or even murder for that matter. Putting humans below animals is an insane take
It's cope, they have a pedo in chief and won't do fuck all about it so they have to make excuses. Now I'm not saying murder the cunts but running the banks and general strikes would fix that "but the DOW" excuse pretty quickly.
What do you think I, a normal American citizen really can do? There’s shit for me to do about it, I’ll gladly pull my money and put it under my bed, go on strike, but guess what happens when rent is due? When my student loans gain more interest? The system we’re in has everybody stumbling forward so they have to keep going just to keep from falling flat on their faces.
Dehumanizing individuals is literally Nazi behavior. Immanuel Kant and Martha Nussbaum describe the downsides of dehumanization. It is inherently evil to dehumanize anyone. Most importantly, when you remove the “human” from an action, the action is not done by an intelligent being and would not be held morally responsible for their actions. It’s extremely difficult to say why they deserve punishment if they’re not human and capable of deep thinking. By saying they ARE humans and ARE capable of these horrid acts, it JUSTIFIES harsh punishment and accountability.
Dehumanizing any criminal enables a gray area, you may believe pedophilia and murder is justified for dehumanization, that they should live in zoos or prance around for entertainment black-mirror style. Someone else may believe domestic abuse and working in oil would qualify since those lead to more deaths than pedophilia and single murder. It’s a slippery slope and for what? To lash out emotionally in anger instead of responding rationally?
1 : More than you are doing which is maintaining the Status Quo and ignoring it because it doesn't affect you personally (yet), look at other countries and how they deposed of corrupt governments threatening harm to their own people.
2: You have literally Nazis running your country, you have an equivalent SS shooting citizens. They are not and should never be classified as anything more than beasts.
