    No, even Nazis are people. They may be horrible people whose hateful ideology needs to be forcefully purged from society, but they are still people.

    Do you know how otherwise same people turn out just as bad as Nazis? It starts by dehumanizing their opponents.

    (That’s not necessarily a statement in favor of the Reddit action, that was likely done by a bot anyway so no humans were involved.)

      Recognizing that Nazis are people is necessary in order to understand how people become Nazis. Understanding how people become Nazis is necessary in order to fight Nazis.

      I agree. Human rights and dignity are not negotiable. Not for mass murderers, rapists, Nazis, or Jeff Bezos. Not for anyone. Disagree, oppose, undermine, fight, but do not ever dehumanise.
