    Are normal people still on FB? I thought it would be all conservatives by now. If only conservatives are getting ripped off, then no harm done. I only care if actual humans are being harmed.

      It is not a good idea to dehumanize anyone. Conservatives are human too, they just have different worldviews from yours. Besides, all sorts of people are still on FB, unfortunately.

        Yeah, I really shouldn’t dehumanize the fascists who want me to die in a concentration camp. I should be polite to them and turn the other cheek just as I have been doing for the past 50 years of my life. What could possibly go wrong?

          I also despise the concentration camps and people who like the idea of putting other people there for reasons such as skin color and/or place of birth. I still do not think that it’s a good idea to dehumanize them. They are humans.

          And also people on FB, people who define themselves as conservatives and people who want you to die in a concentration camp are three very different groups of people.

            I appreciate your kindness. I am at war with my enemy. I will not humanize an enemy that will absolutely never humanize me. I won’t expect you to fully understand or to ever participate.

            I strongly suspect you and I have vastly different experiences with my enemy and will choose very different paths in life because of it. I will note your advice and respect you for being a kind person.
