    This is exactly why I was just saying the other day we shouldn’t be hesitant to say that Nazis are not human. On a technical level they are biological humans, but they lost their humanity on a social level and we should be okay with this.

    Otherwise, this is literally what you get. And when you get this, Nazis kill us.

      This is similar to the dehumanizing logic used by Nazis themselves, and by many totalitarian or genocidal movements throughout history, where the first step is to argue that a group (e.g., Jews, Roma, Slavs, etc.) are “not truly human,” making it easier to justify atrocities against them.
