They are human. Hatred and cruelty is part of who we as humans are. The better among us are supposed to keep the monsters in check. We failed.
i mean sure in meatspace terms they are physically human but they have done irreparable harm to their internal humanity by supporting this ideology. It’s not just that I “disagree” with fascism (and capitalism and nazism and zionism, among other things) but it’s that there are provable choices these cohorts have made that have done far more harm, even to themselves, than ever imaginable.
History is a constant and never ending litany of such "failure", and we NEVER learn. What's your backup plan?
You're right, it's inevitable. The fascist US will be looked back on with disdain as fascist Germany is, there will be reforms to be better, then in a few generations someone will do this shit all over again (assuming we don't kill ourselves off with nuclear war and/or climate change). All you can do is be the best person you can for those around you.
Indeed, they are human, and possibly under the right (wrong) circumstances some of us would exhibit some of the same traits. But we're at a point that for us to keep being human for a while longer, they have to stop being human forever.
They are human shaped, but they are lacking something important...a soul, or something....
There is no final check on monstrosity. You failed. Accepting your personal limits is healthy. However, there is still plenty of we's attempting to check the monsters.
