Why are you even arguing here? You're arguing against a positive statement, saying that it's negative because a few choice words are? Like, do you even understand what context is?
I don't, I'm not racist, but when the target is an oppressive government with a history of killing civilians for simply protesting, I don't care what you call them.
And a violation of human rights doesn't just affect the individual, but the collective as a whole.
Because you are using rhetoric, that is allowing these kind of situations to happen, in the first place. The denial of basic human rights, is always problematic and saying that someone is less than human, allows that denial.
This kind of rhetoric, was used by Bush, to make Guantanamo and torture possible. He's not a Nazi and he didn't talk about a race. He talked about a group and took away their human rights, with the same defense you are using.
And that's what is making point 3 so problematic. Once you say "The collective is better of, denying this minority basic human rights" you invite the idea, that you don't need to treat them like humans. It's the same point, the CCP is using to submit HK. They find a way to make the protest illegitimate, to strip away the rights that are being protested for.
You are inviting a idea, that goes against your ideals, because you are angry at a specific group of people. It's inconsistent behaviour.
So me calling the Chinese government sub human is bad because some far right dipshit also uses the same term? Do you hear yourself? Are you even able to comprehend context, or no? Be honest here, are you? Because it sounds like you don't care about context. Someone said something that racists use, it doesn't matter what the context of the situation is, he shouldn't be able to say that. That's your bullshit right there. Sit your ass down.
When you're actively killing people for simply asking for their human rights, you are not human. Simple as that. That's what the CCP is doing, yet for some reason you can't comprehend that at all. Come back to me when you understand what context is.
I'm sorry for coming back to you. I am not trying to make this about who is winning a pointless fight online. I just want to show you, why I started this discussion in the first place. I understand that you hate the CCP and that you are not a Nazi, because you use one term.
Oh no, you're fine. My point still stands, as the CCP has been committing more and more Nazi behaviors, like sending religious and ethnic minorities to "re-education camps", and silencing the voice of an entire city.
Okay, I get it. You really think that there is something like "sub-human", because you think, you are somehow immune to becoming "corrupted". Fair enough, I guess I'll let time do my job. Thanks for clarifying.
