If you treat them as fundamentally different, you’re not gonna spot it when the same attitudes start appearing within your in-group. Monsters are still human, we all gotta work to keep that in check.
I see a difference between othering based on actions and decisions, displaying solid viewpoints on human empathy or lack thereof, rather than othering based on race, country of origin, religion, sexuality, or other circumstances of identity beyond an individual’s control.
Othering seems like a kinda Nazi thing to do…

It’s what they deserve. Tolerance is a social contract, not a “paradox.” You reject it, you’re not protected by it anymore.
I agree that it’s a contact. But Nazism is a ideology that any human can hold, and that any human can stop holding.
(if they refuse to stop holding it, then go nuts).
I can guarantee you that none of these Nazis would want to give up their beliefs.
How the fuck are you gonna guarantee that?
They’re Americans in ICE. That tells you all you need to know about their characters.
This new brand of prejudice belongs in the bin. Fuck off.
That a large chunk of them are probably doing it primarily because the US economy is trash and they can’t find any other work?

Agree. See my other reply in the thread
