Dehumanising rhetoric is disgusting regardless of whoever it's targeted at.
Stop it. It makes you worse than anyone you criticise.
It's not dehumanizing rhetoric, it's a dehumanizing act. Rape is animalistic and if an animal was roaming a neighborhood raping people it would be killed because it's an unacceptable public danger. Humans are animals and the only reason we think better of ourselves is because of upheld social contracts, break that contract in such a way as rape then you void your "humanity".
There is no such thing.
And the next step is for government to redefine what "breaks that contract", thereby dehumanising whoever they like.
You're just looking for an excuse to jerk off your violence boner.
You think words can be dehumanizing but not actions?
Fuck out of here with that bullshit, if somebody does something as dehumanizing as rape or slavery or anything like that then once due process is served they should lose all rights, period. Absolutely unacceptable behavior and it's fucking disgusting how often people defend it.
No, I think dehumanisation is a verb, it's something someone does to another person. It's something you're doing, but you justify it when it's something your victim also does. But that makes you no better than them - you're both engaging in dehumanisation. The act is abhorrent no matter the excuse. And yet, you defend it, because you think your feelings are exceptional.
Me saying rapists deserve no rights beyond a court trial is as abhorrent as raping a person...do you even know what you are saying or are you really that fucked in the head?
Edit: you also realize my original comment was only offering a harsh punishment because of the parent comment for this whole chain right? Sending your own people who raped refugees you've taken in to wherever the refugee came from is fucking insane, that's some full blown maga shit.
No.
