"When the only thing stopping you from completely dehumanising someone is your own judgement regarding their privilege level relative to yours, you are not a safe person to be around." [sic]
"'Convince your followers that their Oppressor Class (real or imagined) is less deserving of human rights' is the oldest and most reliable trick in the book ... you're not immune to it because you're a Good Person with Correct Opinions. You will continue to be a potential breeding ground for fascist thought until you stop dehumanizing people in any context ... There can be no acceptable targets."
This comes up a lot these days.
We cannot win the war against fascism by using its patterns of thinking. There is no value whatsoever in merely defeating the fascists. We must defeat #fascism itself, which means not reasoning like fascists.
This is much more difficult than merely defeating the fascists.
