@rob if people justify their behaviour using the reason that animals do it, then it's not us making them out to be animals, it's them justifying their behavior according to what animals do to make the point that it's natural.

@Cal you don't have to reason with your enemy but it would be good if you just used some reason in general. reason leads to strategy, leads to tactics. leads to a whole bunch of decent things that will help you succeed. Passion based warfare is pretty stupid

canibus is not ecspensiwe it is reely iesy to obtayn and is daingerus

GG @AndeB, you just advanced to level 6!

@Sheamus we are all animals, we're talking about 'sub-human' ie that person is less than me, because well, I don't know, but I'm sure they are - it's a pretty low IQ argument

i r brd

I didn't say anything about passion based warfare though. I'm just passionate in my hatred

@rob no we aren't all animals lol, why would you say that then criticise those who do call them animals then?

my enemy has different goals to me (that are not reconcilable with my goals) - this doesn't mean that my enemy is stupid or incapable, and assuming that is how you lose

We're all animals really

It's just our own narcissism that makes us think different

he's trolling, I want to know why you guys thought he might be a decent mod

obvs an idiot

Yes, i am the better option of a mod. I should replace him

Stop bothering me at work @AndeB

sorry

@rob just dehumanize them

No problems there

im being dehumanised

ah awesome you can block the mods everyone

Grendel your arguements does not make any sense

just look at this Anti-German US propaganda poster. its common practice to dehumanize the enemy so that the soldiers can act without conscious

I'm not trying to convince anyone, dehumanization is the way to go

But nooo

nah, the people spewing the sub human stuff are clearly not in it to win it, they are here to divide and weaken the right. decent generals don't disregard their enemies or write them off as sub human. Thats for ethnic cleansers and genocidal groups.

I mean, if you guys are still in high school i understand

@Deleted User this is some of the weakest trolling I've ever seen

@rob but if the soldiers believe it they can kill without feelings getting in the way

putting a label on a group and painting them as satan incarnate is how genocides happen

yes juub

@Nidalap Rorrim if soldiers believe it they may underestimate the enemy and lose battles due to overconfidence etc

terrorism is abhorrent

soldiers are meant to do one thing. follow orders. They don't get to think, thats the General's job. and to a lesser degree the commanding officer of the squad

Remember they fought for "freedom"

violence aimed at civilians to achieve political ends

still terrorism

I'm oversimplifying it a lot but I home you get what i'm saying

chain of command, the lower you are the less your suppose to think

@Nidalap Rorrim the problem with trying to convince your army that the enemy is subhuman is that it doesn't stand up to any kind of intellectual scrutiny, and if your army is not just a bunch of meatheads it will backfire. and no, good armies are not made up of idiots

I understand the chain of command angle

and you have to believe in what you are doing
