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

Soldiers really only want an excuse to kill

no You only want an excuse to kill

soldiers have many reasons for being there

the subhuman thing is probably where we are talking past each other. I'm saying labeling the enemy as "pure evil" or such names is what makes it easier for the soldier to pull the trigger.

That's what I'm saying

It's easier for everyone

great empires integrate their conquered foes

alexander the great, not the average

if they use the subhuman argument doesn't mean they cant kill you. The US army uses the same thing in Iraq and Afgan
