When it has been demonstrated over and over again, how little they think of anyone beneath them.

    It’s not an atrocity if they mean to oppress you I am describing their behavior and choices and those who commit commit atrocity also use punctuation eat pancakes etc so whos the real monster here

    I do not in fact need to do that there are plenty of spectacularly shitty people even if I do not subscribe to the concept of evil per se but a person is a kind of thing the word has a meaning and as i believe in nonhuman persons that word is not a synonym for biologically human and feel like by using dehumanizing language I am only describing their behavior as many of them are proud of their distance from us and revel in inhumanity and when trying to speak to you my intuitive sense of audience has me using human as a synonym for person which is real fucked up for reasons Ill elaborate on

    A whale or elephant or octopus or corvid is probably a person and a human can with great effort scour the personhood from itself just as it may nurture and develop the properties that comprise personhood in itself others and the world

    If you want to be a moral coward feel free to not think about any of this feel free to keep your imagining of personhood a coincidence or some inborn essentialist entitlement which honestly sounds creepy and supremacist as you completely refrain from developing those things into more of what they could be which now that I’m saying it makes you sound like a total fucking reactionary but remember that only one of us used punctuation here like a genocidal piece of shit so maybe you are not in the best position to judge and I hope this was as fucking annoying to read as your reflexive unconsidered reactionary outburst of slave morality scolding

    As an edit or addendum or whatever Dehumanization is a tool of violence yes and distrust yes and exclusion yes and these monsters who have declared themselves the enemies of the very concepts of society of freedom of humanity who have both claimed the results of dehumanization as their crowns and proven more than any other but their ilk from ancient times that they deserve it are I feel fair game because they cannot be negotiated with appealed to on moral grounds or swayed to the better with art because they are apart from us and have declared their needs and futures directly counter to ours so much that they will damage their own interests on purpose if the act damages ours at least as much to the point I would genuinely believe the lack of action on climate change is a deliberate retreat to bunker fantasies how in what way are these fucks still meaningfully persons when even their imagination and comprehension is broken they do not have a single original idea or critical thought between them every tech dystopian bullshit thing you’ve seen is just a fucked up idiots understanding of a 20th century science fiction novel for fucks sake Facebook is literally just the snow crash company zuckerberg hasnt even read a second god damn book since 1994 so please for the love of fuck tell me what personhood is in a way that isn’t human chauvanist essentialist woo or completely trivial and how these monsters have a shred of it but my x86 computer from 2011 doesnt
