      Nah. They are human. To deny that is to deny that which makes a person stoop so low as to become a CEO (rhyme initially not intended but damnit I’ll still take credit for it)

      Plus, I respect rats too much to demean them like that

      This is dehumanization. It is the tool of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.

      If you dehumanize persons, you aren’t a leftist or revolutionary or the resistance or an activist. You are a fascist.

        You are a fascist.

        whatever. so be it. those persons have lost their humanity. they are doing anything to the detriment of the common people, for the sake of it. we well get nowhere until they can continue what they are doing, guaranteed. no, that’s not even true, we are literally going backwards to the dark ages.

        Ok, I see your point but in a fascist society, what else can you do to stop him? Harsh language? A lawsuit you can’t afford?

          Oh, violence, even lethal violence might be necessary in defense of self or others. But, we must not deny that we are dealing with persons. I’m not even saying don’t dox the guy, I’m saying that don’t forget that you are doxing a person.

          The focus should be on rehabilitating the person and remediating any harm they have caused, not on returning harm with harm. Of course, if they are being violent or legitimately threatening violence, defensive violence SHOULD be taken to contain/control/remove the threat.

          Violating his privacy might be a good lesson in how “we should balance privacy and safety” as part of his rehabilitation, but we can do that without dehumanization.

            Agreed. And as @[email protected] have said, it is important to realise and remain vigilant that humans can be capable of great harm, and that we ourselves are not immune if we’re not carefully with ourselves. Otherwise we might ourselves becomes grown complacent and reproduce those harms on others in some form or another.
