    Well for me humans need to have morality, compassion, they need to care for others, the bourgeoisie don’t do that, so they aren’t humans for me

      So you are failing your own morality test, and handwaving it away.

      How convenient.

      I thought history was quite clear, time and time again, it has been shown that once you declare a group of persons as “subhuman” bad shit start happening.

        How can you opress and exploit BILLIONS of workers and not want bad shit to happen to you?

          The biggest failure in stopping evil is realizing it’s plain old humans that create evil.

          So target your vitriol at the people exploiting. A teenager has not even had the opportunity to do that yet if they wanted to.

            You’ve decided that there’s something about these people that makes them less than human. That they’re “other” in some meaningful way, which means you assume some fundamental difference between you and them that allows them to commit evil, and that means you can or do not.

            But that’s Harry Potter innate morality bullshit, dehumanizing people is pretty fucking evil.

              What are you talking about?

              I have been arguing against calling anyone “subhuman”.

              In my last comment I was just confused as to what the person I replied to wanted to say.
