Do you agree with this quote?

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

No, partly because the wording implies that Nazis aren't people, which would be awfully convenient if it were true.

Also, the customary format here for this type of poll is "Opinion of quote" with "FQ" and "HQ" as the options.

Nazis aren't people.

I really dislike statements like these.

Dehumanizing Nazis deprives them of their agency. And if they have no agency then they cannot be held to our standards of morality.

The Nazis were people. Most of them were otherwise ordinary people. And they did unfathomably evil things. They were sick, twisted individuals who had evil lurking in their hearts. But they were still human.

I don't say that as a defense, but as a warning. To deny the humanity of the Nazis is to downplay how easily something like the Holocaust could happen again.

Treating Nazis as some aberration or some defect isn't going to help us learn from the mistakes that lead to the Holocaust.

Nazis thought Jews weren't people so as a Jewish person I think likewise of the Nazis.
