Nazis and other fascists are inhumane. They do monstrous, irredeemable things. And they are still human beings. Saying otherwise reduces us to their level of thinking - that “the other” is inhuman. Show humanity, even to those who don’t deserve it.

Fair to call out fascism where it exists. But even facts can be weaponized to divide, rather than repair. The point isn’t to avoid accountability. It’s to stay human while we hold the line.

That’s part of the challenge, isn’t it? When we label others as irredeemable, we risk becoming what we claim to oppose. I’m not saying don’t confront harm, just that healing won’t come from dehumanizing, even when we feel justified.

It begins by remembering we’re all of us still human, and that beneath the noise and cynicism, most of us want the same things: safety, meaning, connection, and the right to live without being ground down.
So let’s start there.

The wound is real. It runs deep. But the healing doesn’t begin by demanding perfection. It begins by demanding accountability regardless of bias.

We need a new story. One that sees through the illusion of Left vs. Right and focuses on Human vs. Machine.

Change doesn’t come from blaming. It comes from building. From listening. From waking up to the stories we’ve been fed, and writing new ones.

We need to stop dehumanizing people outside the system who don’t think like we do - whether they come from across a border, a red state, a blue state, wear a colored hat, or pray in a mosque, church, or synagogue.

We vote based on fear. We consume based on dopamine. We ignore nuance for outrage. We want simple answers in a complex world. And the machine gives us the simple answers we ask for because that’s what it runs on.
