How easy it is to view others who believe and value differently as the enemy.
Flawed humans indeed, but no less human than anyone else.
This is what division causes.
Otherwise we become as calloused and morally repugnant as the “enemy” we dehumanize.
These people have been manipulated and fed propaganda.
Stolen by those leading this cult. Suppressed by indoctrination and peer pressure.
You don’t fight fire with fire, and you don’t fight hate with more hate.
I can’t imagine how hopeless & desperate they must be to embrace an ideology that robs them of what it is to be human: compassion & empathy.
