It’s exactly this rhetoric that demonizes and dehumanizes the other that got us here.

Humans can be misguided and become really really shitty people. But labeling anyone evil is just lazy and won’t help make anything better. It just fuels the fire of this downward spiral.

At least that’s my thoughts.

I kinda agree that the label puts fuel on the fire, but it really is impossible to ignore at this point, the sheer amount of people with no heart or empathy in contrast with my own naivety of the goodness of humans. Great environment for nihilism and depression.

Yeh I’m with you. We might well be past the point where people can still come together. I also feel quite discouraged that things have escalated to this. But I’m still trying to keep a few of my principles and a bit of my humanity. I don’t believe there’s evil, its a term for scaring children or riling up people against each other in contexts like religion or other groups. It’s just circumstances and humans who are not fit to deal with them in a healthy way.
