Agreed. The worst people in history were all still very much human. They had internal complexity that caused them to live the lives they lived and make the mistakes they did. And those humans were terrible people whose deaths deserve celebration, because they’re shining examples of which parts of humanity we should strive to avoid emulating.
i mean while i agree, i don’t want to get into the habit of dehumanizing people (even if it feels fair play for any given specific person).
Why should we humanize people who were literally fascists who dehumanized others?
who said we had to do that? i just don’t like dehumanizing.

It took a whole fucking lot of dehumanization to defeat the actual historical Nazis.
