The same way a nation/group/individual/community of people can believe things like slavery are fine. That treating a human worse than an animal is fine. Or treat animals inhumane bc they are "just" an animal.

Dehumanization, desensitization. People can justify any actions by adding "it's just..." OR by disconnecting themselves from the suffering of those "not like them".

Happens a lot in small and big ways. And it's heartbreaking.

No need to bring up the Democratic Party again, we know what they did and are doing.

I'm speaking on the Human Condition. No political statement being made.
