    Even the worst human is still a human. You can’t blame a person for lamenting the loss of a human life without losing your own humanity, in my opinion. Empathy saves lives.

      Don’t be so naive. “Empathy saves lives”? You’d say that out loud to one of the innumerable Russian “soldiers” responsible for those vile crimes as they tried to do the same to you? That’s what you’d tell your rapist/murderer in that moment of sheer panic and terror? Are you fucking serious?

      Oh. No? Hunh. Seems pretty easy to have such a rosy perspective when it’s so distant from your own safe little life. Go figure.

      No, you can’t rape, torture, and murder without losing your own humanity. Humanizing monsters hurts the victims.
