During WW2 most all enemies were dehumanized for propaganda purposes as well as the general idea of making it easier to kill ones enemy when perceived as evil personified.




That is not a phenomenon peculiar to WWII.
All the names used for enemies during any conflict, hot or cold, serve that same purpose.
When we realize that they are indeed human instead of nip, kraut, slope, raghead, rooskie, great satan, or whatever it makes it harder take their lives.
The tactic of dehumanizing others is as old as humanity, and I'm afraid will be with us 'til it's all over.

And we have an election coming up, campaigns have already started .
And you, Kevin, have been one of the most fervent for using the tactic of "naming your opponent".
Perhaps you've matured
