When people tell me that one should not degrade and objectify people. True. But you cannot objectify and degrade people who haven't objectified and degraded themselves in the first place. By equating combatants and civilians, e.g., like the Russians do, like Hamas, like Iran does. They already degraded themselves and made themselves a tool of their perverted sense of metaphysical grandeur and spiritual meaning. I cannot objectify and degrade such people as much as they already did to themselves. In fact, they are proud of being capable of that. So, no. I cannot objectify or degrade someone who hasn't already objectified and degraded himself first. Still, and that is equally true, there is the duty of not objectifying others, of not degrading them. But this connection between both acts, that usually slips people's attention. From here stems all the pain: What the enemy succeeded in turning you into.
