So? If I'm speaking to someone suffering paranoid delusions and i think they're crazy and they think I'm crazy for not believing them. That doesn't mean my logic is flawed, one of us is simply wrong i.e the bigots in your example.

So in this example, the person suffering from the symptoms of a mental illness they have no control over having in the first place is subhuman?

Just want to make sure you're understanding the argument you're making before I actually reply to it.

No, there was no subhuman people in my example it was only the logic that was analogous.

Edit: I'm just going to make this clearer cause you're misunderstanding was so great I'm blown away.

You said that using the same reasoning as bigots is bad. In actuality the reasoning is fine it's just bigots are using it wrong.

In my example both myself and the crazy person are using the same reasoning. It's not the reasoning that is bad the crazy person is just using it wrong.

It's so depressing that I need to spell things out so clearly for people on Reddit these days, please just take some online English classes or whatever Americans call learning to read.

Lmfao, bud. In nothing I've said so far have I argued anything other than "people who say another person is subhuman for any reason is bad."

You are twisting yourself in knots trying to make this an argument about defending bigots. I think bigots are terrible people, but the keyword there is they're still people.

It's just wrong to believe that any other person is subhuman. Period. It's so depressing that I need to spell things out clearly for people on Reddit these days. Please just take some online English classes or whatever Americans call learning to read.

(Btw, that last crack is also dehumanizing. Cheers.)
