        You’ve clearly stated your belief in there being a point at which you will no longer treat another human being as a human. The only difference is where you believe that point to be.

          Of course there is a point where you can no longer afford to treat some other person as human. That’s the entire point behind descriptors such as “inhumane acts” - that someone who commits them can no longer be safely given those allowances. I’m no saint, nor do I pretend to be one. I live in a real world, where if you grant bad people far too many allowances, they’ll eventually stab you in the front, if they haven’t already stabbed you in the back.

      Not the OP you replied to, but I would say approximately 1 second after genocide. Anyone who kills people based on physical attributes like skin color, hair type, facial structure, what languages they speak, what they worship, who they love, or where they were born has forsaken humanity.
