      Holy shit, what the fuck is wrong with the poster?

      “LOL The bitch died!”

      Like, why would you fucking “lol” at someone’s death? Especially a civilian?

      This is the problem with war. The people of the enemy nation often become sub-human to the other side. War dehumanizes.

        Someone that volunteers to actively support a war of aggression is really pushing the boundary of “civilian”.

          Maybe. But I find the attitude of the person in the tweets towards this event quite disturbing.

            Yeah, I really can’t get with the dehumanization side of war propaganda. Except for Putin, that dude deserves a fiery death.

              Agree. He’s the only sub human piece of shit that deserve suffering until the arrival of a very slow death.

        Dehumanizing the enemy and creating the “other” is an important tool for normalizing killing other people who are there because they were ordered to come kill you. The “orcs of mordor” concept was a strong example of this.

        Oh shit, I’m posting on NonCredibleDefense, my bad, guys. Also boobies.

        We saw this grow during the duration of WW1. This first Xmas (when everyone thought it would be over by then). English and German troops met in no man’s land with an informal truce to bury their dead, exchange greetings, and play a little football.

        Once the generals heard of this they banned all events like this from ever happening again. It’s hard to fight against someone you find are much like you. The Nazis in the second War were masters of dehumanizing not only the Jews but the Russians too. They didn’t treat the English and the Americans the same way for the most part.

        Eventually when one has been at war long enough most of our humanity is lost. How else does one cope with such horror and depravity that comes with war?
