Farmers care deeply about their animals ✅
Holocaust victims were treated “like nothing more than animals” ✅
Meaning the operators of concentration/death camps cared deeply about their victims I guess

/uj It deeply annoys me when human atrocity historians say "treated like animals," because it suggests that, for some reason, humans feel the need to have some group at the bottom. Once it was no longer socially acceptable in many places to do it with groups of humans, they simply used non-human animals. But in truth, the level of cruelty in past human atrocities and current animal atrocities, like factory farming and animal testing, is not about treating people as animals; it's about treating living beings as inanimate objects. Someday, I hope that we will see this as a category error. You don't explain the horror of oppression of one group of sentient beings by comparing it with a current atrocity in a way that suggests the current harm is non-negotiable and fixed. As history proves, cruelty is NEVER fixed.

Ummmm you can't just analyze the gas chamber as a tool of mass death and situate it within the larger historical context of European imperialism. That's so insensitive bro.
Just because the gas chamber was invented to kill animals at the height of British imperialism doesn't mean there's any connection between attitudes towards animals and the oppressed people who were later murdered with the same technology. We all know imperial powers never referred to any minority groups as "animals" or "vermin" in order to dehumanize them.

Uhm aykchually we the much superior French, Charles Leclerc to be precise, invented gas chambers a century before that, to stop an inferior species (haitian slaves) from ruling themselves.

I read that but it appears there is some dispute because it's based on like, one guy's book about Napoleon? In any case those were hulls of ships with volcanic Sulphur in them, not industrialized machines the way Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson's gas chamber was.

Well yeah it was more traditional and family-owned, rather than the soulless industrial gas chambers, I agree that those need to go. But this doesn't mean we need to ban gas chambers altogether!
