If you strip away everything that has made them an individual, yes you're right. But I think that just highlights that your argument is a pointless distinction.
If you swapped me out at birth with a Nazi general, there's a good chance I'd be driven down the same life path.
Likewise this means you have to accept that there are many people, due to their upbringing and the principles they've adopted in life, that wouldn't destroy a corner shop for no reason. That wouldn't assault a woman trying to protect her place of work.
First of all that was just a "nuh uh." But,
No human chose how to be brought into the world. Your argument is not substantive.
Empathy is the path forward. Othering outgroups is not. We have plenty of research to back this up.
Well if your rebuttal is simply determinism then I think you'll find that nobody's arguments can possibly contain any substance.
Agreed.
Nobody has been othered. In fact using it in this way dilutes the word as its simply rhetoric intended to censor discussion behind a purity test.
