I don't dehumanize anybody.

In this thread you seem to be, because I'm the only party criticizing it. And if you had read what I wrote that should be pretty clear to you.

I just correctly recognize the threat that bigotry poses to society, especially if allowed to grow and gain power.

Not in this thread. Maybe you generally do, but I don't see any shred of elaboration on that here.

That threat is very much human and we can never allow ourselves to forget that.

Like dehumanizing is a very (negative) human trait. Which I layed out and critisized in detail in my comment you opted not to read after the first line.

Evil tends to be very banal.

As in "Nazis are not humans" or "violence against Nazis is OK"? Spoiler alert: That's dehumanization in action. And that's what I'm criticizing.
