In any sort of war and conflict, there’s always people pointing at parts of the population and being like, “Look at this! Look at how evil and cruel and bigoted these people! Don’t you think they deserve the war? Don’t you think they deserve to die? Isn’t it a good thing that they will cease to exist when their country loses?” And to be quite blunt, I think that’s an extremely dangerous stance to hold in any country that is also filled with bigots.
Which is to say all of them, because humans are kinda assholes who are very good at finding things to hate for no real reason. But people find it much easier to point at that bigotry in other countries and say that it means collective punishment is deserve than to actually face the bigotry in their own homes and try to fix it.
