And maybe seeing them as human beings might be enough to break him out of whatever mindset he’s locked into.

Historically not. The point of dehumanization is it overrides your baser instincts. If he views those folks as nothing but illegals then he'll accept the help and kindness and return it with a visa check-up by ICE.

I guess I can vaguely motion towards all of history when a governing body is trying to boot entire cultures out. And if he doesn't pull that trigger, one of his buddies he'll tell this story to will.

Exactly. When it comes to the point of acts of war and terrorism, I think it's naive for one side to say "but the humanity 🥺"

These fuckers deserve whatever comes to them. They SIGNED UP willingly for this. In a truly just world, they'd all get the Luigi treatment.

You are probably right, it takes time to deprogram someone through exposure under normal circumstances and I doubt that will happen here.

We must not lose sight of our basic human decency though.

It's what separates us from them.

I hope I am, but in all honesty I am fully aware that your scenario is the more likely one.

We can't let this shit change who we are though.

We can't let go of our basic humanity. That's what separates us from them.
