    How on earth do you make the leap from “suppress them if necessary” to “dehumanize”? Most imwise.

        or OP is straight up fucking wrong depending on what they mean by, “dehumanizing”.

            Look, I get it, you’re one of the standard issue online leftists who saw that one retarded comic strip about Popper and think that justifies your resentful desire to punch a nazi or whatever. The whole motte and bailey of “well umm actually by dehumanize I just mean detaining violent ideologues who refuse to engage in argument, and I guess maybe also shooting Charlie Kirk for expressing opinions different to my own cause words are violence or whatever” is incredibly tiresome. If you had ever read The Open Society and its Enemies (or anything beyond forum posts and microblogs) you would know that you are that irrational, violent voice that cannot be tolerated according to Popper.
