CO isn't really the nuisance part of diesel anyhow, it's NOX that's the concern there.

I love that our solution to NOX has been to inject high pressure piss mist into diesel exhaust.

If the CHUD's entire point of view is heavily based in exceptionalism, it is only equitable to make an exception for them on this point.

(Also in the movie the CHUDs were all people without homes forced to seek shelter in the subways and tunnels beneath a city where they were subjected to horrific mutations due to a corporation just dumping random radioactive toxic goo and the government colluded with the corporation to allow it and cover it up so, you know, irony. Maybe we should just call them chumps instead? Cannibalistic Hateful Ulterior of the Mass Political Spectacle, if it has to be an acronym. C.H.U.M.P.S.)

If its only decorum, then its not inherent. If I understand PeterCat's position, the inheritance has nothing to do with etiquette, but with belief and espousal. Belief in whether some humans are beneath common human dignity and the act of espousing those belief in order to convince others that there exists a class of subhuman.

One can violate the first component and therefore commit what is claimed by the previous poster to be an immoral act and still be within the bounds of decorum because the violation is that of belief. While treating other people as human is the common etiquette, you can violate the second half, espousal without breaching etiquette, as evidenced by, you know, all of American history.

Based on this, the issue is separate from that one decorum. The issue is of belief in the subhuman and in convincing others to treat others as subhuman.

I dont expect you to agree with that--based on your statements, I expect that you believe that transgressions make someone worthy or not of being treated as a human and that the moral failings of the "chuds" to earn them this unworthy role is that they did not properly assess who to dehumanize, not the act in general. Is that correct?

That's exactly it. I think someone can forfeit their humanity through their choices and actions. People who spit on equal rights and democracy can reasonably and morally be called chuds or pigs, depending on whether they have a badge or not, because they can always choose to be decent people and have decided to forfeit that option for the whole oppression thing. But calling someone an animal because of the circumstances of their birth is immoral dehumanization.

I dont know what a Darrell Davis job is, but, in theory, I dont really take moral qualms with being mean to people who are mean to others as long as it there are appropriate brakes before causing undue harm and its applied to those who have demonstrated the behavior, not those that belong to a clade of individuals similar to others. I suspect many people aren't concerned with being terribly rigorous with the second of my qualifications and I worry if caught in the wrong situation, they'll be normalized to not worry about the first.

From a practical argument though I dont think the tactic is effective. It best serves to create an isolated and damaged class who finds their socially enforced position justified whenever they try to interact with "the other".

Because they're forever tied to that other group based on their birth location and rearing, along with all of their social connections, those people have to completely isolated during a pivotal period in their life to be extracted. The socioeconomic means of that extraction, moving from rural area to the city for economic, social, or educational reasons in small groups, or personal deep review of literature independent of social group, will not outstrip the the recruitment rate. Especially since there's power in playing them against that "other".

It's a recipe for continuous conflict or continued friction within the political system and a schism thats geographically messy and very dangerous.

But calling someone an animal because of the circumstances of their birth is immoral dehumanization.

Where I see the moral risk here first is that one will make that assessment without sufficient data for many people fairly easily. I.e. all of those people are x, because they are very similar to the y who clearly wronged me. Things become fuzzy when you're defininf groups of real people and not dealing with famous ones with well established records or hypotheticals. One is likely to put people in that category based on unproven connections. This is part of the path that got them there to begin with, and so that path is demonstrably fraught.

The second moral issue to consider is that, based on location, economic backgrounds, social structures, quality of schools and curriculum, the supporters of those who have been demonstrated as meeting your sufficient conditions did not choose the circumstances of their birth that led to their beliefs, erroneous or not. So if you conflate the demagogues and their supporters, you may very well assign this value to individuals who are at fault for listening to nearly every authority figure, loved one, and peer in their early lives instead of having a rebellious streak and finding the right corner of the internet or were sufficiently antisocial enough to arrive at conclusions in opposition to these influences through other means of personal exploration. This is not dissimilar to blaming someone for the circumstances of their birth.

I dont know who you refer to when you define your groups of course, but I think its very easy to cross into the other. I think this is the moral justification some will use to say that its never moral to think of people like that--because of how easy it is to stray off the cleanly defined, "morally justified" range of derision.

I totally understand, but when a black man ends up with a Klan members robe...it feels like the greatest victory of all. I just...I dunno maybe it’s being Jewish and a lawyer and traditionally being regarded as weak in the American political system (barring Meyer Lansky) that a man who broke a Klan members defense makes him the greatest hero of all. Maybe not the most effective, but still the ultimate victory of wits. I should add that this assumes the person hasn’t done something repulsive and vile.

Daryl Davis convinced klan members to give up the Klan and got to keep their robes. Something about that owns so loving hard.

You are basically writing out my thoughts.

My conclusions have been that anyone in that class is not worth compromising my principles for and I do the best to avoid it. I also work with a lot of Trump supporters and Republicans and can't just ignore them. I have to build a level of trust to be effective as a leader and manager and attach importance to their well being and believe in them as people because of this. Finally, I need to set an example for those around me to follow and push standards to be upheld.

Hypocrisy is a sin here so working through stuff this stuff here helps. There are perfectly valid reasons to believe differently and I was debating the other side as well.. Thanks guys.
