I'm perfectly ok with dehumanizing literal flag waving Nazis. I give them no quarter. If a Nazi fell into the train tracks in front of me, I would just walk away.

are you saying all wealthy people are nazis? that's about the only way that I can see to read that statement (combined with the comment you are responding to)

Indeed, the dehumanizing is always associated with collectivism vs individualism, and thence to collective guilt, and collective punishment.

All done with moral self-justification.

That's because it's morally justified to prioritize the needs of many over the needs of a few.
