Ehh, maybe there is something I'm not picking up, but there's plenty of bad things happened to people (and are happening right now) that were not justified by any 'disgusting behavior'. Ethnic cleansing for example - something that happened in my country, I do not think that people who lived somewhere for hundreds of years and killed due to some lofty ideas about the 'nation' really deserved that treatment.
- pessimizer 5y agoI think you shouldn't read "considered disgusting" as "disgusting." If one religion in power starts exterminating a minority religion, that's at least hatred, if not disgust. And if you find yourself defending those minorities based on principle, it isn't because you think they deserved how they were treated.
