every human being is actually something and not someone

no, and this makes no sense

Only some people are something - like Jews during WW2. We call living creatures including people "things", because then it feels more ok to kill them. It lowers the empathy.

they weren't things. treating them like things is part of what made that wrong.

and treating animals like people is also wrong.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

By treating animals like people, do you mean respecting them and not killing them or letting them work as senators?

IMO treating animals like things is definitely wrong, in the same way treating people like things is. Neither of them is a thing, all us animals are alive.

you shouldn't treat animals like smartphones, either. you treat different things differently.
