I won't argue that, but there are cultures out there that disagree - so how can it be universal?

I see lots of people getting hung up on the word "universally" so maybe that was the wrong choice (and also the least relevant part of my sentence but whatever).

I should have just said "wrong", plain and simple.

What "culture" says it's okay to treat humans as if they are animals?

[ModernMech]

MAGA culture. Often frames people they don't like as "vermin", and it sets up a permission structure to cause violence against them by labeling them as diseased or inherently criminal.

Whoever it is you think is out there doing it and promoting it. That's why we have phrases like "a culture of harassment", "a culture if lies", etc.

The point is things that appear as universal absolutes are not the same for everyone.
