> and not humans making the choice to be Quislings
What is with the obsession with calling people quislings? Have all the nationalists transferred their hyper-patriotism to more socially acceptable targets, instead of just learning not to be like that?
If it's a current trend then, much like with complaining about debanking, it's one that I was years ahead of the curve on. Humans should not blindly follow orders, and that you were following orders from the legitimate authorities does not absolve you of responsibility for your choices.
It's dehumanizing language that encourages violence.
Maybe this is a minor quibble, but Quisling was a person. Thus, drawing parallels between Quisling’s actions and those being characterized is not dehumanizing.

How so?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that businesses shouldn't be regulated.
