I think they meant that often the out-group is defined as non- or sub-human. So technically they believe all humans are trustworthy, kind and peaceful, just not those in the out-group, but they're not really humans anyway.

Yeah, that was what I was going for. Obviously, I was also exaggerating for the sake of a joke, just like the original meme - just into a different extreme

I think it's a stretch to assume that the average doom-scroller is into nazi ideology - and that's what separating a group as "subhumans" is in fact.

That the world goes to shit and humans are evil is a pretty popular narrative on social media.
