"Subhuman"(german: untermenschen) is a term from Nazi racial ideology. Derived from 19th century racial theory, Nazi ideology held that the German nation, as Herrenvolk, had a right to rule over the world and that Germanic peoples were, as the master race (Herrenrasse), superior to other European peoples (such as Slavic peoples and Romanic peoples) and that all other peoples represented lesser races of varying degrees. Groups regarded as SUBHUMAN (Untermenschen) included inferior racial element (such as Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Altaic peoples or Africans) and asocial element (such as the mentally or physically disabled and homosexuals, but also criminals and prostitutes, beggars and tramps, leftists, liberals and political dissidents, Jehovah's Witnesses and so-called morally degenerates). Generally people who worked against the Third Reich or who were breaking its laws were regarded as Untermenschen. The term was borrowed from older 19th century sources.
SUBHUMAN is also a famous very politcal anarcho punk band (see also CRASS) in the 70s and 80s.

Get the subhumans mug.Probably one of the greatest anarcho punk bands ever. Their singer has one of the most distinct voices in punk. See Citizen Fish.

Get the Subhumans mug.Severely underrated Anarcho-Punk band formed in the UK in the 1980s. Their singer, Dick Lucas, had a voice similar to Steve Ignorant from Crass. He wrote extremely intelligent, politically charged lyrics, and as a result are sometimes referred to as the DK of the United Kingdom. Bruce was one of the better guitarists in all of punk, and their second bassist, Phil, was amazing. On later albums, they experimented with prog and ska.
"No, I don't believe in Jesus Christ; my mother died of cancer when I was five. No, I don't believe in religion; I was forced to go to church, I wasn't told why. No, I don't believe in the police when police brutality isn't a dream. No, I don't believe in the system, cause nothing it does makes sense to me."

Get the subhumans mug.That which passes for Human Resources, the corporate repository for people too feckless, indolent and dull-witted to survive by eating out of dumpsters. Circumventing the certain risk to production, process or profit these fools represent, Subhuman Resources serves the double purpose of barring such incompetents from mucking up the works by turning them loose to harry the employees who actually do contribute to company success.
Famously sexless, humorless and brainless, this office also serves to repel rodents if, ironically, by employing them.
