I see people saying Western Civilization is failing, Western Civilization is dead. But it looks like Western Civilization is alive and kicking, doing as it always does. As it did during the crusades, as they did in the times of Columbus, the Dutch Golden Age and the British Empire and the rest of colonial Europe and the US. #Invading, taking over, #robbing, #enslaving, #dehumanizing and #genocide are very much values of Western Civilization. #Israel #Gaza #Lebanon

“Meta is giving the green light for people to target LGBTQ people, women, #immigrants, and other #marginalized groups with #violence, #vitriol, and #dehumanizing narratives. With these changes, Meta is continuing to normalize anti-LGBTQ hatred for #profit — at the expense of its users and true #freedom of expression.”

Treating #marginalized folks as other and #dehumanizing them really hurts.

People are people regardless of any identifiers added to that word.

My understanding of the importance of this is growing and may I be there for them because they are me, they are you, they are us all.

Personally I don't like speaking of everything my mom goes through, sharing her trauma and her medical issues seems #dehumanizing and abusive from my point of view

I give vague ideas of what happens, people close to me know in more detail because of how it hurts me but...

…#Trump has also incorrectly said that #Haitians in #Springfield are in the #US illegally, though local officials have rebutted that as well. The migrants were granted temporary protected status #TPS in the #UnitedStates after fleeing #violence at home.

The claims are the latest instances of Trump using #dehumanizing language when talking about people who immigrate to the US. They also mirror stereotypes some Americans have used against foreigners in the US for nearly 1½ centuries.

When we talk about #DisabledPeople having awesome sex⁠ lives, sometimes something #dehumanizing creeps into the mix: Some (usually nondisabled) people profess an "attraction to disability."

What Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán Understand About Your Brain

By Marcel Danesi, 07/30/2023

"My research analyzes real speeches made by politicians past and present, including those of #Trump, #Orbán and #Putin, using cognitive linguistics — a branch of linguistics that examines the relationship between language and the mind. What I have found is that throughout history, speeches by #dictators and #autocrats have one thing in common: they use #dehumanizing metaphors to instill and propagate hatred of others.

"It is well-documented that for example words like 'reptiles' and 'parasites' were used by the Nazi regime to compare outsiders and minorities to animals. Strongmen throughout history have referred to targeted social groups as 'rats' or 'pests' or 'a plague.'"

=> It is not #dehumanizing, when you call a #cop a #pig!

The first dehumanization in this game is when a human decides to become a cop, an executer of a pure penalty based system incapable of organizing resocialization in a money based society. This is the first step of dehumanization. The rest is just a simple finding, a pig, or like in german a bulle, or better, a bullepig: #Bullenschwein.
