Hmmm,
Around here our radio air waves are loaded with Christian radio and news - listen to that stuff for awhile, for me it certainly feels like they are working very hard to dehumanize liberal, progressive thinking voices.
Listen to the MAGA Cult, in their hearts they’ve been convinced their opponents don’t matter whatsoever, that we forward looking rationalist who respect science & honesty, are scum and don’t deserve to live in this country - what is that if not dehumanizing?
Look at what happened to that wonderful liberal and educated German nation back in the day. One moment neighbors were neighbors living in civil friendship and cooperation, then HItler started preaching and and before those good Germans realized it, Jews were suddenly sub-humans, to be exterminated like rats (because the good German people would never wish such cruelty on a fellow human, they had to morph them into rats.) Look at the old Nazi propaganda art.
The Tolerance Museum in LA is a great place to learn about that. I would like to see more education on how the culture itself incubates these ideas. Hitler needed fertile ground in which to grow. Then he just dropped his seeds.
The roots of antisemitism are deep. Their religious backing is probably why they don’t get talked about. All of that and more still exists. Take the Royal family for example. Introduce one person with light brown skin and they go nuts. I’m so glad so spoke up.
More than that, he also needed the backing of the monied masters of industry and finance, who manage to always stay in the background. Could see that same dynamic in Mr.trump, a fairly small group of very rich people, and political players, enabled him, for their own profit.
While the news reporters are in the great ball rooms watching every nuance - the real decisions happen in those back rooms that only the very privileged can enter and play in.
Exactly. I was in a castle today. Cute story of rich people. The guide literally said that she could not answer some questions or she would lose her job. The descendants of the builder, 1880 Victorian, created a law firm that is still powerful today.
