Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Trump's Dehumanizing Rhetoric Is Adopting Franco's Language of Fascism and Violence http://www.democracynow.org/2024/10/29/2024_election_fascism_authoritarianism #trump #USElections2024 #uspoli #Fascism #Authoritarianism #dehumanizing #LockHimUp
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
…#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.
“The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write anything for others to read. It is a fundamentally #dehumanizing #technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning. It reduces the amount of intention in the world.”

*I've had some horrific lived experiences with both folks who have #DisabilityFetish & folks who were only interested in me as a #DisabledWoman dating experiment - without telling me, I'm an experiment. Both types of these experiences harmed me & are abusive & exploitive.*
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."
@NPR #Dehumanizing #rhetoric (e.g. #amalek) and #EthnicCleansing as policy at the highest levels of #israel government and #idf leads to a "permission structure" that encourages targeting anything that moves.

Throughout his current campaign, #Trump has exerted his influence on the #immigration policy debate on several fronts.He pressured congressional #Republicans to reject a bipartisan compromise to expand enforcement funding&powers, arguing that it would give the #Democrats a #political victory&that it was not restrictive enough.He has also escalated his use of #dehumanizing language to describe #migrants, accusing them of“poisoning the blood of our country”&…a source of imminent terrorist attacks.
#Nationalism leads to atrocities. This is obvious based on even the simplest analysis of what it is and how it works. When you define in-groups and out-groups using #dehumanizing language, under certain circumstances you will see... grown-arse men deliberately killing children.
Reading the story of Thaddeus Stevens by Bruce Levine, I’m realizing how much modern politics echoes the same themes. And the principle is the same. Just as compromise with the slavers of the old South prolonged the conflict, compromise with the #WhiteSupremacist #GOP, its #racism, and their #dehumanizing pathos only leads to prolonged grief for the nation.
Walmart is known for their low prices, destroying competition, & mistreating workers. Their greeters were popular, but in 2019 -the co eliminated them. Walmart is now known for #dehumanizing employees: As recently as 2019, Walmart allowed its employees to accrue 9 penalizing points, for infractions like showing up late, leaving early, or taking unplanned time off (even due to sickness or family reasons), every 6 months before firing them. #WorkerRights #CorporateGreed https://newrepublic.com/article/177515/death-walmart-workplace-safety-record?utm_campaign=SF_TNR&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social
