    Dehumanizing and othering are fascist tact, leave that to the fascists.

    Edit: othering isn’t, I stand corrected.

      They have destroyed the social contract of tolerance. So i’ll “other” them as i like because they chose that.

      We’re done here. Literally - they’ve destroyed the climate, the holocene extinction is happening right now and right-wing fascists the world over are responsible. We’ve debated, they lost. This is what that looks like.

      They must be called to account and the only way that happens is by destroying their collective immunity.

        You know, that’s a good point - othering them is us not tolerating their intolerance, and you’re on point with everything, here. I believe the flaw was with me, listing othering with dehumanization as though they were remotely equal in impact or offense.

        I appreciate the discourse, thanks for contributing!

      Meh, republicans aren’t people and I’m tired of pretending they are. They’re more akin to zombies I’d say.
