This is the language of genocide. Google for a video by neurosciencist David Eagleman on PBS called "Destroying Empathy" about how propaganda plugs directly into neural networks, enabling dehumanization. @usatodayusat.ly/2sTqciH
In our case, one of the tools used extensively is called "Stochastic Terrorism", which is a sort of "rolling the dice" approach to developing and activating lone wolves. It works and we have seen numerous example of late.
Don't think for a minute that those people do not know what they are doing. If you have a journalism or political science degree, you are not unfamiliar with Propaganda, Gaslighting, etc... In our case #TrumpAganda. If it did not work, he would not be there.
While we are not there yet, that is where they have us headed if we do not get a grip. For an excellent PDF slide presentation of "the language of genocide", you may find this of significant interest.🚩catholicdistance.org/landp/henson.p…
One question we might ask ourselves is: "How far along is the zeitgeist", or "How far along are we", in relation to these stages? How close, or how far? Hard to tell, but I would not dismiss those questions? Does anyone think all this is accidental?
So while many of us tend to see this... It is way more serious than we imagine. Trump uses a "Kayfabe" approach, but the outcome is the same as the propaganda which creates cataclysms. Look up "Kayfabe" and "Propaganda" and see how it is no laughing matter.
"The distinction between dehumanization — seeing people as animals — and prejudice, related, but dissimilar enough that different regions of the brain are active. Dehumanization is a special evaluation of others." washingtonpost.com/news/postevery…
