Dehumanization is a dangerous process that slowly moves people out of the protective zone of basic human rights.
It primarily uses words and images to dehumanize individuals, leading to moral exclusion.
Dehumanization has been at the core of every recorded genocide in history, such as the Nazis using the term "subhuman" for Jews.
The process of dehumanization is evident in current leadership and resistance, with dehumanizing language being used against those with differing opinions.
Dehumanizing language reflects more on the speaker than the target and can erode one's soul.
Dehumanization is not a tool for social justice but a way to offload anger, fear, and rage.
Engaging in difficult conversations requires humility, curiosity, and acknowledging imperfection.
Opting out of speaking out due to fear of criticism is a form of privilege.
Constructive conversations involve holding people accountable rather than shaming them.
Shaming individuals does not drive positive behavior but rather fuels rage, anger, rationalization, and blame.
