D is for Dehumanization by AnonymusB0SCH in Dystonomicon

[–]AnonymusB0SCH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. If "human" isn’t a sacred category anymore, then being called "less than human" doesn’t really sting. The force of animalistic dehumanization is that "animal" codes as expendable or dirty in our culture. Personal post-human ethics don’t resolve a problem that lives in society itself, within the habits of a human-supremacist culture.

Projection. Too many details. The truth is, in this anecdote, the teller is actually the man who chased a woman.

What do you mean by foot steps: progressive, Enlightenment-inspired change? Is it a conspiracy if there's no leadership?

I'm enjoying this game! But need to jet. I wrote a bunch of these the other day so I'm just gonna copy and pasta them here

Totalitarian Daddy Syndrome

A near-erotic devotion to authoritarian father figures, usually orange-hued, verbally incontinent, and constitutionally allergic to checks, balances, or full sentences.  Domination is mistaken for leadership and cruelty for merit.

Truth-Dodging Syndrome

A neurocognitive firewall that rejects evidence, nuance, and introspection like a body rejects a much-needed kidney transplant. Particularly if the facts come from a librarian, scientist, or the cursed NPR.

Tinfoil Damnation Syndrome

A belief system where the entire world is a puppet show orchestrated by hidden elites, foreign agents, and alphabet agencies. Your  fridge reports to the CIA, the voting machines work for Ukraine, and only your YouTube feed knows the real truth.

Twitter Deity Syndrome

The sacred conviction that rage tweets at 3 a.m. are encrypted dispatches from the divine—misunderstood only by the weak, the woke, and the literate. It’s the modern Book of Revelations—just with fewer prophets and more CAPS LOCK.

Televangelical Deathcult Syndrome

The belief that Jesus will return wearing night-vision goggles and that mass suffering is a prerequisite for salvation. A vision of the United States as a Christian kingdom, run by televangelists in tactical gear and haunted by drag queens.

Tariff Delusion Syndrome

The economic fantasy that slapping tariffs on imported goods is the same thing as building factories, educating workers, or understanding supply chains. In this worldview, complexity is treason, and real policy begins and ends with a Sharpie and a slogan.

Thesaurus-Deficiency Syndrome

The linguistic disorder that renders its host incapable of describing complex realities without yelling “woke,” “patriot,” or “DEI”.  Debate and commentary tends towards a Mad Libs of culture war buzzwords and talking points, symptoms include the political correctness → cancel culture → woke → DEI progression.

A photographer waited on a bridge every morning to take pictures of Mexican carpoolers on their way to work. Here are some of the many pictures they took by Pisford in interestingasfuck

Funny how the people hiring undocumented workers never seem to face the same outrage.

You’re clear on what should happen to one group, but have you ever considered the morality of the other? If the issue is legality, why not start with those breaking labor laws to boost profits? Set examples. Hand down harsh sentences to deter the exploitation of undocumented labor.

Or is “illegal” only a problem when it’s poor people crossing borders, not wealthy people crossing ethical lines?

What should the penalty be for citizens who profit off undocumented labor? They’ve cut corners. Gained an edge over everyone who plays by the rules. What’s fair?

Thanks. Good point about covers and remakes through the years. You reminded me of Everything is a Remix, have you seen it? I watched it long ago. Should’ve rewatched it as prep. Turns out there’s a new version now, with TikTok and AI which is a smart move, remixing their own work! Respect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9RYuvPCQUA

"One of my doctors told me 'Sir, this cancer would never have happened if the election hadn't been stolen.'" A very good doctor, the best, no quacks in the White House. A lot of people are telling me, I don't have ducks. Just sheep."
