Frankly, I’m at the point where I’m starting to question if even that part:whole relationship is really applicable.
Don’t get me wrong: I understand why it’s a really bad thing to start dehumanizing your enemy, but WTF are you supposed to do when they jettison everything but venal hatred and sociopathy and thus dehumanize themselves?
You’re supposed to understand that the vast majority of society are shallow idiots that’ve been misled by immersion in state-sponsored propaganda.
Then, engage the socialists and communists. They know what to do, why, and how. The last time we had the numbers for meaningful change was the late 1940s: Veterans of WW1 became armed socialists and communists which resulted in The New Deal.
Corporate personhood is what’s made much of this incarnation possible. If you want to dehumanize something then focus on the root cause.
They are also trying to get rid of teachers. Eventually charter schools will just have a person in a classroom pressing play for a video and handing out papers. Grading and testing will be done through computers. A psych report will be made for each student to determine how to brainwash them further.
Also, schools can’t afford books. Giving every (or even a few) teachers guns would cost millions per school district. We have money for more guns but not computers and books
It is really sad how many people would trust teachers in a classroom with guns but not books.
Not people generally.
Conservatives, specifically.

The video will be produced by Sinclair Media and even math will include a polemic about how awful socialism is and how great Trump is.
