From the article (shorter version):

5 Steps of dehumanization:

1) The creation and political instrumentalization of fear and the resulting permanent anxiety amongst the population: fear for one’s own life and fear for a specific group in society that is considered to be a threat is constantly being fed.

2) Soft exclusion: the group turned into scapegoats is excluded from certain – though not all – parts of society. They are still considered part of that society, but their status has been downgraded. They are merely being tolerated whilst at the same time being berated in public for them being or acting differently.

3) Mostly occurring in parallel with the second step, is executed though documented justification of the exclusion: academic research, expert opinions and scientific studies widely disseminated through vast media coverage are used to underpin the propaganda of fear and the subsequent exclusion of a specific group; to ‘explain’ or ‘provide evidence’ why the exclusion is necessary for the ‘good of society’ and for everybody to ‘stay safe.’

4) Hard exclusion: the group that is now ‘proven’ to be the cause of society’s problems and current impasse is subsequently excluded from civil society as a whole and becomes rightless.

5) Extermination, social or physical. The excluded group is forcefully ejected from society, either by any participation in society being made impossible, or their banishment into camps, ghettos, prisons and medical facilities.

I have a copy of Hannah Arendt’s “The Origins of Totalitarianism”. Very difficult book to read, that is a language structure issue which make translation difficult.

I struggled to get through the book, read it to try and understand how the Jews got trapped in the Nazi trap.

She was very perceptive.

Caution at the source:

Donald Trump’s March 16, 2020, Press Conference that Kicked Off This Catastrophe, Transcribed

https://brownstone.org/articles/donald-trumps-march-16-2020-press-conference-that-kicked-off-this-catastrophe-transcribed/

(Donald J. Trump did not start this, but was pressured into acting, now is clearly a disaster engineered by bureaucraps)

I pointed this out a month ago over the vaccine mandates.


This is how the Nazi's did it to the Jews.

Undesirables are dehumanized by:

The savage irony is that the unvaccinated must be protected by the vaccinated as the vaccinated are not protected at all!

Start putting holes in a few of these totalitarian bastards.

Usually goes a long way to getting them to cut the crap.
