Dear Posters,
There is not a more important topic than dehumanization. It is the underlying cause of every manner of evil and abuse in humanity.
In the end, most people won’t be able to shoot another man when they see that man as a human with hopes and dreams just like them, which is easier to get soliders who are taught to think of these people as things and monsters than it is easier to get them to pull the trigger
Its about awareness. The Nazis weren't aware that the jews were human. They were deceived by propaganda to believe that they were essentially monsters, that need to be exterminated for the benefit of all humanity.
If you're aware that your enemy is a human being, and you hold absolute power over them (as is the case in the U.S vs. the Middle East), killing those people is much worse, because you're deliberately killing another human being, and not an enemy, which is murder.
That's why the Commanding Officers are usually held responsible and executed after defeat, because they were the ones that issued the orders to dehumanize and genocide this population, while the soldiers were the one's that were decieved.
@@bellmaster4088 I won't blame them soldiers. It's the ones pulling the ropes, ripping the humanity out of young kids making them mere bipeds who don't flinch to take another bipeds's life. What's even more cruel is the fact these things are glorified and millions of money is made through that.
What about the normal "dehumanization"? Yeah, I'm talking about the generalized dehumanization against the poor, the elder, the street children. Everyone turn the eye away from them... dehumanized.

Exactly.
what I hate is that it's taught too. as a child I wanted to give them something but I was a child and I was just told to look away instead. and that sticks with you and it feels bad.
I'm watching this video for my sociology class, but I'm interested in his hands, its not sign language, but he does a few movements that look like it could be.
Believe me their are more important issues... than people that have fallen in the system.
Really cool! I'm honestly inspired by these insights! Gotta read more on this.
Hmnnn... That is an interesting question.
I like contemplating good questions so off the top of my head here goes:
I have observed humans for years asking myself to find ways to overcome racism, dehumanization etc..
I remember noticing at a young age how corporate cultures had people from all over the world working together peacefully.
(If you can't get along with others you wont have a job.)
Maybe common purposes to work on like water shortages, food or other focuses that people could work on together could be cross cultural.
There are people from many groups that generally disagree but within those groups thay have people that focus on issues that all humans need to put their attention on to survive or improve quality of life for example sanitation, medicine, the elderly, entertainment, farming, products etc..
It's like how people who without the internet were cut off from their "purpose tribe" hobby tribe or interest tribe.
We can use these focus tribes to cross between groups and help others to open up to more diverse cultures, like the eagle and bear klans you speak of.
When people are interested, excited and energetic about what they are focused on and working on together, that ebergy overcomes mistrust.
This can actual be consciously cultivated and choreographed in ways that open people up to groups that were previously seen as outsiders, others or even enemies due to lack of proximity and so lack of understanding or trust of the unknown.
Cross cultivated groups through focus interests.
An amazing video and insight towards the basis of dehumanisation. Especially helpful as I was tackling a genre study of science fiction. (There is a particularly riveting still however at 0:21 which gave me a laugh).
Migrants and refugees are human beings who are worthy of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Somalia is an example of a clans confederating under one umbrella tribe. It hasn't helped to stop the violence and inter-tribal conflict is still common. The system might have worked for the Iroquois, but I would be hesitant to assert that it can serve as a universal model, Eagleman.
Is Dehumanization is spontaneous, how it infects an ingroup, why pain matrix is different for groups
So... if a "switch" , also can be on , rather than off.
When collectively threatened, say.
This guy knows his stuff.
And most people are more concerned with bragging about iq instead of thinking of the chain of events leading to societal downfall.

Don’t forget to wear your mandatory mask 😷 2021.
Just for saying, I am here to hear how to pronounce dehumanization. I am ashamed of myself.
Teutonic Germanic tribes were very stable for this very reason. Also, the original bharata Hindustan otherwise known as "India" has tribes and groups ordered in similar vocational groups that one could move around in. The teutonics and Indians from India all had group affiliations but shared commonalities. It was the Europeans who colonized India and superimposed "caste" in these structures that were ancient that made them how we're taught about them today. "Caste" is a European concept. When they colonized India they had to organize it and took this structures and superimposed "castes".
These groups, the Tuetonic or Germanic and the Indians are different than middle eastern tribes were they share no commonality or kinship. So it's been explained that a person with a problem in Arab groupings or tribes will go to a leader of a community and say "not my problem" and then the person will go to the town board and theyll say "not my town" and then theyll go ti the city and be told "not my city" and on down the line finding the whole way its not anybodies shared responsibility but belongs to the tribe or origin
Butnthats an overview. A very superficial look. Im not going to talk about the soecifis of how they actually worked and how efficient they were, according to each.
Theyre just different structures.
Im definitely not going to get into american racism regardless of how complex it was, is, whatever. Complexity does not stop or prevent atrocities thouh i can tell you that! Thats a whole other conversation.the fact is genocides happen for all kinds of reasons. So do concentration camps. And like, hospitals torture people. People do bad things when they have power over others. Regardless of how theyre affiliated, or even orecincieved roles. Its what people do when they have power over others. Americans had concentration camps. Genocides have halpenwd all over the world. Slavery has existed in virtually every culture. People commit murder for all sorts of reasons including loss of control.
In the kurukshetra war Krishna had a dilema, he had family members in the other side. But was forced to fight anyway for righteousness.
Jesus told followers to take up arms and turn against family.
There's as many reasons to find yourself in a bloody rage as there are to get along! Honestly.
Too much, too little.
And no, its not ok
Whats this guy's gig anyway? Technology? Control? Everyones about money ya. But what, he "cares"? Give me a break! Its personal now?
Dude literally cant even see the forest from the trees!
Also, i dont like commies or jews. Especially the neo marxist liberal types.
And i want papers and identification. 😂
So David EAGLEmen is interested in the social benefits of the eagle clan :) Might just be an accident but we are so drowned in information that such patterns can make a difference in what we pay attention too,
Did you just deliberately avoid mentioning the elephant in the room?
This guy is hyper active
A multicultural society where there's a promotion of racial diversity and intermixing of racial and cultural backgrounds.
