minus-square@Syn_Attck@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink2•edit-23 months agoAye, reverse it and replace godless with god-fearing, and hippies with rednecks, and you nailed it! Dehumanize “the other” and you can say and do whatever you want, as long as it’s against the other team. Populace Control 101. Sad to see so many people falling for it so rampantly, but inevitable. It’s just the Internet during American election season at this point.
