The word “fascist” gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it’s hard to find a more apt one for “Unhumans,” which came out last month. The book argues that leftists don’t deserve the status of human beings — that they are, as the title says, unhumans

Vance is a quite fascinating and rare example of what happens when one of these people who dedicates themselves to Trump actually gets rewarded for it. And the reward is getting absolutely shit on by everyone, every day, for the rest of all time lol
The phrase I like is ‘dignity wraith’ — somebody who in their quest for power has let everything rot away, and all that’s left is a constant stream of humiliation.
The perfect trifecta of kink: couches, dolphins, and humiliation.
Edit: Punctuation Clarity.
Wouldn’t that be a quadfecta or something like that? 🤔
Oh, sorry, I think a punctuation error made it unclear. The 3 are a list of his kinks. I’ll edit for clarity.
Fair enough 😁🤜
Not a big deal. I’m glad you pointed it out. I’d rather be clear. Thanks!
You’re very welcome, have a nice day 🙂
It’s dangerous to declare your opponents are not really human. A long time ago a term was coined, “outlaw”. It meant somebody had committed crimes that placed them outside the law. They not only no longer had the protections the law placed gave all others, but the responsibilities as well. The y could be killed out of hand, but they could also kill without further repercussions.
The most obvious example is untermenche which the nazis used to describe their enemies.

I can’t imagine that the authors of the book didn’t know this. It’s not quite a dog whistle to neo nazis and white supremecists. More like a bullhorn.
Didn’t realize this day would ever come, but finally, a book I do support burning.
I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can’t read what runs through their and their friends’ head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period’s political pulse later.
And I don’t think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.
If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.
If the right people read their playbooks, then it can greatly empower them to fight back. As they know their every move and can call out exactly what they’re doing. I personally believe knowledge can counter this kind of thing, and I think more people reading it under the pretense that it’s a fascist playbook would hurt the Republican cause the most.
Don’t be ludicrous.
Burn the person who wrote it.
As hard as it will be, I think it better to read it to better understand my enemy.
Yeahhhh, Imma go ahead and hold onto these guns.
So “Project 2025” was not even enough?
