As was the case for continued slavery in America, when leadership must de-humanize a population to justify attacking that population, that leadership is NOT just not justified.
During American slavery, black people were consider three fifty's (3/5) of a human being. This gave slave owners dominion (as proclaimed in the Bible) over black people who were considered something less than human. When leaders use terms like "human animals" it gives them cover to do what they "need" to do to eliminate that scourge. This is just one of the tactics we've seen leaders use to justify unjust acts.
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they chose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those they care for.
