    The superstructure of society encourages dehumanization of black and brown and “foreign” men because they are seen as dangerous violent animals. This is a centuries old rhetorical ploy by the ruling class to subordinate the masses through fear. This meme contributes to and furthers such ideology

    Did a single individual anti Semitic poster in 1934 Germany cause Dachau? Of course not. But that single individual poster was one of millions of contributing factors that caused the conditions that allowed for the Holocaust

    We should recognize and denounce such hatred when we see it

      We aren’t talking about the othering of a type of human here, we are talking about MEN. 50% of the human population. To imply that this remotely resembles the way in which Whiteness has repeated overtly othered minority segments is beyond just disingenuous, it is knowingly manipulative and nefarious.
