  1. When folks called me an anti-vaxxer (to justify un-personing me), I simply told them that I didn't want to be involved in deliberately treating (and looking for an excuse to justify treating) my fellow humans like s.......They would ALL then go quiet and also strangely change the topic of discussion......I still ironically lost my job and was justifiably banned by others and their apathy though. The dehumanisation of us is easy when folks don't WANT to think further.

  2. "In the 1970s, I met Leni Reifenstahl, close friend of Adolf Hitler, whose films helped cast the Nazi spell over Germany. She told me that the message in her films, the propaganda, was dependent not on "orders from above" but on what she called the "submissive-void" of the public. "Did this 'submissive-void' include the liberal, educated bourgeoisie (middle class)" I asked her. "Of course," she said, "especially the intelligentsia (scholars, academics, teachers, journalists, and literary writers).... When people no longer ask serious questions, they are submissive and malleable. Anything can happen."" - John Pilger
