Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

Just because you think you can semantically make this statement doesn't mean it's not dehumanizing. Once again, the point is that it is dehumanizing, not that it's entirely, 100%, indisputably inaccurate.

And the proof is in the pudding. Kirk has been a leading voice in these right-wing conversations, and you can't get to this point where we are at with immigration without dehumanizing immigrants.

We now live in a world where Elon Musk advocates for the removal of all non-white immigrants and their posterity, and nobody on the right even blinks. This wasn't possible 10 years ago.
I see your point. Applying labels to people and constantly referring to them by those labels is dehumanizing.

Hmmmmm....
 
For the love of God. STOP racing to a political corner every time anybody breathes. That’s what caused this to begin with.
A conservative says things like this and y’all are all jumping on him like 💩 flies telling him to not. Let a liberal say the same thing and y’all are all quiet. That’s what makes a liberal a low life trash human.if you not going to condemn all of it, STFU.
 
Of course not. That wasn't the point at all. The point is people blaming one side for this rhetoric when Kirk is exhibit A on the right. That is the only point. Of course Kirk didn't deserve this and this is horrible for politics in the US.

All you have to say is that it’s horrible. The next damn word after that is one too many.

I would say specifically negative labels, and only certain kinds. For example, "libtard" is atrocious and reveals something more about the person saying it than anything, but I don't think it does much to dehumanize the group (I guess you could say it dehumanizes disabled people, but that's beside the point). It's a huge group, they hold a lot of power, and it's all based on political ideology.

I find it much more concerning when it's attacking smaller groups, like religion, or even worse, attacking smaller groups with inherited traits, like where they were born or how they were born (gay or gender confused, I know it's not PC but it's the least confusing term, LOL).
