>>2265704trolling or not, it's that level of dehumanization that allows horrific acts from any side of any "conflict". they're just X so i don't care what happens to them.
that combined with the increasing black and white dichotomy of "you did one 'bad thing' and now you're one of 'them'" toxically seeping into many ideologies. see the GOP's treatment of Boehner when he didn't want to defund planned parenthood based on obviously edited videos that mirrored the similar acorn event a few years prior.
>>2265702i feel there's a mix of overreaction from many self described "politically incorrect" people to any criticism whatsoever. there are differences between unintentionally being offensive, intentionally being offensive, or just straight up harassing people, and while there is overlap between all three you can't just use that as a blanket excuse for any and all of your behavior and people's reactions to it, especially when it's just small interpersonal matters as simple as someone saying "hey, that makes me uncomfortable, please don't do that around me". that's just a lack of people skills at that point, regardless of whether it's intentional or not.
