Mitex LeoIn the Black Mirror episode "Men Against Fire," soldiers are manipulated by neural implants into seeing their targets as monstrous “roaches.” It’s a chilling metaphor for how dehumanization makes violence easier to justify—how perception can be engineered to suppress empathy.We might not have implants in our heads, but we're still constantly fed narratives—through news media, films, and even video games like Call of Duty—that shape how we see entire groups of people. Often, they’re cast as the villain, the threat, the other.One group that’s been persistently portrayed this way is Muslims. From headlines that link Islam to terrorism to entertainment that uses Muslim characters as stock villains, these patterns have created a distorted image. Over time, it becomes easy to forget that we're talking about real people—people with families, histories, hopes, and beliefs as varied as anyone else’s.Just like the soldiers in Men Against Fire, many of us are trained—subtly or overtly—to look past someone’s humanity. And that’s dangerous. Because once we stop seeing people as fully human, anything can be justified.The way forward isn’t through more fear, but through understanding. We need to question the stories we’re told, listen more deeply, and seek out voices that aren’t always handed a microphone. Only then can we begin to replace suspicion with empathy—and division with something more human.<a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/Islamophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Islamophobia</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/MediaPropaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MediaPropaganda</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/Dehumanization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dehumanization</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/BlackMirror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMirror</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/MenAgainstFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MenAgainstFire</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/MuslimVoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MuslimVoices</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/StopTheHate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StopTheHate</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/MuslimVerse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MuslimVerse</a> <a href="https://mitexleo.one/tags/Terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Terrorism</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesSo as I mentioned yesterday, I'd like to share this Majority Report interview with trans actress Laverne Cox about the fascist assault on trans rights, the dehumanization of trans people, and how what I've come to define as the anti-trans pogrom fits in to the larger capitalist, patriarchal, white supremacist, and ultimately fascist project. While Cox is a well informed, focused, and insightful guest that's worth listening to in any setting, as a trans woman one of the things I liked best about this interview is how the two cisgender hosts of the show allowed her to control the discussion and ultimately create a conversation that I think is equally valuable for trans people, other members of the LGBTQ community, and cis-het folks who want to serve as accomplices, not just allies, for a trans community in the fascist crosshairs as we speak. Cox and the hosts discuss the recent history of anti-trans legislation, the larger fascist quest to eras trans people in public life, and how dehumanizing language and anti-trans propaganda serve as a permission structure for both eliminating trans people's civil rights and further dehumanization. They also talk about the reality that this project to justify and create the anti-trans pogrom is a well-funded, highly coordinated endeavor with architects across the entire American right, as demonstrated by the fact that almost everything to demonize, oppress, and erase trans people that GOP fascists have accomplished since Trump took office, was laid out in advance in Project 2025. Cox even articulates what most trans people already know in their hearts but many cis liberals treating us like a political football don't seem to understand; that the path the fascists are adopting here may lead to the genocide of trans people. The group then shifts focus to talk about the relationship between the anti-trans pogrom, white supremacist patriarchal Christian Nationalism, and a larger fascist project that ultimately serves to enrich and empower predatory capital. Cox notes that what folks who aren't on the firing lines call a "culture war" is really about civil rights for those who are. The gang points out that policing of trans people in public life, is really just an extension of an ideology that views women as property, and that opens up a pathway to gendered power dynamics and enforced policies that harm *all* women, not just trans women. As both Cox and Vigland note, the fact that dehumanizing anti-trans propaganda ultimately serves as the thin end of the wedge for this larger fascist project and touches on other forms of targeted oppression towards non-white people, women, migrants, and young people, means that taking about the anti-trans pogrom is not a distraction, but rather a vital step towards defending us all from fascism. Finally Cox talks about the importance of folks who support trans people actually rehumanizing trans folks in the broader culture, why allowing the right to force the discussion into a lens of medicalization is an unworkable strategy, and why nobody who isn't trying to get trans people murdered should be "consorting with the likes of Charlie Kirk." In a moment that may come as a surprise to cis people, she points out that even conceding to the idea that trans identities, trans rights, or trans existence are topics to debate, is an unacceptable level of dehumanization and helps the fascist cause. As Cox poignantly notes, "there is no middle ground when someone wants you extinguished."

oatmealQuoting Yoaana Gonen: “the humiliation of Palestinian women by our soldiers will yet surface at home, at work, and on your next date”Israeli soldiers were filmed in a Palestinian home in the West Bank, mocking Palestinian women by playing with their underwear, extending a practice previously documented in Gaza. This behavior is condemned as gender-based violence inherent to the occupation, aiming to dehumanize Palestinians. Yoaan Gonen criticizes the silence of Israeli women's organizations regarding these actions and warns about the normalization of such behavior within Israeli society and its potential repercussions within Israeli society itself.[…] We have seen dozens of similar pictures and videos. Soldiers mockingly wave the underwear of Gazan women who have become refugees or were killed. Some of them wear the items and mince around with exaggerated femininity, others explain with a smile that "Arab women are the biggest whores." The novelty in the current video is the fact that it takes place in the West Bank and not in Gaza. Just like combat practices, practices of humiliation are also seeping from Gaza to the West Bank, and don't be surprised if later they also spill into the Green Line territories, directly or indirectly. Hundreds of men, who have learned in the past year that it's funny to use the sexuality and underwear of helpless women to humiliate them in public, will not suddenly forget this when they take off their uniforms. And a society that is silent in the face of these sickening sights is not a good society for women — not even for the women living within it.Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-01-28/ty-article-opinion/.highlight/00000194-a8e2-d360-a1bc-f9ffffc30000" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-01-28/ty-article-opinion/.highlight/00000194-a8e2-d360-a1bc-f9ffffc30000</a> or <a href="https://archive.is/RPzgV" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.is/RPzgV</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@israel</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelOccupation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelOccupation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IsraelWarCrimes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderBasedViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenderBasedViolence</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dehumanization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dehumanization</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OccupiedWestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OccupiedWestBank</a>
