ReplyDeleteIndeed. I'd comment in my own words, but the following quote from the fellow who did the Stanford Prison Experiment is quite powerful:
Dehumanization -- At the core of evil is the process of dehumanization by which certain other people or collectives of them, are depicted as less than human, as non comparable in humanity or personal dignity to those who do the labeling...
