The Dangers of Dehumanisation

Dehumanisation is a prerequisite for some of the darkest things we've witnessed in our history. Slavery, genocides, torture, mass killings - just to name a few, and it's one heavy list already. Because of that, ANY time is a good time to talk about it. Although this episode was sparked by what's happening in my own country, Lithuania, in regards to asylum seekers (I’ve written about it in my most recent article: https://wp.me/pc6sQr-qs), it's about more than that. In my episode, I also talk about South America, about our innate humanity, and the need to allow ourselves to draw parallels between the darkest events in our history and the beginnings of something that might seem small at first. It's not a "light" topic for this Northern Hemisphere summer season, but it's an important one --- so thank you all for listening!
