@AlexBerenson@AnnieJacobsen You forget that this is being reported as a lab leak. So what were they doing with it? Has it been engineered to be more lethal?
@Inevitablewest 4. Disruption of Kinship
Attacking family structures breaks heritage transmission. Through forced assimilation, renaming mandates, and child removal programs, state apparatuses deliberately erase ancestral lineages from legal and historical records.
@Inevitablewest Historically, regimes systematically dismantle an ethnic groupโs history, lineage, and identity before committing mass violence.
Scholars highlight 4 key tactics used to dehumanize and rewrite history: ๐งต๐
@Inevitablewest 3. Linguistic Dehumanization
Language is shifted to strip victims of human agency. Using parasitic metaphors (e.g., vermin, cockroaches) reframes violence as a measure of "hygiene" or "self-defense," while names are replaced with numbers or slurs.
@Inevitablewest 2. Historical Revisionism & Erasure
Powers delegitimize a group's indigeneity, framing them as "foreign invaders" or "foreign elements" who don't belong. Destruction of archives, cemeteries, and birth records (memoricide) severs generational memory.
@Inevitablewest 1. Pseudo-Scientific Re-categorization
Regimes use bureaucratic tools to reframe identity into rigid, biological tiers.
โข 1935 Nuremberg Laws weaponized genealogical charts.
โข Belgian colonial rule in Rwanda codified fluid social identities into rigid, racialized ID cards.
