  • “Human” as a deceptive descriptor for dehumanizing concepts, practices, or framing of people. “Human resources” is the most common version of that but it doesn’t stop there. When some rich asshole talks about “human” this and “human” that or how they want “fellow humans” to “be better humans” or whatever it’s pretty much always a thin creepy mask over some surveillance state shit or social manipulation.

    Reddit had that “remember the human” slogan while normalizing and making excuses for all sorts of cryptofascist shit on that site, including thinly-veiled targeted harassment campaigns trying to drive vulnerable people into self-harm, and all of that was declared to be “not against the rules” and therefore permissible.
