        maybe people at the top of the hierarchy get so stuck with seeing the “big picture” that they don’t even deem those outside of it as human beings?

        also just in case, it has nothing to do with this but, do you speak spanish? your pfp reminds me of the “niño rata” meme that spread all over in like 2014 ;w;

          Yeah, dehumanization and lack of empathy are huge. I just can’t get my head around how someone can look at another human and say, “Fuck you I’d rather you eat bleach and die than eat this old scone that I’m throwing in the trash”. That level of contempt for another human just feels like pure evil to me and I fail to understand at all how someone can be driven to go to lengths like that.

          Also: I’m not very good at speaking Spanish but I can understand decently. I’ve tried learning a few times but never have anyone to speak with kitty-birthday-sad I looked up the meme though and it’s definitely the same one. Rat boy came from this scene of The Simpsons
