This quote by Aldous Huxley "The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human." is a compelling statement, and history shows that it is true. I believe that here in 2024, one of the issues where we've seen this manifest most devastatingly is in the pro-life/pro-choice debate. The propagandist's lies include: "it's just a clump of cells", "abortion is healthcare", and "anti-abortion laws will mean that women will be arrested for having an abortion." None of these are true, and it dehumanizes the human being that is killed in an abortion. Science and reason both support the fact that a fetus is human. Richard Hutchinson was born at a gestational age of 21 weeks 2 days (131 days premature), in June 2020, making him "the most premature baby to survive" according to the Guinness World Records. The propaganda of the pro-choice movement has dehumanized an entire class of humans.
