Can't get behind the annoying sociology degree language. Even if the point is valid.
Not helping
Any examples of it? I’m curious :o
I don't like the use of "othering" as a verb, basically. A girthy third of my MSc included swimming in the twat-infested waters of academic sociology so I feel I've earned my battle-scars in that respect. I once had a professor tell me "dams don't work, anyway" as a way of terminating a debate on the relocation of tribal communities in central India. The entire history of agriculture would seem to disagree with that assessment.
How do you feel about "demonizing" or "dehumanizing"? Same concept, older lingo
I think it's a bad thing, and those are the words I would use. Or something along those lines.
