Any and every form of dehumanization.

Any and every form of bigotry.

Any and every form of supremacy.

Any and every form of authoritarianism.

Every single person from the homeless guy at the on-ramp to TACO himself is an ordinary human. Some humans are born into extraordinary circumstances, some humans accomplish extraordinary feats, but we are all human. Humans are not born hating other humans. Hate is taught and encouraged and ingrained so that it may be passed on.

Universal Basic Income is a bandaid on a system couched in one of the ugliest human motivations; greed. I chose my name for that reason; Universal Basic Justice. Justice must be the base motivation; not ‘eye for an eye’ or ‘frontier justice,’ but the belief in treating others as you want to be treated; the belief in the powers of forgiveness, responsibility and growth; and the power of compassionate care dedicated to help those that are willing to learn and grow.

If and only if all those fail should a human be separated from society in a humane way that prevents their flaws from harming others.

Death Row is not justice. Guillotines are not justice. Systemic violence is not justice. No government nor individual should be empowered to decide who is worthy of justice, of forgiveness, of growth. Of life.

Every human is fallible. Every human deserves the opportunity to recognize their mistakes as well as the opportunity to learn, grow, and make reparations for those mistakes.

I don’t see these changes happening in my lifetime. At this point, I’m not sure we humans have enough lifetimes left to achieve these goals.

What I am sure of is the danger and violence incumbent within any ideology willing to look down at another human being.

Its not necessarily an ideology but all the worst ideologies have at root a lack of empathy and active methods to extinguish any trace of it. So lack of empathy or the violent suppression of it root and stem

Nazism seem to be the worst since it’s an awful mix of nationalism, imperialism, totalitarianism, state racism, eugenics.

A nazi state basically invades its neighbors and genocide their inhabitants based on race, community or health condition.

So far, only the Third Reich applied it, leading to World War II and the Holocaust, but Japan applied some similar behavior in Asia during WWII.

Bonus point: it doesn’t even oppose capitalism, so rich people can still greed.

Any, all and each one of them. The moment you stop looking at how things are, you are finished and set right on the course of bringing unjustified pain and suffering

“Us vs them” mentality.

Any ideology may be dangerous. People who are convinced they’re tuned into a privileged view on reality may be willing to kill others to protect it. Human history is full of proofs of that.

“On the whole I think that knowledge is preferable to ignorance, and I am sure that human sympathy is more valuable than ideology.” — Kenneth Clark

Good old fashioned tribalism.

Greed.

Religion has been said, but religion is always just the excuse for justifying greed

Belief that some unfalsafiable deity is behind you, and therefore any of your actions are righteous is incredibly dangerous, because there’s no accountability. How many atrocities are justified by religion, and the belief that justice will be done in the next life?

Religion is used to justify things like the fascist movement currently sweeping through the US, abhorrent regimes in the middle-east, and the subjugation of people (particularly women) everywhere

Of course, religion is the justification, but the real objective is to gather more wealth and power

From the mega-churches in the US, to the Vatican, to the mullah in a village somewhere in the world, it’s all about having more

Fascism. It makes people loose their humanity. Fascists endure anything as long as people outside their group are suffering.

Isaac Asimov famously said, “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”.

The idea that any idea is worth listening to because someone believes in it.

Show me the proof.

Individualism.

It has led to a massive amount of duplication of human effort. We could all live massively improved lives if we acted as a community organization instead of a bunch of individual little fuckers whose opinions matter.

Religion, because they all believe that they are the only ones who are right, and everyone else needs to believe what they believe, or else something bad will come of it.

Religion

Not an ideology but I say extremisms, of all kind. Not only religious and political, those are obvious, but also day to day habits.

Ignorance.

It’s practiced by many, in alignment with arrogance. Many different flags, cloths, creeds and livelihoods depend on it.
