Yes he is. The negative implications of otherization is the marginalizing of the Other and pushing them to the fringes of society. That's why asoul says that otherizing cops is bad. Hint: these words have very precise meanings and asoul is ignoring half of the meaning and using what's advantageous, despite that making the entire concept null.
idk i just think theres no reason to listen to this guy because the rhetorical tactics show his heart is not in the right place. theres not even a semblance of good faith, hes just trying to win the internet argument. so theres no reason to expect his internet argument is correlated with the truth at all.
no. asoul is not the one abusing definitions. hes trying to communicate an idea with the word otherization. you have made some extra assertions he didn't agree to like
The negative implications of otherization is the marginalizing of the Other and pushing them to the fringes of society.
then proceed as if this is an agreed-upon notion of the word otherization.
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Asoul is saying that otherizing cops is bad because it casts them as the big O Other, so society can enact violence upon them and marginalize them. That's his argument. He takes the negative effects of otherization from the theory, but then neglects the foundations that allow those claims of negative effects to be made
there is some social theory of otherization that ewiz is referring to. actually, i dont know if it actually exists, but out of respect for ewiz lets assume it does.
asoul says "you are otherizing the police, which is a facist tactic".
now possibly you could make a proper argument that "actually, facists otherize people by marginalizing them. this does not apply to police because they are in a position of power. otherizing people is problematic when facists do it because of the power structure."
this might even be true. then you can debate the characteristics of facism and whether otherizing is acceptable outside of marginalization contexts. but ewiz just does a "yep the word otherization is wrong here go read a book" which is an equivocation tactic designed to discredit the opposition without bringing up the actual point of disagreement (the characteristics of facism)
