Dehumanization and othering makes a vast difference on society as a whole. It will not only change how we see our selves but what we see, believe, or even care. Humans are a very emotional, vulnerable, and some could say too dependent. It will cause, little to no uproar, as such feeling would feel restricted, so no one would say out loud, what is wrong with people or them or really do anything. because the people of that society, would feel restricted and have a invisible wall around them restricting them from normal freedom and will doubt them selves a lot. Simply we would be robots, with a mind that is not open for suggestions or something new. No one would strive to be better or put goals for them selves or even care for there lives. Thought we will not be emotionless, some would want to have fake happiness, feel superior or really do anything to gain a glimpse of there emotions. This society will lead to more psychopaths and sociopaths and even more harm to ourselves to try to gain that glimpse of emotion.
