I haven't seen the employees "escalation to genocide", but as I understand it, it was an employee sharing the ADL pyramid of hate -- that such attitudes such as stereotypes were foundational to further hate.
- kortilla 5y agoYes, the ADL pyramid is a modern Godwin’s law. You only bring it out to state that “making fun of someone is the foundation of genocide”.
- bytelines 5y agoNobody is doing that. What people are saying, in this thread even, is that making fun of names is innocent fun. The pyramid is intended to show that its foundational to hate. Thats then being immediately taken out of context to equate stereotypes with genocide as a straw man argument. In this thread. Nobody here or at Basecamp made such an argument. Its entirely made up to shut down discussion.
- kortilla 5y ago> The pyramid is intended to show that its foundational to hate. Thought is also the foundation below that. In fact, thought is much more requisite to hate rather than making fun of something. Shall we update the pyramid and show that thought is the foundation to all hate so we can show it whenever someone thinks?

- notsureaboutpg 5y agoThat sounds super political and pretty extreme and probably not appropriate to bring into a work context when talking about how to appropriately punish people who have been making stereotypical jokes.
