Brutalism, can be used well or as mere styling that copies the look, but not the spirit. The same can be said about any other design flavour. E.g. there are a thousand examples of things that try to copy the style of apple products, but do so only in style and not in spirit.
E.g. a brutalist blog is certainly usable (see for example: http://blog.fefe.de/ http://blog.fefe.de/ which uses the browsers default css and allows you to apply custom css "themes"). If you look neutral at it, it is just text and text is front and center. With clean markup it is more accessible than most sites and people are free to style their default browser template any way they like. This is not anti-human.
Brutalism can be anti-human, but so can be a friendly cushy design language that hides the truth behind fluffy words. It always depends on the execution.
