it’s called dehumanization and we know where that leads to.
other might nowadays create similar depictions of other government heads that can also be considered shit bags and are involved in a war making that obvious.
I’m not sure if this is what you meant, but I can see the argument that it’s important to not dehumanise people like Putin, Hitler, and the rest, as these pure evil creatures. If we can’t see them as nuanced people, with both wicked and decent sides to them, we’ll lose the ability to recognise the next up and coming tyrant.
It’s a difficult topic. Yes, there’s harm in completely demonize a person or group of people, but at the same time, Putin is actively waging an unjust war murdering hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and his own people. Hardly a time to bring up his love of… whatever non-polarizing topics he cares for.
that isn’t my point, if one of them had a decent side, i’d give a f. but they are human beings like you and me. i can only reiterate, we’ve seen that often enough and where this leads to.

particularly that it makes it more difficult to find a stable political solution to the underlying conflicts.

Oh no, sorry for dehumanizing a dude who actively wages war with human wave tactics. LMAO

luckily that’s an exaggeration. it might apply to russian combatants though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#Casualties
As long as it’s not disparaging a group of people, I’m okay with a person being displayed as a funny monkey.
Chimping for dictators this morning?
Libs are going mask off today.
