Zimbardo discussed anonymity as one of the seven slopes to describe evil in new situations. A systemic issue with anonymity is the dehumanization of others. Dehumanizing others is common and surprisingly easy in the political swamp because it is easier to group or stereotype to achieve an economy of effort when addressing so many needs. Dehumanizing others is also a common bully-type behavior because bullies refuse to acknowledge a person or group's spirit, individual strengths, and abilities. The question is can we serve or affiliate with groups and beliefs without dehumanizing others?
