Violence never begins with violence.
It begins with something quieter; a pause, a joke, a label that pretends to explain a person in a single word.
The Threshold marks the beginning of the journey through Dehumanization: The First Step Toward Anything.
This first segment explores how cruelty begins not with hatred, but with language. With silence. With the moments that feel too ordinary to notice.
Through reflection and storytelling, it traces the first steps:
how agreement disguised as description turns into normalization,
how silence becomes permission,
and how the smallest dismissals prepare the ground for harm.
This is not a story about history; it is about us, now.
The way we speak. The way we categorize. The way we stop seeing people as people.
Listen to the episode below, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Because the first step toward cruelty is always how we see.
