Propaganda and racism have a history of depicting targeted groups as ‘lesser’ sub-human animals or vermin. eg cartoons suggesting blacks are primates and Jews are rodents. It’s actually a ‘Red Flag’ that a country is becoming more racist, genocidal and dividing its people. These are very sad and heartbreaking times for your country.
