Pronounced de-being-ify. It is to deny someone or something's beingness and immanent persona. Objectifying it, dismissing it as trite or inconsequential. Also, dehumanizing, defining people (and nature) in utilitarian, mechanistic terms.
It is much easier to humans to prey, murder and rape when they first debeingify the victim, as it was done in Nazi Germany and Ruwanda.
Corporations have debeingified nature, treating it as a mere object, thus legitimizing their rape of it.
