mollusque commented on the word disinvisibilizing
Bertram Gross has forcefully argued that a perceived crisis is a necessary though not sufficient condition for the introduction or expansion of national planning. We do not believe that the civil-rights thrust and the "disinvisibilizing" of the poor by social commentators created a "crisis," goading action.
--by Ben B. Seligman, 1965, Poverty as a Public Issue, p. 317

mollusque commented on the word disinvisibilizing
Apparently the longest English word with only i's for vowels. Strange that this and invisibilizing, from writings on social justice, should displace the previous egocentric record holders: disinhibiting, instinctivistic, libidinizing, primitivistic, and philistinizing.
