dismantlers
Crews taking apart
Dismantlers are people or entities that take things apart.
The term applies concretely to workers who break down vehicles, ships, or machinery for salvage: auto dismantlers, ship dismantlers.
It extends to those who systematically undo institutions, systems, or ideas: dismantlers of the regulatory state, dismantlers of democratic norms.
