@jljacobson Yeah, I agree that understanding the continuum of genocidal actions (plus dehumanization of the adversary, desensitization of the perpetrator society) is crucial to follow.

@jljacobson It would be a lot easier to manage these comparisons if we all shared more background knowledge on how the policies of race and genocide evolved in the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945. And similarly how they evolved & shifted in Euro empires, settler colonies.

@jljacobson In a mild dose of optimism, I would suggest that (1) while there is a downhill slope in this area, not every state on this continuum slides to the bottom; (2) we've created some powerful moral aversions to these practices & thoughts.
