    My default position is that the average person is okay with genocide regardless of who is being genocided as long as those people are far away and don’t impact their lives. Caring about people you have never met is not a default human response.

      that’s true until they see it on tv / in person

      they are only far away if they are out of mind

      but if you precondition your population to see them as vermin fist it softens the horror
