I never expected my tweet on warning signs for genocide to go viral. But, I'm not a blue-check, so I only get 25 in a thread. Thus, there are things that probably need expounding upon. In particular, what ends up happening is greatly dependent on the goals of the oppressors 1/n

For example, even though Germany based it's laws in the 30's on Jim Crow laws in the US, the US did not go down a path like Germany in the 40's. The goal of Jim Crow wasn't to drive out Blacks (though many left), it was to ensure white social, legal, and political supremacy. 2/n
