Genocides generally have 2 things in common:
1) The people who are ready and willing to commit the genocide always telegraph their intentions. It takes a very high level of hate to be part of a genocide of innocent people, and because of that, the people doing the killing simply cannot conceal their intentions. Ignore what they say at your own risk...
2) The victims NEVER think mass killings are possible. In Europe, as Jews were loaded into the cattle cars later in the genocide, other Jews started hearing rumors of death camps, and they also started asking why the ones who departed earlier weren’t writing home. While the reasons are obvious now, at the time there were 2 common reactions to these two items: (1) - What you’re saying can NEVER happen here, we are the most ‘cultured’ country in the world; (2) - Even if I do leave, I’ll lose everything that I’ve worked for here.
The ones who did leave early and made it to a safe place likely were able to hang on to at least some of their wealth, and obviously survived the holocaust. The ones who didn’t leave early, but figured it out later, found the doors shut to them all over the world. Something to think about.
The reason they telegraph is to provoke the other party and to terrorize others into being quiet hoping it will slide by them.
Once the other party has it in their consciousness, they are ineffective. If the aggression was kept in the unconscious, then the other party would be more effective and united subconsciously that way. Inversely they get “woke” on “white supremacists” because it allows them to throw hypocritically in their own blood lustful unconscious their desires to rape, loot, steal and murder freely, satisfying their inner repressed pulsions.
All leftists, and especially schizo youth Khmer Rouge types, use this “psych-up” to make their revolution “successful”.
It is typical high level gangster psy ops to spell to the opponent what he is going to do while keeping in the unconscious a vicious hatred of his opponent.
The one ray of hope arguing against your thesis is that record gun sales indicate that many Americans DO think mass killings are coming their way and are at least now equipped, even if not truly mentally prepared, to defend themselves.
I read once that every genocide begins as a utopian dream: “If we just have the strength to do this, this will become a paradise.”
Something to think about.

Something else to think about is that the Jews didn’t have guns.
A Jewish neighbor, reflecting on the Holocaust, said that he was told this by some older relatives: "When Hitler came to power, we knew it would be bad, because his antisemitic views were clear. But, we'd been through rough periods before. We asked, 'What's the worst he could do? Kill us all?' "
Unfortunately, the answer was "Yes."
