Without asking these questions and simulating the "how" it could occur today, how do we see the warning signs before its too late that we reach that same outcome? When you ask even what's considered horrific scenarios you can additionally map these to predictors for it repeating, no? When does the "a-ha" moment occur where we've met 9/10 of the way to repeating the holocaust in the USA without table topping these scenarios? Yeah war is horrific but lets not talk about it. "society where women could not legally refuse sex" these societies exist today, how do we address these issue by not talking about it? "illegal immigrants became slaves" Is this not parity to today? Do illegal immigrants not currently get treated to near slavery (adjusting for changes in living conditions and removing the direct physical abuse)

What about the Palestine / Israel scenario today? One side says "genocide" the other says “Armed conflict is not a synonym of genocide” how do we address these scenarios when perhaps one sides stance is censored based on someone else's set of ethics or morals?
