Popular Mechanics of Genocide
©John Edward Lawson

Vilify
Demonize
The popular mechanics
Of genocide
Vilify
Demonize
The popular mechanics
Of genocide

Stage 1: Classification
Us vs. them, with no common ground
Stage 2: Symbolization
Groups are given names, colors, and codes
Stage 3: Dehumanization
People are equated with animals, vermin, and disease

Vilify
Demonize
The popular mechanics
Of genocide
Vilify
Demonize
The popular mechanics
Of genocide

Stage 4: Organization
Use of militias, special army units formed
Stage 5: Polarization
Hate groups launch propaganda and terrorize
Stage 6: Preparation
Victims are separated and identified on death lists

Now comes stage 7: Extermination
The killings, followed by revenge killings
And finally stage 8: Denial
Hiding all evidence, blaming victims, blocking investigations

It’s clear to see we’re in late-stage genocide
But resistance works, don’t give in
Classification can be beaten by integration
And banning symbols crushes symbolization

Confront dehumanization wherever you see it
Criminalization destroys membership in genocidal groups
Stabilizing the moderate center prevents polarization

International asylum and intervention block preparation
Extermination can only be stopped by force
Truth commissions, public trials, and education are proven to beat denial

Continue to resist, never give up
Continue to resist, never give up
Continue to resist, never give up
Continue to resist, never give up

Vilify
Demonize
The popular mechanics
Of genocide
Vilify
Demonize
The popular mechanics
Of genocide
