** 12-Jan-2021 World View: Genocide Playbook generational era
Everything is obvious once it's written down.
The Genocide Playbook pattern can be used, and is used, in any
generational era. The early stages would be quite common in Recovery
and Awakening eras, but could then expand to full-scale genocide in
the Crisis era. However, genocide can also occur in Recovery Eras
(Zimbabwe) or Awakening and Unraveling Eras (Syria).
