It begins with regarding other people (be them a different skin colour, culture, or faith) as a problem. Then the roadmap to regard them as less than worthy as Humans is well on its way. Once you've established them as lesser and unworthy, committing atrocities on them is very easy.
@Tattorack @darthelmet I don't think it's ever easy even then to commit atrocities. I think it takes a special kind of degenerate people, in a degenerate environment, to become sadistic women and children murderers that also burn crops, poison wells, kill animals, enforce famine and deny relief to those they deliberately wound and maim...
History is full of examples of it being easy. You strip away the human status from a particular group and suddenly you don't feel so bad hurting them. So long as you don't talk with them, of course. That usually makes people realise the others are just people too.
