The 1994 genocide in Rwanda invoked here in a discussion about the patterns of dehumanization that enable mass atrocities, compared to contemporary rhetoric about Russians.
"We had a lot of trouble with western mental health workers who came here immediately after the genocide and we had to ask some of them to leave. They came and their practice did not involve being outside in the sun where you begin to feel better. There was no music or drumming to get your blood flow"
"People will unironically say "How could the Rwandan Genocide Happen", how could the "Germans support the holocaust" "How dare FDR put Japanese people in internment camps", and then proceed to say things that if said about black people or any other ethnic group would be considered atrocious."
