I hadn't heard that comment about the Rwandan genocide. If you watch any of the footage of "The Eternal Jew", a Nazi propaganda film from the 1930's, it compares Jews to rats and vermin. It's a way of dehumanizing the "enemy" so that your supporters and followers will accept what comes next.
Except, of course, the roaches in this case are incredibly well armed, and many are militarily trained. And we've all seen what giving in does. This isn't 1938, where the Holocaust the Killing Fields of Cambodia had yet to happen.
" In Milgrams experiments, as in Rwanda and Nazi Germany, those willing to harm others were not so much passive ciphers as motivated instruments of a collective cause, Haslam says. They perceived themselves as acting virtuously and doing good things.
That's what liberals believe, and they are out in force on twitter....they are saving the planet or the country, dontcha know? Or rather they have to save the planet or the country.
I think I am going to get this book. I am that convinced it is being, perhaps unintentionally, put on the burner.
calling republicans cockroaches
Pick up any comprehensive book on Rwanda and this is really, just right out of what was said on the radio there before the genocide.
