The Rwanda genocide was the Hutu “people” genociding the Tutsi “people”.
I say “people”, because both of those demographics are almost entirely artificial and were created by the ruling class in the late 19th century based mostly on the criterium of “Do you own cattle?”, and then exploited and the split enlarged first by german colonizers and then by the belgians. The belgians then made it official by printing it on their mandatory ID cards.
And of course, both the Germans and the Belgians preferred the wealthy, cattle-owning tutsi minority over the poorer hutu majority. And when the white colonizers left, the hutu’s decided to grab some power back… with genocide.
Just another reminder that there is no war but class war. The rich and powerful will try to split us by whatever arbitrary division they can, but the differences we have between each other are nothing compared to the differences between all of us and the ultra rich.
Tootsie liar. Was that the whole setup for this joke /story???
