Learning about Radio Rwanda and the role it played in the 1994 genocide was very important for my "learning about how genocides are created and carried out" arc. It's one of those "once you know you see it everywhere", hwere specific language is used to get people ready to start the killing.

American talk radio is dripping with it. Honestly surprised we don't have more people doing mass shootings and the like.
I ascribe to the old Chapo "Americans are chickenshit" because I don't understand, given what a fucking mess everything is and how dripping with 
everyopne is and how many guns are around, why there isn't far, far, far more political violence in the US.
I mean, I think there's a lot of unreported/under-reported violence in the US that's lost amid the police violence, the general school/office bullying, and the general decline in the quality and locality of journalism nationally. And we've seen a ton of that stuff evaporate off the airwaves in the wake of Ferguson/Baltimore/George Floyd. Its all "porch pirates!" and "shoplifting gangs!" now, which I'm sure create their own ambient racial violence as a consequence.
Also can't be forgotten how segregated the US has made of itself. At some point, I simply do not have any minorities nearby with whom I can be mad at. The El Paso Walmart Shooter decided he needed to drive all the way from Allen, TX to El Paso in order to perpetrate a mass slaying of immigrants, for instance.

Why is it that when Israel makes the desert bloom it always begins with them seeding the ground with red fertilizer?
That and stealing water from Gaza
