As a member of the jury who paid close attention to all three parts, my verdict is “A Tale of Two Genocides” or, as you say, “double genocide”.

Talk about tribalism at its very worst … a picture of what divide and conquer looks like when it devolves into divide and slaughter.

“The visitor learned that the attempt to suppress ethnicity in Rwanda led to ‘Jew’ becoming short-hand for ‘Tutsi’.” — What a striking example of the law of unintended consequences in action.

“Proof, if it were needed, that dictatorships all around the world are merely taking their cue from the West, which has stopped pretending that it ever valued the civilised norms it claimed to champion.” — Nail, meet hammer!

BTW, without casting aspersions Corbett's way — as I'm sure we both hold him in highest regard, and would surely include his likeness on a Redpiller's Mount Rushmore — let it be said, that as a general rule, nuance is the enemy of clickbait.

You have been forensic and my brain is frying. Whatever happened it was absolutely tragic and horrendous. The two things that stand out most to me from reading this are a) the horror of Tutsis identifying as Jews, and b) the way we are all constantly asked for our ethnicity, and now 'gender', on almost any form we fill in. The latter has always felt really off to me and now it's going to fill me with the horror I've already mentioned twice, each and every time. Just gathering information to improve our services - of divide and rule through nudging us into slaughtering one another at any point in the future when it may come in handy to the system (whatever name we want to give it).
