Rwanda: The Warped Solidarity of Hate
Allan Little explores how propaganda fuelled the genocide in Rwanda, priming thousands of ordinary people into believing that murder was virtuous civic duty.
In the second part of his series on the mechanics of hate, Allan Little explores how a relentless propaganda campaign fuelled the genocide in Rwanda. We hear how a radio station helped create a perverse moral climate where killing your neighbour felt like the right thing to do. With the help of psychologists and genocide experts, Little learns how human beings can be primed to believe that murderous hatred is a virtue and that eliminating your colleagues and even your friends is a civic duty.
