History is a good teacher when a people remember that human nature does not change and the lessons of history are littered with the corpses of millions who were wiped out because their people and nation did not see the times that they lived in... were a-changing.
This is a segment of a 7 minute lecture on the genocide that took place in the Ukraine in the 20s in terms of discussing how victimization can get out of hand rapidly by beating the victim drum and moving towards eradicating offensive people and their culture.
He says this in the video:
"We were looking at the discourse that happens in a genocidal state and the enhancement of discourse among one of the groups. Usually, the group that is going to commit the genocide.
First of all, their sense of being victims is much heightened by the demagogues who are trying to stir up this hatred. They basically say, 'look... You have been oppressed in a variety of ways and these are the people who did it and they are not going to stop doing it and this time we are going to get them before they get us."
As you listen to him speak, the pattern and blueprint of what has come before in the eradication of people that are targeted (which happens very quickly he points out) becomes clear in the times happening around us right now. For they are A-Changing.
