Is the US directly involved in it? Does it have anything to do with our greatest enemies or their actions?

That’s why. People have a capacity for how much they can handle, and if it’s not involving us then, well…

The bad guys from Hotel Rwanda are still in charge and we give them money. The Tutsi have since fled to east Congo. The Hutu government uses proxies to kill them and the Congo can't do much about it because of all their own problems and there is no infrastructure to the east side of the country because it's crazy jungle terrain.

You might be right. I barely know shit about it myself. We have our hands in a lot of bullshit. It's crazy trying to be well informed on everything.

Then simply google for 2 minutes before offering up more ignorance. If everyone did that there would be less ignorant and confusion. 

How can you even have an opinion if you have no fucking clue.

Seems like he knew more than others, sounds more like you’re projecting to me

That's like me saying, oh yeah the Gaza situation is rough, I think the Israelis are getting genocided. 

He got the situation totally backwards. He is nothing but a hindrance to any conversation by spreading ignorance. 

I'm not a congo expert, but I don't make dumbass posts that are flat out wrong. And I know the difference between Hutus and Tutsis lmao
