The Hutu extremists culled thought of the Tutsi's as being one, in lieu of individual people. This conception corresponds with the one-minded notion the Council of Vocations has coerced upon the people of Anthem. Equality 7-2521 cerebrates differently than how he has been raised to comport since birth, a very arduous task for most. They have even been taken away the ability to judge for themselves,.
It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone (1.1) Equality 7-2521 doesn't wish to be different, for he is aware it is against the law and he could get in a great deal of trouble in his tightly controlled society. He endeavors his best to conceal the fact that he was more intelligent than the others, we looked upon Union 5-3992, who were a pale boy with only half a brain, and we tried to say and do as they did, that we might be like them, like Union 5-3992, but somehow the Teachers knew that we were not. (1.18) .
But it was much more difficult than he could imagine, and eventually he had to elude, discovering books of the old world and the word 'I' he had been relinquished from the brainwash he had been raised with and discovered himself. The Hutu sympathizers were most likely on the same path. They were afraid of separating with the majority of the population to avail the Tutsis; their lives were at risk. But they knew that it was the right thing to do, no matter what the cost. The Rwandan Genocide is not the only example that group-predicated determining leading to total disregard of a dissenting opinion. These actions perpetuate today in cult-like churches that fixate on the conception that they alone have the truth and that you must be a member of their church to be preserved a place in heaven, and entirely abolish contradictory information, such as the Westboro Baptist Church.
