When a PhD-educated public figure like Dereje Gerefa Tullu employs dehumanizing, eliminationist rhetoric, the issue is not political disagreement but moral collapse. Education is meant to civilize power, not aestheticize violence. When learning is repurposed to normalize threats and glorify force, it ceases to be enlightenment and becomes an accessory. The danger lies not only in the words spoken, but in how confidently they are spoken—revealing how ordinary cruelty can sound when dressed in educated language.

Injustice is not a permanent condition; it is an unstable one. Where dignity, consent, and autonomy are denied, resistance does not fade—it evolves. Between those who fight injustice with clarity and those who preserve it through denial or opportunism lies a spectrum of hesitation that slows justice but cannot stop it. History is clear: stability is not imposed by force, but reached through courage, accountability, and self-determination.
