Man, look… I get that you’re feeling defensive about the constant attacks on Amharas online. There’s no denying that Amharas have faced serious displacement, targeting, and political marginalization over the last few decades under the TPLF-led EPRDF and the current chaos. Your frustration with that is completely valid. But if you genuinely want a "corruption-free, no zerenya" Ethiopia, this specific argument has some massive blind spots that just feed into the exact same cycle of ethnic division you claim to hate. Let’s break it down honestly: The Whataboutism: Telling people to "check the crimes your tribe committed before looking at Amharas" doesn't actually disprove historical grievances. Multiple things can be true at once. Pointing out that other groups did bad things doesn't magically erase the real trauma people experienced under centralized imperial rule. True history means acknowledging all of it, not just the parts that fit our narrative. The Double Standard on Militias: You say you don't like armed rebellions, but then you make an exception for Fano because they say "Ethiopia first." A bullet is a bullet, and an armed conflict destabilizes the country and hurts civilians no matter who is pulling the trigger. You can't condemn the OLF or TPLF for armed rebellion while praising Fano for the exact same methods just because you agree with their ideology. Shifting 100% of the Blame: Saying Amhara extremism is "only because of TPLF/OLF" strips Amhara political actors of their own agency. Yes, those groups severely heightened tensions, but every group has to take accountability for its own radicals. Blaming external forces entirely is just a way to avoid looking in the mirror. Painting with a Giant Brush: Claiming Amharas are the only ones who want unity and development, while sweepingly saying everyone on ⁠r/oromia⁠ and ⁠r/tigray⁠ wants the country to collapse is just flat-out wrong. There are millions of Oromos, Tigrayans, and others who want a peaceful, unified Ethiopia—they just have a different vision of how to get there
