of course even white westerners here still simp for him after he's said multiple times how proud he was to help destroy our countries. Fuck the troops all day.

    Idk, it seems like Lee Carter has tried to make up for the fact that he worked for the US war machine. Here's a speech he gave against intervention in Syria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K26yyUkdwFM. The rhetoric isn't perfect but he was talking to other U.S. officials, and he closes out the speech by listing all of the ways in which previous American interventions resulted in nothing but suffering, and closed with "regime change has no good ending."

    I get that American electoralism is dogshit and shouldn't be where we focus our energy and that some might not be able to personally forgive Carter for his time as a troop but the weird animosity toward him since his loss has seemed misplaced. Him being in office was still a small net positive. Also bragging about your Twitter blocks will never not be :cringe:
