I’m glad your family was class conscious/anti-imperialist but a large majority of Americans are not/were not.
And? The imperial machine marches on whether or not imperial subjects choose to recognize it. Imperialists who commit atrocities can't just get a blanket pardon because they didn't know better
I’m not saying blanket pardon, I’m not even saying forgiveness, I’m simply talking about analyzing the material / societal reasons. unless you believe people are just evil and like doing evil it seems like the “normal” take leftists should have lol
Analyzing the material reasons people do what they do is good. Recognizing the systemic factors that lead imperialists to project imperialism is something that we should do. But that doesn't mean treating imperialists with these uwu kid gloves, especially when they haven't deprogrammed.

Nobody is arguing that we shouldn't do that.
