Best part of this whole thread is when he says “Actually pretty much everyone has eaten with a war criminal and to not understand this is to be historically ignorant” and then it turns out this is definitely more so because his dad was CIA and he works at Yale. So yeah turns out when you’re upper class and swimming in NATO infested waters you meet a lot of people with interesting opinions!
True, didn't mean to exempt the people you're talking about. I was thinking more of how this guy hangs around with CIA/Yale type of criminals/ghouls which isn't the same experience as most people.
If you're American and you've eaten with a relative who served in the armed forces you probably have. I know I have, but it's not something I did cause I wanted to
I think you underestimate how many Americans have, in fact, dined with a war criminal. My ex’s uncle dropped fucking agent orange on top of who the fuck knows what other atrocities.
If you’ve ever seen one of those “Vietnam Veteran” hats you’ve walked past a war criminal.
He's written some really awful replies. IMO this one stands out: https://twitter.com/jasonintrator/status/1559246706235121664?cxt=HHwWgIC9pcenx6MrAAAA
And of course you have reactionary fuckers in the replies talking about how the "mob" doesn't understand "nuance" in the context of these people wanting to kill black folk.
Oh yeah huge smug asshole on top of it, and it’s pretty clear he was angling for this reaction too for a new article. Never get high off your own article supply folks. Very good indicator for the future when smug liberal assholes who write books called like “Fascism; Served with a Smile and a Piece of American Pie” nobody reads are now angling for conservative culture war bullshit. My favorite reply was definitely “Oh you might call me a little piggy pain sucker, but HAVE YOU written articles?!”

Has this guy never realised that, in fact, most people have not dined with a war criminal?
Count me out, I've eaten with former US armed forces personnel who performed work on its behalf post-WW2.
Look to your left. Now look to your right.
Both of those people are Hitler.
:michael-laugh: and this guy is arguing that its fine! We just have different opinions!
a lot of us had grandfathers who were in wwii and the US managed to do some shady shit even the one time they were the good guys
and then there's the extremely high chance of warcrimes if it was korea or viet nam, or a younger relative in a more recent war

Unfortunately, it seems that have underestimated it 😕
When a terrifying percentage of the population are war criminals it’s hard to avoid having dined with one
:amerikkka:
Nazi Aligned Terrorist Organization.
Nazi Arming and Training Organization
Really, just a lot of Nazism.
