Excited to find the western chauvinists in this community.
Edit: Wow apparently the only people on chapo dot chat are whitees unaffected by and benefiting from their imperialism confidently declaring how the perpetrators are to be treated.
Y'all have some nerve
Edit 2:
ITT If you shoot a black kid in the back in downtown Baltimore I want nothing to do with you. If you perfarate an entire back family in Mogadischu or Baghdad that's ok, you did growth and spaces.
Should we be so accepting of IDF veterans fresh from shooting civvies on the border fence?
I dunno. I guess only if said veteran was fully repentant and acknowledging of the crimes they were part of...and most importantly were now actively agitating against them.
I guess I don't believe in condemning people forever - neither the cop in Baltimore nor the grunt in Mogadishu, if they're on the bottom rungs of such fucked up hierarchies. We need allies and if they've come around, that's better than nothing.
Forgive, never forget.
This is true, but that's wholly distinct from pulling our punches on troops out of the desire to attract them to the left, which seems to be the stance a lot of people take
