    lib fellating here. he loathed the cia and wanted to abolish it, and before he died he was working towards ending the cold war. for all the awful shit he’d been involved with, it is very bad and terrible for the world that the cia killed him

      "Working on ending the Cold War" in this case actually means "nearly caused nuclear armageddon by suicidally escalating the Cuban missile crisis." JFK was hawkish to an insane degree.

        a loot of things changed between the missile crisis and his assassination. i’m not saying he was a good dude and he should go to heaven. i’m saying that he was killed for a reason and the world is worse for it
