You think you're unique coz you're contrarian and can think for yourself. You're just more interested in being edgy.
And it's not just lemmy, all of media has come out to remember who Kissinger really was. Except for Reuters. They suck.
Anyway, be brave and pick a side. There's no high road here by taking a neutral stance on Kissinger. He was a monster and should be remembered as such.
You're the flat earthers of morality.
Did you get that quote from somebody who had just been listening to you talk? And then misunderstood and thought they meant the other person?
You have an insufferable personality and you're not as profound as you think you are.
Why do you feel uncomfortable with criticizing a mass murdering war criminal?
The dude didn't hate communism for their values but for belonging to the enemy. He was a Jew but hated his own people (he said he'd gave been an antisemite if he wasn't born a Jew, with a motivation as asinine as "they must have been doing something wrong to be persecuted for 2000 years", as if he didn't know what propaganda was), including ignoring executions of Jews in USSR.
He personally ordered THOUSANDS of bombings in Cambodia and in many many other countries, was responsible for multiple coups and replacing democratic leaders with dictators (this is not something you do if you genuinely belive in democracy over communism), and was an overall monster.
So you're not able to find information about the bombings he personally approved of?
Blind eye? He INSTIGATED the war crimes, intentionally, because he wanted them to happen

You're pretending it doesn't require rebuttal because you think big lie rhetorics works with people who know this shit better than you do

You're ironically engaging in more group think than the rest of us by going all in on contrarianism
