I’ll get this out of the way right now, I’m a progressive socialist and Kissinger’s legacy in the world is one of reactionary repression and suffering. I find pretty much everything he stood for to be wrongheaded and harmful to society.
That said, celebrating someone dying in the way that’s happening now shows disrespect to human life and an utter lack of humanity. I understand the motivation, but it should be fought against by remembering that no one is ever just one thing, everyone is a mix of good and bad, and we certainly shouldn’t give in to the desire to rejoice at another’s death, no matter what we think of them.
We’re not rejoicing his death per se but rejoicing in a new world where the murderer of over 4 million no longer walks among us.
How can this be so hard for people to understand?
Gotta wonder if OP, being plopped in say, Paris 1945, would have also criticised people for celebrating Hitler finally ridding the world of himself…
Fucking centrists. smdh
That’s a really good way of putting it.
