    I posted this in a friend chat, and said Good riddance, took out the trash, only umanitarian action he ever did (him dying). And my friends said I shouldn’t be so extreme 'cause he also did good things (don’t know what those are and they didn’t tell me). Then they said something about taking extreme things and nuancing them.

    I’m realising these people are the worst sort of down the middle soc-dems in their politics. They literally said something about pulling it “more to the middle”.

      How you choose to respond to your friend is entirely up to you, but take comfort in the fact that no matter what your response is Henry Kissinger will never hear it, because he is dead and nothing they say can make him live again, unless it is saying his name three times while gazing into a bathroom mirror.

      You could pretend to be a Trotzkyist so that meeting these right-deviationists in the middle means upholding the party line

        I now have a fight with one of them because he told me he expects the same remarks from me regarding Stalin. I told him I that would never hapoen because Stalin actually did good for a lot of people.

      Find a new crowd. They almost certainly believe worse shit and aren’t telling you.

      It’s not worth the mental health jumpscare when it eventually comes out.
