      No I’m not, I literally outlined in my initial post that there are critics of Kissenger.

      I’m outlining that the subject is a dogpile of people engaging in group think where the only valid opinion is “he badman” and there is no honest discourse.

        What good did he do

        Don’t bother mentioning that prize if you aren’t going to explain why he was given it

          Well he was instrumental in ending the Vietnam War. He and his family fled the Nazis in 1938, then he joined the us army to fight them in 1943.

          His views on defeating communism meant he also advocated for some fucked up shit. And most of his work in policy is why I’m not a fan of him.

          But it’s not a binary thing. He is not the devil. Not even close to some of the people in power today.

          My point has and continues to be that there is no discourse going on right now. There is just a dogpile.

          I didn’t want to argue about the virtues of Kissenger, or lack. I wanted to point out the large amount of group think people are going into on THE SUBJECT.
