the deprogram on reddit is gone now, and so is og post about this is gone. so i will repost it.

you will find on forums, people speaking about finding pictures of their parents doing horrific things, things that they will try to ensure never sees the light of day. Never forget that this notion of the “polite society” is just a veneer.

My Dad in Vietnam

His first wife whom I know only from Facebook sent me this. I asked him about it and he said they regularly interrogated locals for info. I never knew this side of the man.

    After Christmas I was telling my partner that if you put a microphone above every person’s dinner tables for just Christmas day you’d get enough confessions of war crimes to fill the hague 10x.

      I read a post by an antizionist Israeli on the jews with a conscience subreddit where they mentioned their brother came home from Gaza and was having a laugh with their family telling them all the war crimes he committed; I genuinely don’t understand the lack of shame or remorse, or how their family just join in on the laughs. The person said if they’d said anything even slightly against it they’d get an earful. Literally no shame or remorse.

        Precisely! Americans feel like they’re better than isntrealis but they’re one and the same.

        It’s a hot take but the big backlash those comedians had for performing at the Riyadh festival was foolish to me. Your country does so much worse and you never call it out!

        I understand they do deserve criticism for it, but the most libbed-up “support our troops” type of people hopped on the bandwagon too and it was so frustrating to see in real time.
