The UKkk be like

The dumbest people are those who deny the colonized right to resist like you

Nah. There was no nuance to his statement, and he’s never backtracked or amended it in a way that acknowledges while the institutions deserved it, the method by which the attack was carried out killed children and people who had no connection to the institutions being targeted. They were collateral damage and part of the reason 9/11 is what it is. What he does have is an army of apologists who will tell other why what he said isn’t what he said, and if it was what was said it’s being taken out of context, and if it’s not out of context it’s actually three different statements, two of which he never said, but could be true, so accept that even though that’s not what he said. Like a bunch of fucking MAGAts arguing why Trumps words aren’t what he said or meant.

If you’re so invested in your influencer that you will ignore endorsing actions that tools the lives of innocent children because the outcome was worth it in your eyes, you are not a progressive, or a socialist, or a communist, or an ally. There’s a certain strain of leftism that has emerged where America is always the worst so any action taken against it is acceptable, up to and including the death of a two year old. We’re going to have to be real careful about who’s getting into what power positions once MAGA is dealt with because we’ve got leftists who will preach solidarity now but would stab us in the back as so as the rebuilding begins.
