How did this post turn into a dumb discussion about NSFW and Graham Platner, it's beyond me, I was old enough to remember, and for the youngsters who may think it's AI, this is not even the half of it, this was on TV news and in all the major newspapers around the world

When it's US atrocities

  • we should focus on present
  • let bygones be bygones
  • it was normal during that time period
  • it's progressive compared to present day
  • it's russian/china propaganda
  • they want to divide us
  • russia made us do it
  • bad people only exist in USA?
  • I wasn't involved in that period,why should it matter to me?
  • okay it was bad but look at all the good it has done for our country
  • because of us, you're in the most peaceful part of history
  • thank you for your service
  • what you're going to do about it?
  • got mine, fuck you

But when talking about its enemies

  • bring up the same atrocities from decades and decades ago, over and over again to brigade the arguments.

This is basic US conditioning.
