I noticed it was the anniversary of the Iraq War (march 20) So i decided to post this in remembrance of all dead. I'm not sure to mark as NSFW or not, or if this post belongs. I will understand removal

Oh so you recognize they actually know what they’re talking about.

That's a pretty bizarre extrapolation from me recognizing that they're campist cretins.

What camp are they “campist cretins” to then?

Second-campist. Do you not know what 'campist' means?

It’s laughable you think tweets are evidence

Yes. How hilarious it is that I think their own words are evidence of their positions. Ha ha.

and not like, their articles since they are both critically acclaimed journalists.

So is Glenn fucking Greenwald, that doesn't make him not a cretin.

The tweets don’t back up your claim either.

Oh, right, apologism for atrocities is only bad when it's US atrocities.

We’re in a thread about the casualties of the Iraq War and you’re trying to discredit the two journalists that have created the most accurate and complete telling about the Iraq War that actually recognizes the humanity of the Iraqi civilians bombed, tortured, and starved to death in some of the most inhumane ways imaginable by the US. Like, wtf.

Have they considered not discrediting themselves by being genocide apologists for non-US atrocities, or is that too much ask?

I apologize, in the future, I'll be sure to paper over and cover up genocide apologism if the apologist sometimes agrees with me.
