    The problem is that our society not only failed to punish, but actively rewarded someone who committed atrocities on par with world history’s worst people. The problem is that it still does, which encourages more people like him to do more things like he did.

      he was protected by the united states security. a mass murderer responsible for the death of millions of people, had the protection of the security forces of the united states. he was invited to the white house to give advice a lot of times, he was invited to parties all the time.

      this is fucking surreal. the guy was responsible for millions of deaths, and there he was getting rich because he gave talks about being a fucking psychopath. and he did this in the most prestigious universities of the world.

      if you really think about it, if you really take your time to understand, this whole thing is beyond fucked up. and there is this guy complaining about a title. which takes the situation from fucked up to absolute absurdity. its just absurd. i’m not even mad, i’m baffled.

        Oh fuck off he was responsible for the death of millions of people. That’s such bullshit I already feel dirty just asking for some sources.

        You are going to give me an IamRight link to support your claim, I’m going to post a rebuttal showing I can prove Aliens rule the earth because “here is a webink” and then you are going to dismiss me with some cliche bullshit about “hurr durr sheeples, troll, shill” argument.

        So let’s cut the crap. Your agenda is to support the narrative of the populists, and my agenda is to argue against binary arguments.

        Can we move on now?

            I don’t disagree with your point that he was just a symptom of an underlying problem.

            Problems are pretty nuanced when discussing systemic issues.

            People, ideology, beliefs… These are all small parts but together they make a big picture.

            All I really want is that people think at a multidimensional level.

      Remind me when this guy commanded troops?

      I must have missed that part in history lessons. Unless you are saying that all advisors to the leadership are responsible for the leaders actions.

      Well actually those who continue it as well right, for example every US president since Roosevelt.

      Hang on, let’s start the list, please feel free to add to it; Stephen Hadley, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell…
