The softest interview I could have possibly imagined from these two "socialists". They did not give two fucks about this guy's service to American Empire or how many Iraqis he killed as a machine gunner in Falujah. Instead they just accepted his line about his time as a military contractor being another example of corporate consolidation.

I'm Irrationally angry right now. What the fuck.

It's really disgusting how many people just roll over for him. Dude almost certainly has committed heinous war crimes and all these lumpen petty bourgeois media personality "socialists" completely forget their supposed internationalist positions over him.

A big part of the emotional component here is them not wanting to realize the “we were unfairly used to do evil” does mean you did evil and that has to be dealt with in tandem with the shot callers that got us in this mess.

They want one without the other.
