    wait wait wait, i thought the whole point of this was the insinuation that he was homophonic and is blamed for creating gay work camps and committing human rights violations against gay people. this person lays out a detailed rebuttal on the major talking points that would back the accusers assertions… but now it’s “well everyone at the time was homophobic!, so i am still technically right!”

    so you do know there is a difference between someone who uses the word gay to mean bad or gross, and someone who commands the creation of concentration camps to commit human rights violations against gay people right?

    it’s a little dishonest. is this moving the goal post?

      The latter relies on the former to attain power. We should tolerate neither.

        so you don’t recognize the difference then. and your entire point is meaningless.

        and i would think you would be happy to know that he hasn’t used such language in quite a few years.

            you are inventing an enemy of your own choosing instead of being honest with this “discussion”

            i never said that, but i can see why you would rather argue someone who acutely believed that then admit you lack the bare basic nuance to separate hitler from an edgy 90’s tween, due to not wanting to actully defend the argument against Che after, from what i can see, is a very reasonable rebuttal.

            you must have something against Che, but are unable to articulate why he is bad
