Graham Platner was in Iraq like the ICE agent who killed Renee Good and he murdered many civilians in the exact same way. (lemmy.ml)

There's a vast difference in killing someone in combat 20 years ago and shooting a widowed mother of 3 in the face during a traffic stop.

I don't honestly care if you agree with me or not, but a large portion of why progressivism / anticapitalism feels like such an unsupported cause is because so many of you are militantly opposed to the idea of personal change.

"He was a tool of the oppressor 20 years ago, so he's tainted for life!" is not how you build support.
