    /r/badhistory is literally the worst subreddit. They don’t think it’s fair to say Kissinger killed people. Their source for Kissinger’s innocence is literally “The Trial of Henry Kissinger”

      it’s not a very stringent subreddit but i don’t see how kissinger apologia corrupts people nickpicking the ancient/medieval content of youtuber entertainers masquerading as documentarians.

        When you’re citing a book about how Kissinger is a mass murdering war criminal as proof that he is neither you’ve both gone all in on US exceptionally fascism and abandoned all credibility.

          we’re not talking about a person we’re talking about posts on the same subreddit from different people. by all means if the same poster did both i’d be less disposed to listen, but simply sharing forum-space with idiotic shit doesn’t make everything there idiotic. i mean have you seen this website we’re on?
