I’ll get this out of the way right now, I’m a progressive socialist and Kissinger’s legacy in the world is one of reactionary repression and suffering. I find pretty much everything he stood for to be wrongheaded and harmful to society.
That said, celebrating someone dying in the way that’s happening now shows disrespect to human life and an utter lack of humanity. I understand the motivation, but it should be fought against by remembering that no one is ever just one thing, everyone is a mix of good and bad, and we certainly shouldn’t give in to the desire to rejoice at another’s death, no matter what we think of them.
The man is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. You’re god damn right I’m going to cheer his own. I wish it was long and painful. I also wish he was locked up in “The Hague” when he died. Alone.
But I know you’re just looking for engagement because nobody would be THAT naive to not think he deserves death and so much more.
I am not OP but the argument appears to be the difference between Justice vs. Vengeance - i.e. even actively cheering for his death is not quite the same as celebrating it happening, after the fact.
I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion from what OP wrote.
I wish he died a long time ago. And I’m happy he’s dead now.
