Henry Kissinger is such a mass murdering, war criminal piece of shit that even /r/neoliberal has to use the label [unironic] on the title of the post wishing him a happy birthday.

A war criminal who belongs in the noose just like Halder, Tojo and all the rest.

War criminal against whom? Vietnam?

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.” —Anthony Bourdain, A Cook’s Tour (2002). There were the murderous meddles in Latin America, the conflicts in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. (The interventions in Laos and Cambodia are said to have left 350,000 Laotians and 600,000 Cambodians dead.) Then came the selective turning of blind eyes in Indonesia and Pakistan, and the ruthless sponsorship of coups in Africa.

Best, then, to conclude this natal day salutation to the man by reflecting on the remarks of that most raw yet delicate of culinary (and social) commentators, Anthony Bourdain. In visiting Cambodia for his Cook’s Tour series, he could only reflect about why such a man was not sharing dock space at The Hague with other war criminals. “You will never be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking.” Sadly, for many in the Kissinger cosmos, they continue to do so without so much as flinching.

That's interesting you mentioned Indonesia. I watched a documentary about the dictatorship there recently, and I swear to God Indonesians must be some of the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet.

What did you find that made you conclude that?

The documentary was about these middle-aged men who had been in some kind of political youth group that killed a bunch of people, decades ago. The people making the documentary pretended they wanted to help these goons make a movie glorifying their past deeds, but instead they just filmed them talking bullshit and trying to make this (extremely cheesy) film.

While a handful of them had moments of self-awareness, the goons were mostly just wasting their lives away comparing themselves to American gangster films, feeding bullshit to the younger people in their little youth group, and so on. Oh, and they survive on shaking down local businesses for protection money, and running people off their land so rich people can build resorts and whatnot.

Why is every single person filmed here stupid? Well, the goons are stupid for falling for the "making a movie" ruse. Their victims are even stupider, because they are being conned by stupid people.

And the number of crimes admitted to, and even committed on camera, is mind-boggling, as is the pervasive lack of introspection observed from any Indonesian person captured on film.

It looked to me like they were just sleepwalking through life, and like Scarface represented the highest level of fulfillment or ambition that the brain of any of them could even imagine.

I guess it was news to you that Kissinger is a war criminal. That's why you changed the subject to a derogatory comment.

/u/Chipit is a long-time poster who consistently and regularly posts dissident political content, quite unlike what paid posters are employed to do. He's a great example of what this site needs more of.

Pretty sure I heard people call Kissinger a war criminal like 30 years ago, champ.
