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.
Fuck that opinion.
Is celebrating the death of a human being mildly unpleasant? Sure. But is it more unpleasant than the 3-4 million deaths he caused? Fuck no.
Celebrate the death of an evil man. Go for it. And for the neo-Victorian scolds who want to say that it’s bad to speak ill of the dead:
You know what goes here!
FUCK YOU!
This is where I’m at too. I feel no guilt celebrating the death of an evil person.
