God spare me greyzone journalists who read a singular line in a International Court judgement from 2016 for a war criminal who was sentenced to life in his appeal in 2019 that mentions a different war criminal and think they solved everything & are experts in war crimes.

I mean where to even start with this shit... (In a weird, philosophical way) this is what "redbrown" (and/or "nazbol) ACTUALLY means folks: LITERALLY A FUSION of the most reactionary elements of Bolshevism with some far right ideas (in this case metaphysical/philosophical Nazism)

It's weird because I deeply like specific parts/forms of marxism (while hating a large/even most of orthodo/authoritarian marxis) and anarchism but every time I hear either "side" throwing generalities like "they miss/fail/ignore... this and that" without caveats it just BORES ME

Chomsky specifically said that a concentration camp in which thousands of Bosniaks were forcibly imprisoned in, raped, tortured, and killed and then put in mass graves was "a refugee camp in which people could come and go as they please". He specifically denied the atrocities.
