Oh look, another 10+ minute interview with an influential woman on a variety of topics including fighting for the education of girls in cultures where they would otherwise be marginalized, a book, her relationship with her family and the value of voting in an election, and y'all take a 10 second soundbite and immediately start with the "she's trash fuck her," talk.
This is the second time this has happened in 30 days.
The op is being a manipulative shitposter and y'all falling for it like chumps. Nice progressive forum we got going here.
1) Feel free to make a thread about any of the other topics broached instead of thread whining about this one
2) You're working overtime to downplay this "10 second soundbite," but the fact of the matter is that this moment speaks volumes and is a striking and incendiary statement
3) Taking any steps to rehabilitate the image of a war criminal sucks
4) I don't know what you mean by "nice progressive forum we got going here," as none of the criticism here contradicts any kind of progressive values. Second, this is generally a liberal-leaning forum, not a progressive one. Third, even if Era did lean more progressive than liberal, the Obamas are about as milquetoast centrist as they come so why would you expect that to have any bearing here?
Criticizing people who try to rehabilitate war criminals is not cancel culture. It is, in fact, the only morally decent thing to do because we shouldn't be trying to soften the images of people who did heinous awful things.
