Thereās a lot of good information in this article from Vox. I was aware of broad accusations against Kissinger, but this is a comprehensive and damning summary.
The only defense for all of this is that hundreds of thousands of lives sacrificed was āworth itā for the foreign policy gains of combating Soviet global domination and establishing US-China relations. I can see how someone secure in their ivory tower could come to that conclusion, but it just feels like pure evil to me to have the hubris to think that you can do that calculus. Especially with a deeper understanding now of the role of white supremacy in establishing the global order, itās a lot easier to see how someone like Kissinger would just dismiss the value of Bangledeshi and Cambodian lives in the face of big foreign policy wins.

Yeah this. Iām sure Pol Pot had similar justifications for how many lives his Agrarian Utopia would ultimately save/improve to make the initial purges worth it.
Ironic coming from Mr. Vidal, considering thatās almost certainly his own final destination.
I donāt know, if someone hates Buckley then they canāt be all bad.
One of the things the Napoleon movie gets right is that Robespierre was adamant about this. Small price to pay, etc.
This post is pure insanity. Trumps not evil?!?! Lololol wtf. You been asleep for 9 years? He has easily done far more damage than Kissinger. Itās not even close.
He would have installed nationalize health care if that meant people cheered for him
He only cares about himself.
Dudes like Cheney are actually evil.
Sure his actions have caused harm itās just different.
Who cares why? I care about effect.
I donāt think thatās true. Kissinger was as bad as they come. Trump didnāt maximize his potential harm.
He is not done and the long term of effects of him are far worse than Kissinger.
Even just raw death numbers I am not sure Trump loses if we include Covid.
I agree with this. But heād also commit a 100 genocides if it meant he somehow benefitted too
Trump is also pure evil, just in a different way and possibly for different reasons. No moral compass is no moral compass

Siding with runout here. Maybe Trump did worse within America but Kissinger did way worse on an international scale.
Trump couldāve been way worse if he wasnāt so lazy.

I donāt think evil is measured by span or volume. What about someone who kidnaps a little kid and spends the next 10 years torturing them in their basement until they die from neglect because they get off on it? Is such a person less evil than Hitler simply because they werenāt as ambitious or productive? Maybe thereās no one correct objective answer, but Iād send them to the same place in hell if one existed
