Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies
notes
a scathing obituary that felt deserved and maybe even a bit too nice. it's an amazing example of how power and eliteness allows bad actors to fail upwards, with great cost to those they are responsible for.
also eye opening to those today that continue to turn a blind eye and celebrate them.
