It’s pretty disgusting that a comment comparing walmart greeters to people who have murdered poor people for the empire, and then has the gall to talk about restorative justice, has so many upvotes here.
What an absolute joke. Wehrmacht apologia with a new coat of paint. Many, many Wehrmacht soldiers came home broken and traumatized. I don’t give a fuck.
Whining about imperialist footsoldiers not being given enough of a second chance is the apex of first world entitlement. Tell that to the orphans in Iraq. Or Afghanistan. Or Yemen. Or Laos. Or Syria. Or or or
What restoration is there? They do not help the people outside the imperial core.
If they help the project to destroy the imperial core, then they certainly do.
If that’s aimed at me, then sure, I believe in restorative justice even for the people who murdered the families of friends of mine. They can start by re-enlisting and fragging their commanding officers. But whining about how they feel bad about all the poor farmers they put in the ground (though they had to pay for college somehow) isn’t going to cut it.
I think the overlap in vocabulary is incidental. If I want to accuse you, I’ll tag you.
Obviously myopic pricks should be tossed out just like someone who committed (conventionally recognized) murder and says “but he kind of deserved it though for calling me stupid”. I’m not saying they get a blank check, I am saying that they do not have the Mark of Cain.
