The proto-Greenwald. A genocide denier and an apologist for one of the most bloodthirsty maniacs the European continent has seen since 1945. His "anti-imperialist" views gave him extreme tunnel vision in international affairs, to the point that he thinks America can do nothing right. I get that egghead academics are of the opinion that he's made valuable intellectual contributions to other fields, but none are significant enough to save him from being an abhorrent and undeniable HP.
This is the main reason why the far left is having so many problems all over the west. Most of them hate America and love (or at least defend) the biggest sh-tholes on the planet. Why would anyone support a political movement that has nothing good to say about the best countries on earth and nothing but apologia for all the world's disgusting dictatorships?
