    This is really it for me. They trot out their acknowledgements and apologies decades later when it hardly matters anymore, with zero restoration.

      We all acknowledge what the CIA did exactly 25 years ago was bad.

      But thank god the force of freedom and democracy put a stop to that 25 years ago.

      Modern activities are classified for 25 years but you can trust us we stopped doing that stuff 25 years ago.

      Yup. These fucks use the horror they unleashed on one country to obfuscate their continued torture of another. Hey wanna make amends? dont call the Capitol a “vaunted temple to democracy” or whatever.

      Also we just supported a coup in Peru that is still murdering indigenous people, and these progressives did jack shit when Chile was in crisis and there was the push for a new constitution. They can take their performative shit and shove it
