Like yeah dude, they literally were “part from” that past. Kissinger, just as a totally random example of a war criminal, was born in 1923. He would have been 38 years old when Lumumba was murdered. He’s still, at a decrepit 99 years old, benefiting heavily from his involvement in war crimes. As are his descendants. As are the people who helped orchestrate his crimes. This is living fucking memory! Not some paragraph from a high school fucking history book! People are benefiting and people are suffering because of the fucked up shit Europe did and continues to do, not only today, not only 60 fucking years ago, but fucking centuries ago. This is what liberal, individualist solipsism gets you – main character syndrome and a complete fucking absense of historical memory or simple human empathy.
Apologies for the angry tone. Just that it does make me angry, is all.
I was going to comment on the shitlib being Moroccan and how that may impact their view of Algerian resistance, but you (if that’s you) absolutely destroyed them there. It’s like the antithesis to the “I’m not racist, I have a black friend”, motherfuckers are really saying “well I don’t know anyone who was personally involved in the conflict so people should get over it”. Fuck’s sake.
Living memory = past people “weren’t part from”

The pink hair avatar dude named Figurinelambda? That’s not me, that’s my friend, he’s half Moroccan half Algerian.
