      This thread is admirable for many reasons, not least of which is maintaining calmness in the face of absurd claim.https://twitter.com/JeannieSGersen/status/1358267692256493568 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Jeannie Suk Gersen @JeannieSGersen
      Thread. 1: My colleague Mark Ramseyer @Harvard_Law has written two recent articles that together make clear his view, that well-established historical accounts of atrocities against Korean and other Asian women by Japan during WW II are “historically untrue” and “pure fiction.”

      I have to say, "Korean women under Japanese military occupation weren't forced into prostitution, they just had to fulfill a contractual obligation" is a level of libertarian galaxy brain I didn't even imagine was possible.

          Trust me, those of us familiar with Ramseyer’s work saw this particular steamer coming years ago.

          Hate to reveal my ignorance; but, who is Ramseyer?

          I’ve run into libertarian defenders of rape and slavery before. There is always some excuse, even for the most brutal of conduct.

          Im surprised to see a professional scholar go there, but it's sadly not the first time I've seen libertarians defend slavery, sexual exploitation specifically, or state-power like this.

          this feels like it ought to be a larger point in the takedown but his argument is so poor i guess his motives for making it kind of dont matter
