possibly the most disgusting blue tribe habit is hagiography of Nelson Mandela everybody who does this should be required to write an essay on what the practice of necklacing is, how they think it feels to have it done to you, and what they think its place in politics is

It's undisputed that Nelson Mandela planted bombs, but I thought Winnie was the enthusiastic proponent of necklacing? It's associated with the 80s, when Nelson was in prison.

"he didn't publicly endorse it, only his wife did" does not seem like the most armor-plated fig leaf ever to me, but ymmv ofc
-
No fig leaf implied. He killed people in pursuit of a political end. Terrorist/freedom fighter is a matter of perspective. I just don't know if he had any control over the ANC when necklacings were happening. And I don't picture Winnie as a deferential and obedient wife.
-
the kind not to consult on tactics, though? but sure, there's enough ambiguity to sustain forbearance from judgment if one likes
-
The shallow lib celebration of twinkly-eyed grandad Madiba is nauseating, no argument. "He was locked up just for being black," to quote David Brent.

One of the subtler aspects of white supremacy is this pathological need to see all black leaders as either angelic or as complete monsters and has no room betwixt.
