I bet NYT would have gotten in more trouble for "happy birthday joseph mccarthy! you were right!" headline then the Marx one

I think I have a blindspot about the Rosenberg's the way some of my black friends have a blindspot about OJ
-
the rosenbergs totally were stalinists, alger hiss was communist, and eric garland was a communist and thats just the stuff we for sure know
-
were stalinists vs actively spying for the ussr but also they were actively spying for the ussr mccarthyism was bad but for real the establishment was just lousy in the 40s and 50s, he hadnt misdiagnosed a problem is my understanding what was that broken OTP called?
-
ya i listed ones that were taking orders from stalin, thats not even getting into all the ones who were communists but not taking orders (I doubt if any single anyone was taking orders from hitler and a bunch of nazis took over a whole thing we would just shrug like we do now)
-
if for decades ppl taking orders from hitler were in charge of our biology department and nothing ever happened to them and we just went "well we won the war so thats that I guess" it would be pretty weird
-
no moral implications about our system, no update to history, no soul searching, just shrug and keep skipping along I guess all those evil ppl just gave up and thats that
