Grondoth posted:It's an appeal to consistency. At this point, I don't know why anyone expects it to work. Reagan himself said "A few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not." How the gently caress do you talk about being a consistent and good faith actor when they venerate a dude who's famous for saying some complete weaselly bullshit like that? i don't know what's dumber: this excuse or the fact that it actually worked

The replies to that tweet are all "but we shouldn't reject someone out of hand just because of who their ancestors were " and it's like whoa what happened to my goalposts they were right here a second ago I thought we were talking about whether we should immediately coronate a Kennedy as President, not about whether we should deny him service at Dunkin Donuts

in retrospect, this post was so incredibly prescient re: wright's tweetPener Kropoopkin posted:It's essentially the same thing that happened to the Soviet Union, which was bureuacratic ossification. To reach a high place of power in the Soviet Union required building up like a Party CV if you will - if you weren't an original bolshevik or a hero of the Great Patriotic War then you had to build up your credit from an early age by joining the Young Pioneers, which was like the Soviet boy/girl scouts. Then once you were 14 or 15 you could apply to join the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League - and while the Komsomol in itself wasn't a powerful organization it did serve as a vetting mechanism to establish Party loyalty and indoctrination from a young age, which was considered a big requirement for bureaucratic position. General Secretary Andropov himself established his credentials by working as the First Secretary of the Karelian Komsomol during WW2. good job pener kropoopkin
