Ooooooof they didn’t pick someone who did some light Nazi poo poo either:

quote:

He also suggested that, as well as being a spy for the Nazis, she would have been involved in the torture of suspects, and for all of these activities, she was sentenced to death in absentia. Although Morris sourced black-market petrol for the Nazis, ran a garage for the Luftwaffe, and drove for the Nazi and Vichy hierarchy, Bonnet states that this appears to be the limit of her collaboration - and was in any case what she did before the fall of France - and that no evidence exists to support Ruffin's claim that she was involved either in spying or torturing, but perhaps that she was a suitable scapegoat, especially considering her comments before the war.[12][5] Whether or not it is accurate, her reputation for deriving pleasure from torturing people led her to become known popularly as the "hyena of the Gestapo."[3][4]

I'm not sure why the credo is "always double down" instead of "oops we hosed up." At this point "oops we hosed up" gets it over with way quicker.

On social media, especially Twitter, there seems to be a widespread belief that admitting a mistake is a sign of weakness.

If this person is being genuine and not actually trying to put a collaborator on a pedestal, it's still a really weird thing to post a Nazi Collaborator as an example of Women doing horrible poo poo. I mean hell, post Olga of Kiev for basically firebombing an entire city and then cutting down or enslaving anyone who fled.

You'd think if they actually wanted to make some kind of "women can be bad too" point, they would have actually, y'know, mentioned the bad part instead of incredibly obliquely saying "and then she got killed by the French resistance for some reason".

Morris was genuinely a boundary breaking pioneer for women and queer people. And she was genuinely a monster who tortured people for the Gestapo. Honestly, if she had only been a collaborator she'd still be worth mentioning - she was ruined and blacklisted by France for being an overtly masculine queer woman so really gently caress France. But torturing people for the Gestapo... hard pass.

Apparently we left in the middle of the night, without notifying the Afghan military. Like...at all. We turned the power off and left their guards in the dark to deal with looters who saw the lights go out (and probably knew the schedule). The new base commander found out several hours after we left.

It reminds me of the ARE TROOPS dipshits who consistently get trolled into praising photos of Christopher Dorner or Lee Harvey Oswald on Twitter, except in this case they're doing it to themselves.
