    I remember a reddit-logo lib seething at me when I called John McCain a war criminal (when he was clearly involved in bombing North Vietnam), demanding proof that John McCain himself personally have ever dropped bombs on civilians

      My favorite is when they ask for proof he was racist and you show them the quote where he says “I hate the slurs and probablly will until the day i die” and then they get really mad and say that doesn’t count he’s allowed to think that since they tortured him. (Torturing him for firebombing entire villages of innocent people was deffinitly not ok, but him being racist as a result is)
