this is such a weird line of "attack"

jakyl is saying these things now. does it somehow not count unless he can provide evidence he said it before? why not?

He is trying to say it "now" to rationalize his nonsense that he does on the other side regularly.

I would say it about Obama too! But I do regularly about Bush but never actually about Obama!

He preaches. He doesn't actually follow what he is preaching though. He felt by rationalizing it he could make it not a specific political spectrum but his superior morality argument.

...But it checks out?

I'm telling you, while it was a fringe position only really held by the furthest left on the spectrum, the idea that the US's use of military (and psuedo-military like intelligence agency coups) to meddle in other countries to support its own interests amounted to war crimes was a thing there.

Jakyl would self-identify as being far to the left and you yourself are calling him a radical... like this all checks out by your own words? Did he say it in this topic series? Hell if I know, these started up around the 2016 primaries/election and while we range on a decently broad set of US political issues we obviously kind of missed the prime timeframe for commenting/critiquing the Obama administration.

All I've been trying to tell you was that if you looked into what the left talked about (not the mainstream/traditional Democrats, yes) you'd be aware that these arguments and views existed and so the idea that Jakyl held them too shouldn't shock you given your own characterization of him.

I can only conclude that by being unable to see this you never actually tried to look at what the left thought, even if you took a look and personally felt "whoa that's crazy talk yall"
