And why are we even consenting to this user inserting an arbitrary recency rule? The nation states of today stand atop the atrocities of their past. I don’t give my country a pass on indigenous genocide or chattel slavery just because they happened before I was born. Quite the opposite, they’re fundamental to the nation state that encloses me today. Nationalism is fucking gross, individuals are distinct from the states that lay claim to them and shouldn’t be confusing their own honor for that of the state, a trap I feel this user has fallen into.
