    It was a long time ago but I think it was probably related to the ongoing Palestinian genocide and wound back around to WW2 and the interment and mass murder of Jewish and other groups. So then back around to the Bolshevik revolution and programs. Don’t worry yourself too much over it, sometimes we both get way overinvested in internet political discussions. I still recognize the very valuable contributions you make to raising awareness and appreciate your work. I also don’t think you’re a bad person, just human like the rest of us.

      Thanks likewise. I might be wrong about Yugoslavia btw, I’ve read chapters of the book (and some other stuff some time ago) but and my knowledge on it isn’t that deep. I also watched the BE video and the BE video still seems to hold up, it’s not denying Parenti book but just adding additional important context. But I’ve already got enough stuff going on along with my posting so I don’t really feel like reading the entire history of the Bosnian war so if I’m wrong on this one I’ll just take the L.

        You’re welcome and thank you. I have a deep respect for you. I could be misremembering as well, we’re human, it happens. And we both have lives outside the internet, and should be able and allowed to live them abundantly, and in peace. May it be so, forevermore.

        I wouldn’t count it as an L, either way. While it may temporarily embarrass our egos, perhaps we learn and grow more by learning where we are mistaken, plus it helps us to stop/not lead others amiss.

        Namaste, if you catch my drift. 🙏❤️🫂
