minus-squarePugJesus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up20·1 年前If you weren’t charged, but make a legally binding admission of guilt, have you committed a felony? I feel like this is like, something they teach in some extra credit course at law school lmao

minus-squareson_named_bort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 年前I don’t know, I’m not sure William Henry Harrison had time to commit any felonies while president.

minus-squareabbotsbury@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前I see this posted a lot, but the only thing I’ve ever seen sourced of Noam saying anything like this is more “be wary of when the United States reports things that align in its imperial interests” rather than the oft-repeated “genocide good”
minus-squareabbotsbury@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Idk maybe but when I asked for a source what I saw was much more “beware America” instead of “Stalin did nothing wrong”
minus-squareSCB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-21 年前“Beware America for making the Soviet union starve out ethnic Ukrainians they saw as undesirables, which isn’t genocide because I don’t like America” Noam Chomsky, probably.
