Here’s their statement and stance. Comments are publicly viewable and interactable by everyone on Lemmy, it’s how this discussion is happening. Seems like all of this should be obvious.

I didn’t come to their defense so much as read your bizarre response and felt like responding, which I am free to do on this forum. The fact that I agree with their view on this issue also isn’t that notable, given that its an incredibly common one for anyone with a modicum of ability to understand past and current events in US history, especially on a leftist leaning platform.
