I was running marketing for a very, very niche think tank when all this was going down. So I was sorta sheltered from the nonsense.

Good lord, what a time.

I remember some of this stuff, but fortunately I wasn’t paying attention to the drama. 👍

I hate that I remeber all this, except of course for the YouTube debates and drama. Important to remember: James Fields literally did nothing wrong

These recaps are a reminder of just how insane things were over that time. A very confusing time to be a young man trying to carve out an identity and find his place in the world. It’s no wonder i had such a hard time from age 18-21ish. Art and music from this time period has already aged horribly tbh.

Also absolutely insane how lenient those sentences were for kidnap and torture. One of the perpetrators didn’t even go to jail.
