1. Acusaciones de Crímenes de Guerra y Responsabilidad Personal.
La mayoría de las reacciones al fallecimiento de Dick Cheney lo describen sin ambages como un “criminal de guerra”, señalando su responsabilidad directa en la invasión de Irak basada en falsas acusaciones de armas de destrucción masiva, así como en la institucionalización de la tortura y la muerte de cientos de miles de civiles.
- He was a war criminal responsible for hundreds of thousands! of iraqi deaths. People dont become saints by dying and his legacy is one of destruction and lies.
- He was a war criminal who profited off the deaths of over 400 soldiers and half a million innocent iraqi civilians. I will spend this day remembering his victims. Those who died because he lied.
- He lied to get us into an 8-year war that killed 40k americans and 200k iraqis, defender of the torture memo, architect of illegal kidnapping of iraqis held for years without charges in guantanamo, supported conditions that brought abu ghraib, and started the police state in dhs. E.v.i.l.
- He was widely considered to be a fucking war criminal who manufactured evidence and lead and illegal invasion into iraq to kill saddam hussein, who he installed in power decades before. Oh and he murdered a little over half a million iraqis to do it.
2. El Legado del Poder Ejecutivo y la Deriva Autoritaria.
Varias voces destacan que su promoción de la teoría del “ejecutivo unitario” sentó las bases para la concentración de poder presidencial que hoy se asocia con el autoritarismo y la erosión de las instituciones democráticas, pavimentando directamente el camino hacia figuras como Trump.
- Hes still a war criminal, we havent been officially been at war since ww2. Every single president since carter has been a war criminal.
- Still blame his actions in pushing the unitary presidency for where we are today not to mention the war crimes but human beings are so damn complicated.
- He, literally, had people grabbed off the streets to be detained and tortured without trial in the name of the war on terror. He expanded state surveillance and pushed for cracking down on dissidents and various minorities.
- He literally expanded the power of the executive branch to get us here. A war criminal, blood on his hands and millions in his pockets as a result of the murder of hundreds of thousands.
3. Rechazo a la Rehabilitación Póstuma y al “Culto al Decoro”.
Una corriente significativa rechaza cualquier intento de “sanitizar” su legado tras su muerte. Critican duramente a los medios y a figuras políticas que celebran su “decencia” o su oposición tardía a Trump, considerando que ello borra su responsabilidad histórica.
- Is it my birthday?? tubes tied and dead war criminal on the same day?? christmas came early?? now do the other fucking war criminals thanks.
- Dont speak ill of the dead is for your aunt who got a potty mouth when she had a few too many wine coolers. Its not for war criminals.
- Im really happy obama did not reward his memory by lowering himself to attend the obsequies of a war criminal.
- This kind of across the aisle posthumous praising of homicidal war criminals cannot die soon enough.
4. Críticas Personales y Anécdotas Simbólicas.
Además de las cargas políticas e históricas, abundan críticas personales: se recuerda su falta de empatía, el incidente en el que disparó a un amigo durante una cacería (y lo obligó a disculparse), y su cercanía con corporaciones bélicas como Halliburton, desde donde se benefició personalmente.
- So the iraq war guy is dead oh yeah he loved torturing people and also shot his friend on a hunting trip what a great guy.
- Apart from shooting a man in the face, i semi-fondly remember how he got his own house removed from google earth. Just an absolute piece of shit even without the war crimes.
- He was greed incarnate and a slimy war profiteer. Thats how ill always remember that foul pile of dna.
- He was also a war criminal who had little to no regard for citizens of foreign countries.
