I'm not really sure what the point of articles like this are, other than to get people angry at each other. Probably to drive clicks, I guess. Can't say I expected much from the magazine that ran the false UVA rape case.
The point of these articles is to be aware of the past so as to avoid the same often repeated mistakes as societies. Especially when he was denounced for advocating peace and against wars and militarism by the mainstream media which seems to be a societal constant like our addiction to forever wars and bombings and economic sanctions.
