Sauce? I read through several posts on the blog and didn’t find what you’re talking about

You must have done a poor job reading them.

I'll leave you with this facepalm read.

But that first half is a reminder (to myself) that not everyone deserves constant good will or benefit of the doubt. Folks like Kissinger definitely would have gleefully eradicated Haiti (if not turned into a plantation-as-country) and folks who hold offsets of his ideals do not need to be given any sort of grace.

If you think his writing is any of what you posit, then I’d recommend taking a look in the mirror to search for your humanity.

It does. Most of us don't go around writing essays rationalizing how we treat others like shit, and framing basic decency in daily interactions as "expending of energy", and then make it believe everyone else should just be ok with this.

It's a colossal red flag. Then the racist rants make it all the worst.

Don't take my word for it. Perhaps take the hiring managers' word?

Sorry I didn’t cherry pick the fifth to last essay?
