Do you think that your current views will be acceptable by the standards of society 20 years from now? 50 years from now? If not, you are basically guaranteeing that on a long enough time scale, you (along with everyone else) will be cancelled. I could see future societies tearing down statues of anyone who ate meat. Or anyone who opposed the legalization of cannabis. Society's morals drift in unpredictable ways. If we choose to judge everyone (past and present) by our current views, we'll never stop tearing down statues and renaming things. The only way to prevent this is to recognize that people are products of the societies they grow up in. If either of us were born in the 1700s, we'd probably think slavery was acceptable. In general, people back then weren't evil, they were mistaken. And you don't punish mistakes by ruining someone's life and legacy, especially if the society around them is the reason for those mistakes. The same should be true for us today.
