He didn’t invent them. He didn’t do jack shit. My opinion isn’t irrelevant. Anytime someone brings up his supposed “achiements” I’ll be happy to bring up how he stole those very achievements. His very colleagues claim he had no involvement and attempted to steal the credit. And he is a racist slime ball. That’s his legacy. Deal with it. He’s racist slime. Bardeen invented my transistor, and if he didn’t, well I’m actually quite happy letting slime like Shockley be lost to history. Why the fuck would anyone defend this guy? Plus he _ran for office_. Einstein didn’t for chirsts sake. This is a man who wanted to actively change racial politics _and_ stole all the credit he got.
