It's absurd to act like there's a list of people comparable to Hitler who we nonetheless still recognize as authors despite their deeds. Nobody is as recognized

It's absurd to act like there's a list of people comparable to Hitler who we nonetheless still recognize as authors despite their deeds. Nobody is as recognized for their crimes against humanity, no books by other genocidal/empirical figures are nearly as noteworthy, and the intersection between those two lists leaves only Hitler.

- delecti 5y agoThat's an excellent example. I still feel comfortable asserting that there is an extremely small intersection between genociders and people significantly known for having written a book, but you're right to point out that it's not solely Hitler.
