The same thing happens with Musk. I hate Musk as much as the next guy, I am anything but a fanboy and I don't have or want a Tesla. Still it is delusional and childish to insist that Tesla and SpaceX would have been just have successful without him.
I read something like "the internet has killed nuance" and it's so true. Could terrible people also be successful businessmen? Nope! All good or all bad any anyone who says anyone in between is blinded by their adoration.
- WalterBright 3y ago> I hate Musk as much as the next guy I really don't understand this meme. If you want people who deserve hate, the history books are full of them.
- xp84 3y agoJust based on politics alone, many people feel morally obligated to hate him now because he's decided to hang his hat on one particular side of the toxic US political system. And as addicted as he is to attention and pop culture relevance, he can't stop attracting ire by doubling down on every hot take he has.
- WalterBright 3y agoThat may be reason to dislike him, but is a pretty weak reason to hate him.
- echelon 3y ago> I really don't understand this meme. If you want people who deserve hate, the history books are full of them. 100%. I see more people saying they hate Musk and Zuckerberg than I see people who say they hate Hitler or even modern authoritarian rulers and mass murderers. I think social media has made us all more sensitive, cranky, and judgmental. It's a recent phenomenon. We used to hate bin Laden. Now we hate CEOs, celebs, and social media personalities.
- tcmart14 3y agoI mean, to be honest, Bin Laden and Hitler are dead. They don't cause major change on the world any more through their actions alone.
