He was iconic. But also he was a terrible human.

        peter thiel wasn't harassed, he was outed. within the gay community there have been plenty in favor of outing.

        Elon did have a lot of people fooled up until inauguration. Did Thiel ever disguise his white supremacist views though?

        The left doesn't hate him for his electric vehicles. What are you smoking?

        Can you explain this? Why would they be in favour of outing someone against their will? I’m genuinely curious because on the surface it seems very cruel.
        owebmaster 1y ago
        It's not cruel at all if the person outted is one of the most powerful people in the world

he was known as a master politician i think it's a bit unfair to judge him on some things he said privately to a friend. i've said a lot of things privately in my life that i would disown. but yeah he did a lot of bad things to a lot of people over the years according to some books i read.

  I think it’s absolutely fair to judge a person as a whole. It’s part of who they were. I heard Keanu Reeves anonymously donated millions to cancer charities. It’s private. Should we not include this in our assessment of his character? Or are we just excusing disgusting racism/sexism because Hogan did it with an inside voice?

    - archerx 1y ago
      Yea, if it was truly private we would not know about it. It’s 2025 and people are still falling for PR firm tricks.

    If it is private, how do you know about it? It certainly is not private anymore, if it was any real to begin with.

  >i think it's a bit unfair to judge him on some things he said privately to a friend. I think it must be nice to think private racist thoughts expressed so regularly are just fine. Usually this kind of thinking is because the person can't ever imagine being affected by racism. I wonder how many people throughout his career he refused to work with, didn't hire, went after, because of their skin color. People aren't famously racist without ever expressing it.

Also millions of lies. Don't forget the lies. If Hulk Hogan is talking, he's lying.

blah blah blah. Speak for yourself. I'll miss him, probably along with many others, as a cultural piece of my childhood, adolescence and for years still there as a curious part of a changing adult world. If we judged every human being in history by these nebulously stupid standards, there'd be nobody left to like.

  There are plenty of people left to like who aren't racist and misogynist. It's okay to update your worldview of your heroes when they behave badly.
  - AlexeyBelov 1y ago
    Look at this user's comments in other threads. They won't update their worldview.
    - southernplaces7 1y ago
      On the contrary. My worldview has been and still is shaped by an ever changing learning curve of the world's nature. That includes being flexible enough to show some affection even for that which doesn't fit rigorous dogmas of conduct. Can you say the same about your labels?
  - southernplaces7 1y ago
    And there are plenty of people who can still be liked, or appreciated at least, who also were racist and misogynist, or whatever other moral defect you like. It's okay to show affection for someone who didn't perfectly fit the strictures of what a specific type of virtue signalling labels as correct.

  > nebulously stupid standards You should listen to the racist recording. It wasn't nebulous, it was clearly and explicitly racist. Most people think he went way too far. This isn’t a case of subtle racism where people might be overreaching; what he said was awful. Sorry you can't outgrow your childhood, but you should come to terms that the man you idolized was a shitty person.
