    role model

    One can recognize an obvious political persecution regardless whether or not they like a person.

        It’s not a bot. I’ve seen them comment on image based posts and can get the context correct.

        I don’t feel it’s a troll, I feel they’re really just in deep.

        I find it fascinating, and I like to think in self-aware enough to know I could be in deep in other things. I took the approach here to be understanding and try to point out some fallacies.

        In hindsight I should have picked up on there against the establishment line and pointed out some more suitable figures that are fighting the status quo who aren’t also predators.

        I don’t believe we can’t help people rethink something they’re so invested in without being kind to an extent. It can be difficult to admit you’re wrong at times, imagine admitting everything you have pinned your identity on is wrong or your idol or person you looked up to was a scumbag. The duality of people I guess.

      No. If someone is guilty of these crimes. Then charge them. Whether you’re my idol or not.

      I don’t have double standards for people of my tribe or people I like more.

      Edit: to be abundantly clear. The vast majority of the world isn’t aware of his existence. Therefore there isn’t much reason to silence him. I know at times it can seem like the things we are into are bigger than they are, but they really are at times. Take Lemmy, not many people I know irl has heard of it, but it’s a large part of my life. As someone with ADHD this becomes abundantly clear when you unload all you’ve learned about something to someone and you’re met with ah nice.
