I don't follow Shkreli closely but him sexually harassing journalist Lauren Duca (he still continues to do this: "when I'm acquitted, I'm going to fuck Lauren Duca") makes him very much not a "man of the people in the truest sense".

He's a troll. Inflammatory speech is what he does.

What's not manly about that? I'd fuck Lauren too. Granted, I might not tweet it out quite like that, but yeah.

You don't get to determine morality based off someone's speech, only off their actions.

Until they actually fuck, it's that big of a deal. People that complain about mean things online were recently attacking people with dangerous weapons the other day. I have become suspicious of most people who want to gatekeep other people, it's usually a signal that they have no respect for the concept of personal property and human rights.

Speech is an action, I'm not sure why that isn't obvious.

Your denial of it, and the weird generalizations you're making, make me think you're not actually open to rethinking any of this. Oh well.
