No, because it takes priority over the question of truth or falsity, and it outweighs everything else the person has done. Regardless how positive its impact has been.

Separate the artist from his art, and all this bullshit. That's the usual neolib reasoning, nothing new. Capitalists historically never had a problem with Fascism, only posturing.

Oh, like when some random person who is just trying to get by is subjected to slurs based on some aspect of their identity.
I could take the argument you made in a parallel thread and say that people who feel upset at being labeled fascist or racist or sexist could just choose not to be offended. Why is the question of truth/falsity suddenly so important when it impacts them, whereas it's irrelevant when they wish to make satirical/ironic statements that may or may not impact others?
