This is a post about a public figure who was extremely public about their absolutely horrible views. Not addressing that would be weird.

And I was responding to a comment that suggested avoiding that by saying that we shouldn't. Hardly random.

As for US politics - it's quite obvious that ignoring or tolerating racism and xenophobia has lead to more bigots and assholes feeling comfortable expressing their views publicly. I think we should shame them out of the public sphere again. That includes talking about someone's abject vileness when they die, like with Scott Adams.

You, on the other hand, bring up a random unrelated website. Which is random?

There's no unpolitical, never was. To be quiet is an implicit endorsement of the status quo.

You would prefer that, noted. But many would not.

You're not accurately describing things. You're just upset others are. It's not their fault Scott Adams was a racist.
