I kind of regard the situation as a “critical support” sort of thing. These sorts of “dubious person does something good” situations are generally where the concept is applied, aren’t they?

no one is asking for that. they're just asking people to stop inventing a redemption arc for this dude so they can justify riding him into the sunset

he did something cool. that's all. treating him as a hero is goofy shit

And even if he did have questionable takes, we can't even be sure the guy was even the real shooter and not just a patsy

I just treat it like this:

action is as leftist as whacking ex-PM Abe

person is as rightist as Ted K. until he proves himself recently otherwise

because you're doing a tailsism when you should be doing a sonicism or something idk i block anyone that tells me to read
