    I mean, yeah. But I don't wanna pull a "product of their time" schtick. We can just admit that the guy may have been awful personally while making important political contributions. Issue with the founding fathers isn't that they were personally asshole, their assholery was political in nature. Owning slaves on stolen land isn't a personal failing.

      oh for sure, all i meant is that we've got PLENTY of men born a hundred years later who are just as bad or worse (AND they're not liberating anyone while being shitty), so picking at stuff like this is just asinine

        Sorry sweaty, if your historical figure doesn't exactly follow modern standards of western liberal morality then you're canceled alongside them! Communism owned maybe-later-honey
