I said me and others, as in general, not specific. People constantly change, that's nothing new. are you telling me you never changed? you never had bad takes/ideas in thepast?!

that aside, while simply dismissing him as "ex-fash" may be reductive or whatever, given his opinions still seem heavily tinted by his past experiences and beliefs, i don't really see the harm in doing so? like it seems to flavor his current mindset pretty heavily, which should not be a controversial thing to suggest

sure, but that's not what I am seeing. All I see is people posting/saying he is "ex fash" without context, just saying it and moving on without making a good argument like that's enough.
