Yeah, things like this present an emotional nexus where you’re pulled in many different directions and there is no “right” or “wrong” way to feel, only useful and not useful. All these things are true at once, and it’s up to each person to decide how to proceed with it. I personally choose to embrace the “lol he dead” angle because I view it as the most pragmatic for me, but i won’t disparage anyone who doesn’t, as long as they don’t go down the harmful lib path of wishful whitewashing.
well said. i don’t wanna be the one to go “LMAO sucks to suck loser” about all this but i won’t pretend to mourn either. he’s dead. okay. he was a bad person and his life’s work led to a fascist party coming to power. he had kids and a wife and was a father of questionable quality. that’s that, i s’pose.
