To those who think he was a freedom fighter, I'd like genuinely like to hear your reasoning. Even if he was a successful business leader, do you at least acknowledge his extreme anti-semitism and Nazi sympathies? And if so, what is your rationale for ignoring those? Just curious.
The same reason we all ignore negative qualities in people we like: we feel like it, and life is a lot easier that way.
Fair enough, although I'd argue it's better to acknowledge the negative aspects as well since it allows us to take a more balanced view of the individual.
