Hypothetical: Someone you know unironically, unjokingly says they believe Adolf Hitler was an amazing leader, does it effect your opinion of the person you know?
I know that a percentage of society do in fact believe that and then the numbers are inflated by the edgy comments some people need to make so I wouldn’t be surprised by it. I’m really failing to find a scenario where I would care about someone’s tweet dancing on another’s grave. It’s so common for netizens to pride themselves on being flippant about deaths other than their own.
You’re saying if someone said that, you wouldn’t think more or less of them or their positions?
You’d be neutral to such a declaration in dealing with such a person? Because I would do my weather best never to go near or interact with such a person again if I could help it. I would tend to disregard the opinions of a vocal Hitler fan.
I wouldn’t be like “who cares, Hitler is dead, if you enjoyed accounts of his work, you do you. It will have no bearing on my impression of your policy positions.”

Well if the same ever happens to me, I’ll let you know how it goes down.
