His academic theories were pretty obviously regressive too. It never made any sense to me that he was popular. Then again, his popularity was obviously about something other than actual insights, rabid as his supporters always have been. So I suppose it was never going to make sense.

To chime in as a philosopher, I think part of the issue is that 20th-21st century philosophy never had a solid response to 19th century nihilism. There hasn't really been a solid, post-nihilism conception of truth that is also widely used, leaving room for "everything is subjective" type thinking.

I'd also like to point out that being approving of good things done by bad people is not a bad thing, just as being disapproving of bad things done by good people isn't a bad thing.

Hahaha what? No dude I used a reductio to show your own position leads to an absurd conclusion. The irony was just to emphasize the absurdity.

Don't worry, I don't blame you. I blame your parents.
