Aimee Terese thinks Donald Rumsfeld was Dick Cheney; Jeet Heer thinks Kant and Calhoun are on the same intellectual spectrum. The bar for being knowledgable online is low.
Again, you're arguing with claims I never made (that Kant is "first and foremost....a biological racist.") Can you focus on what I wrote and not what you think I wrote?

Every other figure on the list except Kant is known primarily by the layperson for having heinous political or racial views. A list of racist and/or fascist thinkers would include those figures; a list of philosophers with certain heinous views would include Kant, Mill, Rousseau.pic.twitter.com/nre8Q3f6YA

In fact, Charles Mills in the original article by Applebaum mentions Kant and Rousseau as people within the tradition who have many views he opposes and blind spots he thinks we need to be mindful and critical of, and includes them in the tradition he *locates himself within*.
