@PhilosophyExp So she could be nice to people sometimes. Most people hate her policies, not her person.
@petehague My experience is that lots of people hate *her* and her policies. You should see some of the reaction I'm getting to my tweets...

@PhilosophyExp …so its understandable that she is hated - but as a politician, not as the frail old woman she ended up as. -
@petehague But again, many people aren't making the distinctions you're making. It's just visceral hatred - pleasure at a person's death.
-
@PhilosophyExp If people want to frame their criticism of her legacy in hatred of her person, doesn't make them wrong, just human. -
@petehague That's a false dichotomy. Human & wrong. I say all this as somebody who (literally) partied when she was thrown from power.
-
@PhilosophyExp I'm not saying its morally ideal, I'm saying that its understandable - and clearly cathartic.
