You shouldn't cancel historical figures for saying things that most other people in their time also believed. Otherwise your cancellation algorithm reduces to: cancel writers.

One of the main reason I follow you Paul is your ability to synthesize ideas in very very shor sentences. This dialogue between you and Tuna said everything. We can close the subject. One short question, one short answer.

Again is an important word in tuna’s question. We canceled all those we hated and got what we wanted. Why cancel again? Plebeians don’t understand the machinations of the erudite.

Jefferson is inseparable from VA, his contributions should be acknowledged, but his statue doesn’t need to be on every corner. There is grey here.
