minus-squareMechKit@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·2 days agoNot idolizing anyone has saved me so much grief. I have been upset many times (I once went to see Bill Cosby live), but never heartbroken.
minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·2 days agoThat’s a good attitude to have. I certainly have historical and current figures I respect and look up to, though, and would be quite upset if I found out they were as bad as Chomsky. Thankfully I never had a Zizek phase.
