Yeah let's all be open minded and accept Hitler as the visionary he really was instead of shaming him for the few bad things he did that were considered immoral by society.
This has nothing to do with open mindedness or equality. There is something called moral. It's a thing that humanity bases a lot of stuff on and something that is constantly changing. Not everybody likes it but we all have to deal with it because of the pressure of society.
People love to attack other people that don't conform to the mainstream morals because that makes them seem part of society, which is all every individual wants.
This is nothing new. It's caused wars and revolutions all over history. People today will say it has changed the world for the better while people of yesterday will say it is harmful. Problem is, you have to always side with the people of today or you will be the social outcast.
If there was actual objectivity or equality people would have the right to live by their own morals but they can't because laws are based on a particular set of morals that are molded by today's society. If you don't agree you are pretty much fucked.
Which brings us to the CEO. He practiced his right of free speech and after that everyone else did theirs. Problem again being that the other people had today's mainstream morals on their side. So he had to concede.
Simple Story. Nothing to get worked up about. He was not the first or the last individual screwed by morals.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
