Very good person

he was also probably bisexual, something he himself had to suppress at the time so he wasn't being hypocritical or overstating the risk.

i think an important thing to remember is the african warlord who covered himself in the blood of his victims to make himself invisible to his enemies and slaughtered men, women and children indiscriminately is a better person and positively a pacifist compared to even the "best" billionaire. in the end, he only can kill with his own hands. they have vast resources to kill on a scale he could never even dream of.

I think Grant gets a lot more poo poo than he deserves (due in a large part to the fact that the South rewrote the narrative and made him out to be an incompetent butcher) but holy poo poo was he terrible at knowing who not to trust.

They could just not teach you that he existed; but this way you were inoculated against wanting to learn more. See also: Helen Keller, Upton Sinclair, Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, less successful attempts at doing this with MLK and Malcolm X. Anyone whose ideas the establishment would like to see suppressed, instead of avoiding talking about them, they are specifically included in either the vaguest terms or for one thing they did without mentioning the undesired parts.

Drop the name, associate it with some unimportant but interesting facts, spurious bullshit, or at best a bloodless birds-eye view, then move on. I don't need to learn more, I just Dunning-Krugered my way into the establishment worldview.

The consistency with which socialists, anti-racists, and anyone else who makes a name for themselves speaking or acting against systems of oppression get dismissively included in education convinces me that it is not an accident.

Come to think of it this seems conceptually related to the limited hangout.
