You can like a riff from their #1 hit without liking their whole discography, or even the rest of the song.
Ah, the "But you have to give it to the Nazis" argument.
Unironically a good comparison.
Nitrogen synthesis? Arguably one of the most life-saving inventions of all time. But also the basis for gas chambers.
I can celebrate the invention of synthetic fertilizer while also condemning Fritz Haber and Nazis in general.
A Red Sea blockade in protest of the Gaza genocide is a great idea. It’s a shame that the only group willing to do it is doing it recklessly and doesn’t have a moral leg to stand on otherwise either.
Fritz Haber? The man who invented the revolutionary process in 1918, long before the Nazis even existed, resigned immediately once they came into power, and tried to emigrate to Palestine to help the Jewish people there?
Don't slander his name by associating him with the Nazis.
I think those might be important factors to consider.
