Say what you will about Stalin, but he really did win World War II and liberate his people from the yoke of fascism. Say what you will about the Kim family, but they really stood up to the world’s greatest superpower and held their own. Say what you will about Pol Pot, but he gave everyone an appreciation for rural life.

People, if you’re going to start a sentence hero worshipping an asshole with “say what you will”, you have to realise that anyone can be lionised, no matter how they are. No one with any sense thinks Elon Musk is a good person and you’re not convincing anyone with your “say what you will”.
