  1. I heard that he bought houses for several of his employees and family members on the same street that he lives, and isn't really living in a mansion either despite the ridiculous amounts of money he's pulling in. So i'm willing to believe that he is just a decent guy who found a way to monetize charity while being able to live comfortably off it. All in all a force for good, regardless of his motivations.

  2. I think there's a distinction to be made between inciting hatred and expressing racist views. If you have racist personal views I think you should be able to talk about them without getting instantly deplatformed. Primarily for two purposes. The first being that if you agree with freedom of speech then it looks really bad when you censor someone because they have views you despise. And second: I don't think racism stops because you censor racist people It's an opinion and opinions never change due to censorship. They can only change through interacting with other people who have different opinions and who challenge racist opinions. Inciting hatred is a different act, since it's actively calling for and encouraging violence against people. And so it's more warranted to censor it because once you take the step to encourage violence, you demonstrate that you're not open to discussing views anymore. However this has to also be applied evenly to have any effect. You're not stopping incitement when you only punish white people who incite hatred towards non-whites, while giving free reign to, for example, radical socialists who advocate for violence against "the rich" or Palestinians who advocate for violence against Israeli people or the jews. The ban on incitement has to be a blanket ban on all fronts, regardless of whatever "history" may play in the issue. Furthermore I'm also convinced that the more you censor people with "pededtrian" racist views, the greater the likelyhood that you turn them towards inciting violence in the end. So tl;dr: I don't want to deplatform the racists. I want them to keep talking and having their views challenged in an open forum.
