To me this is similar to studying classical music but skipping Wagner because he was literally a Nazi.



"Literally" doesn't mean what you think it means.


"Literally", in the view of those doing the skipping, not the post author, is my interpretation.


Thanks for this. I thought either my music history was off by a century, or the Nazi party started way earlier than I thought.


I think you're overlooking an obvious middle ground.
