No, there is a subtlety to the man's work. He knew only fear and hate as a young man and he was able to capture that. I will never properly know the level of fear and hate he felt you know? So it is an intresting perspective. Like all people full of fear and hate he had unfortunately views. It is a shame we never really got to see his output after the woke mind virus got him and he turned into a possibly trans comunist
