it is, and it's not even too hard, because the person and his actual behavior is well in line with his ideas and his accomplishments
there are allegations about him that are way out of line, though.
some of it has to do with people who misunderstand and misrepresent him, even with direct quotes. it's a phenomenon that my daughter calls neurotypism: making assumptions about neurodivergent people under the incorrect assumption that their minds, their thought structures, their context perceptions are like those of neurotypicals
the other has to do with people and organizations that wish to demonize him, some to take his place, some to counter the impact his ideas have on their exploitative businesses
the convenience coalition formed by these three fronts made room for a lie repeated a thousand times to seemingly become truth. but it's still a lie.
which is not to say he's not flawsome, just not in the ways he's monstered by actual monsters.
now, even if the lies were true, it would still be possible to separate the person from the ideas, and it would be smart to do so, because unlike him, at least two of the three fronts don't have the best interests of humankind at heart or in mind when they set out to monster, exclude and ostracize him because of his ideas.
