I 100% agree with your last paragraph in particular, Luigi is a natural consequence more than anything else. I am not condemning his actions either, just refusing to lionize him as that places himself and thus his reactionary views and adventurism over the real and practical unity going on right now.

As for a lack of appreciation for AES, I try to devote a good chunk of time to combatting myths and contextualizing them because it's such an important fight for showing that we can do better.
