Ryan Hall is not a fan of cancel culture.
The UFC featherweight appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast to share his thoughts on social media and its role in nuanced debates and discussions between varying opinions. During the discussion, Hall made a bizarre reference to Adolf Hitler when explaining that cancel culture “doesn’t incentivize proper behaviour.”
“Let’s take one of the great monsters from history, Adolf Hitler, obviously who’s done awful, awful things, but also for anyone who’s even a minor student of history, did some positive things as well,” Hall said (h/t RT Sports) “I don’t have to embroider this person’s crimes, I don’t have to act as if there was nothing good a monster has ever done and nothing bad that a great person throughout history has ever done.
