His perspective may be somewhat racist and xenophobic and that's not 'cool', but it can't be discounted as a factor. It shouldn't prevent change, but whilever a significant amount of people hold to a certain viewpoint that viewpoint has to be respected. Yeeting your way through simply doesn't cut it. There was a point where this guy could have been stopped before he started simply by people listening to him and accepting that their progressive change had negative consequences. Recent real world parallels apply.
