"reanimated zombie Hitler is bad and shouldn't be invited to speak at your conference"
I agree with this statement. Even if you are hosting a conference of historians addressing the occult beliefs of Nazi Germany, don't invite reanimated zombie Hitler, or anyone who could be mistaken for him.
And I will go further and say that there are certain political opinions -- that "race" among humans is an objectively real thing, rather than a social construct; that it's ok to deprive people of rights because of their beliefs, ancestry, gender, sexuality -- which are sufficiently abhorrent that actively advocating for them in any context is sufficient for me to not invite you to anything, ever.
