bruh do you people think every widespread historical culture with horrific norms was exclusively populated with sociopaths? I grew up in a culture with many kind, wonderful people who also believed women were mentally inferior and should be stay at home housewives.

You'd rather marry: A) someone who is extremely kind, empathetic, honest, and loyal, but believes that Germany and Japan were the good guys of WW2, their misdeeds greatly exaggerated B) someone average on personal morality, but who has conventional political views (h/t anon)

You now reference “historical culture”, but the original question (I think) implied a present-day person who believes Nazis were good. To come to that belief in the present day you’d really have to seek it out, it’s not a common upbringing (unlike eg misogyny)

sure, but the person who submitted the og question referenced China as an example of a place where they met wonderful people who also held beliefs he found horrific. Historical is an easy way to say other, but there's absolutely other cultures on earth today who fit this.

Bruh do you realize that we have historical precedent for people being easily influenced and lead by said sociopaths? It's very easy to just say, "I grew up around bigots and often times enjoyed their company in my adult life."

Yeah basically all cultures after agriculture had sociopathic leaders, sociopathy is a necessity to reach the upper ladders of power, the mechanism of constant life and death machiavellian intrigue selects for that

I am going to go with the second one because I can't stand fascists, and we'd be completely incompatible since I don't fit their ideals.

If those are the values of the time, it's very difficult for people to be otherwise. When new information is available but you don't assimilate it, that is a signal for something People continue to believe women are inferior and should stay home, in modern world, are not kind
