I saw the documentary White Right recently. It taught me to see white nationalists as angsty teens going through a “fuck the world” stage. The main differences are (1) they never grew out of it, and (2) as adults, they’ve linked up into an awkward club.

A teenage “fuck the world” attitude can be pretty ugly too. But it doesn’t have political teeth, so we just roll our eyes while extending empathy to the person behind it.

I agree. I also think this applies to every single bad ideology ever thought into existence. Humans are redeemable and even excusable sometimes. Bad Ideologues are not.
