    There is zero difference between Nazis and people who espouse Nazi views.

    Internal justifications are worth jack shit outside your own mind.

      I’d say there’s one narrow exception for people who espouse Nazi views in order to infiltrate and undermine the Nazis.

      That’s outside the scope of the question though.

    There seems to be an assumption built into this question that genuinely holding beliefs that harm others is worse than simply promoting harmful beliefs for money. I’m not sure I agree with that or not but the latter definitely doesn’t make someone worthy of forgiveness.

      Doing it for money is worse because it’s 100% selfish motivation.

      Doing it for ideology means they’re trying to make the world a better place, but have a warped morality.

    Well, hypothetically, if he shoved an entire pineapple backwards up his own ass I might entertain the thought of forgiving him for a fraction of a second before demanding he shove another, hypothetically.

    Forgive him? I don’t watch his content now and I never would. My forgiveness would be irrelevant to him, and a waste of my emotional energy for no gain.

    The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s apathy, blah de blah catchphrase. I am apathetic about Walsh.

    Nothing at all. In fact, that would make it even worse because he’s a traitor to his own people on top of everything else.

    And let’s say, also hypothetically, that he really wished a trans girl would kiss him…

        ‘pan’ might describe me I mean the real Matt Walsh better all things considered, but I don’t care much for rigid labels
