    I watched a documentary recently about a former skin head who was getting his tattoos removed because he hated them because he didn’t believe that stuff anymore. I don’t remember his age, but he had to be in his 30s.

    You don’t “grow out of it” but you can learn that you were wrong. I’m not saying that anyone should support pewdeepie, but it should be encouraged when people change their views like that. Even if he’s being dishonest, it should be encouraged that he’s telling others it’s wrong, and also that it’s more beneficial to not do that.

    The goal should not be revenge, it should be less hate. Revenge only puts us further away from what we supposedly want.

      if anyone wanted revenge on him, it would be extremely easy for someone to find him and do him harm. stop trying to make cancel culture against white men a real thing. Felix is one of the richest YouTubers in the world. if the reality you’re painting actually existed, he’d be bankrupt by now and deplatformed.

      let’s stop acting like Nazis need to be personally hugged and kissed on the forehead until they stop being violent

        Where did I say that? I just said revenge doesn’t gain us anything if it prevents people from becoming less asshole, or spreading that behavior.

        Let’s stop acting like former Nazis are just as bad as existing ones. Unless you’re going to kill him, shut the fuck up. He exists and is going to use his platform, whether you like it or not. I’d rather it not be used to promote Nazism.
