    Can we just admit men are inherently bad? I hate trump, but I feel like maybe I only think I do but in reality, deep down, I am a fascist

      Yeaaaah, not a good idea to completely ostracize any group of people over things they couldn’t choose. Especially not one that comprises roughly half of all people.

          I would disagree on both. They are conditions. Not every pedo goes and hurts children and not every sociopath turns into a serial killer. With sociopaths these often do important stressfull jobs lile surgeons since they can handle the stress better and dont break on the things they see

          Reasonable people also agree that unless they have done something, rather than just be something, they’re fine.

              Assuming they’ve never done anything egregious in the past, yeah. Anything else is a thought crime and prejudiced, and not a system good for a government.

                  Yes. People cannot help what they are. They can help what they do. That’s the difference. I don’t care what someone thinks or believes, that’s between them and themselves. Maybe God, if you’re a believer.

                  What I care about is what people do. Every person has vile things they WANT to do, impulses they choose not to act on. None of us are purely innocent in our own heads. As long as it stays there, there’s no reason to condemn someone.

      You’re not a fascist! Even if you are, you can help fight against fascism. But the fact that you are here and calling out fascism, I believe you can break the cycle.
