from what I’ve heard from “genetically modified skeptic” (someone who grew up in an isolated fundamentalist christian community with homeschooling and now has changed and makes youtube videos about his experiences) the indoctrination is so serious and deep that many can’t escape it even as an adult, even with mountains of evidence, even when it would be to their benefit to drop old beliefs, and so i believe it’s not really their fault if they turn out to be hateful and dangerous people. even if they were at fault, i still don’t necessarily want people to die for misguided beliefs. I’m still debating whether that kind of compassion should also work for people like trump, vance, kirk, thiel, musk, etc. but imo it should work for regular religious fanatics.
