if the community you choose to become part of involves genocide - it’s still a choice one makes to become part of it. are you trying to say someone who actively helps a genocide can be reformed in such a manner that the stain of their choices can be forgotten by those who were victims?
No
I’m saying that I believe there’s Nazis that didn’t become Nazis because they just wanted the Jews gone but because they felt like they had nowhere to go. At least if you listen to some ex-nazis that found their way out from the funnel of hatred and loneliness.
This obviously doesn’t forgive any crimes committed or the hatred spewed, but Nazis are still humans and thus not a homogen mass driven to hate by the same reasons
edit: this is of course true for all hate driven groups. If you can’t find companions who loves, there’s always company in hate
