I agree with some parts of what you say, but this:

They are still perpetrators and wrongdoers but they are also victims and have had wrong done to them.

Feels like whitewashing criminals. Yes the guys may not have had the resources nor the wake up call before joining but so what? does that excuse any of them from going half a world away to participate in a genocide? or more recently does any of that excuse them from killing innocent fishermen in the coasts of Venezuela/Colombia? fuck no.

Holy mother of technology, this sounds too good to be true but there is a paper on it so…

I still can’t believe it lol, well now we know for a fact that China is ahead in the AI race.

Be a bro to him. My lil bro had a short lived “right winger phase”, he was going on the South American manosphere rabbit hole, I started spending more time with him and softly correcting his ‘positions’ never letting go of harmful bullshit but always trying to listening to him and letting him speak his mind. Then college started and he met his new friends (male and female) and now he’s well adjusted (or at least not manosphere-adjusted).

So basically include him in social activities, call bullshit where bullshit should be called, trust him and let the normal socialization hammer down the worst of his positions.

First of all, Charlie deserved it.

However gotta admit, my first thoughts were along these lines. It took me to see the reactions of the right wing pundits in my country to go full party mode just to spite those fuckers.

I’d forgotten I had an account here, anyways this is nice.
