I don't see how us being against nazis is incompatible with thinking that we could have ended like them in their shoes

I think there are certain "turning points" in a person's life where they either go down a dark road or they don't. I definitely had a point in my 20s where the far right seemed tempting but I didn't go there, it's the easy option, actually learning about the world is harder. I reserve my right to judge people who did.
