It makes you wonder, if he grew up under radically different circumstances, if he'd have been an okay guy. Anytime I feel a tinge of sympathy for an overall bad person, I wonder.

I mean yeah, depending on which way they were different, for sure. Material conditions and that. No baby is born fascist.

Of course. He's not genetically evil. Essentialism is bad. He grew up in the most cold hearted, disgusting, bourgeois circumstances at the heart of capital and just kept going with it.

It's in fact another damning argument against capitalism and patriarchy. It produces evil in people as a byproduct.
