I think under those conditions it would be incredibly rare for someone like that to keep such ways of thinking to adulthood, and it’s another opportunity to learn how to help.

We do have treatment though, that’s education, strong communities, and access to healthcare.

As we are both talking in general, I think malice can be mended, but of course it really depends on what specifically.

I know very well that there are people who want death to those who don’t deserve it. I was so upset when I was having a conversersation with one such person, but I understand that they don’t know any better. Said person only watches Fox “news” and is so entrenched in that propaganda, that manufactured hatred, it may be easy to forget that these people are also being taken advantage of.

Do you see what I mean? Their ignorance allows malice to manifest.

Isn’t that par for the course for right wing folk? It also means that they can be treated, recover, and learn from their wrongdoings.
