Fair, I read the “should die” as “should be fought, and ultimately killed if necessary” rather than “should be rounded up and massacred.” I do think that the notion that people can change is more often used to excuse the bad deeds of unrepentant people than to actually redeem someone. Sure, people can change, and if they do, great, but if you avoid fighting them because you’re always holding out for a change that will never come, then you’re losing the chance you have to make real change.
I feel like to fight bigotry, you have to force them to be exposed to the truth. Like, force them live in inclusive communities, cut their old connections, let them build deep personal relationships with the people they hate.
It might sounds extreme, but that’s how faux news got them brainwashed in their little town at first place.
