    So there’s “beliefs” and “true beliefs”. Yet only one of these has real world consequences. It’s cold comfort to the millions killed around the world that the perpetrators don’t truly believe in what they’re doing.

    Yes we just never stop explaining, but while our message goes unheeded and unlearned, we must do what we can to protect the victims and condemn the oppressors.

    These people have the capacity of free will. They are not shambling automatons waiting for new programming with no autonomy or responsibility. You can choose to characterise the worst atrocities you can think of at people just not having enough information or being manipulated. That does not exonerate them.
