Very true, we murder people all the time in the US when they do something horrific enough for us to dole out that punishment. Lots of everyday people are convinced it’s okay to do so.
It should. Too often though the victims of manipulation are also manipulated into believing other people telling the truth are lying or people trying to help are actually the ones manipulating the victim. Cognitive dissonance is a real thing. It’s like if someone believes the earth is flat because they were manipulated into believing that, along with being told the evil government is hiding the flat earth truth from them. Then, if the government offers irrefutable proof that the earth is round, the victim might categorically dismiss that proof as propaganda. This further drives them into this manipulation. And it can make it even harder to get through to them.

Hitler got many people to believe that murder is right when it’s done to specific people. Did that make it right? Of course not.
I think every nation offers that argument, not just Hitler.

Exactly.
If you had evidence that you are a victim of manipulation, it shakes your certainty.
Shouldn’t it?
