I really hate how much Leftist are pushing the "most nazis and alt right are groomed into it and so are blameless victims".

This is flawed for a few reasons.

I don't think it's true but even if it was, people are still accountable for their actions and beliefs.
I've seen boys who were 15 and men who were 25 and all ages inbetween make the choices to go towards alt right and even nazi beliefs.

Not because they were groomed, but because it appealed to them and the hatred they had, that they chose to let grow.
People saying, "most times they are groomed", most times that I saw it was guys who started feeling angry with women. For not giving them the attention they deserved.

Then the World for not recognizing them for their talents.

Then that would lead to racism.
Like Black people and Jewish people were taking the recognition that they deserved.

It's really a matter of entitlement that causes people to gravitate to these beliefs.

And I can't put into words how horrifying it is that Leftists are denying that that entitlement is a problem
I also think it's not helping anyone to recover and change by pushing the idea they were all powerless over their choices.

Part of recovery is accountability. Recognizing that, yes, many parts of life are out of our control. But, we aren't powerless victims. We do make choices.
Being taught racism or antisemitism at a young age is not some experience that is incomparable to any other. It is like unlearning abusive behaviors that people are taught at a young age

It requires acknowledging how your behaviors harm others and that they don't have to forgive
