    I don’t hate people for immutable characteristics

    So why shoot Nazis if that is mutable and we can help them to change?

      Because you can spend your whole life telling nazis to act like decent compassionate people, and you won’t change the mind of a single one. Don’t waste your life, waste them instead.

        your whole life telling

        That’s true for everything. Nobody wants to be told. It takes human interaction to change a mind.

          Telling isn’t a human interaction? Are you really going to use a semantics argument to defend nazi shitfucks?

            It’s not semantics. People have their own reasons to do things. They know that others reject them and informing them once more that somebody considers them wrong doesn’t change anything.

            To change somebody, they need a new insight that makes them reevaluate their preferences.
