> What matters is what people end up doing. Sure, I agree. My point is that we need to get people to notice that they're on a slippery slope to doing bad things and stop. And that this is easier if they admit to themselves the possibility that they might end up doing bad things. As you note, during WWII there were people who noticed and stopped. I just wish more had.
