Literally no. The first group of people is exactly what you're describing.
Literally yes, they explicitly say the history buff still shouldn't be trusted.
Literally no. They do not say a history buff shouldn't be trusted. They say do not drop your guard when getting to know them initially. This is a pretty safe and reasonable course of action for getting to know any human. History buff is irrelevant to that statement.
Literally no. They said don't trust people who understand something that you don't.
Crazy, considering the words that precede them are they are likely safe.
If you think that's trust you're a broken human being.
Nah I am pretty sure we all know what you were saying. Go ahead and backtrack some more, it is amusing how you are aborting your own position.
Hyperdefensiveness looks really bad. We all like stuff that has terrible fan bases. I'm into anime/manga/manhwa, video games, and I do enjoy history and learning from it. I so know many people who share the same description who are straight up nazis, misogynists, incels, etc.
If this is like the MIAC report, where it noted data on both right wing and left wing domestic terrorists and some of their tendencies. For left wing it mentioned environmentalists, socialists, communists etc. For right wing it mentioned 2A, Ron Paul, sovereign city, tax protestors etc.
In no way for either side did it say that having those tendencies was the same as being a terrorist, just that they tend to have those interests. Right wing grifters and broadcasters lost their fucking .inds to the point this fact based report had to be retracted.
If you can't acknowledge your interests have terrible fan bases as well as good and upstanding ones, it makes you look like the terrible one angry at being called out.
Wow, you are amazing at missing the point. So let's ask this, are there any people who like the same things as you that are horrible people? I'll answer for me, you betcha. Are there people who like the same things as me who are better people than me? Again yes.
Can you say the same? Can you acknowledge that?
You are arguing with a troll. Save your effort. Every single comment of theirs on this post is low effort nonsense or open harassment. Just block them and move on with your life.
