Since they described him as “young,” there is a third possibility: sheltered and brainwashed and hasn’t yet encountered enough of the real world to see through the lies that have been drilled into his head since before his earliest memories were formed.
It’s an important distinction, because if you treat people in that category the same way you treat people who are knowingly and willfully fascist, then you’re just going to mash their “confirmation bias” button and send them harder to the right.
I’d say if he’s in his early twenties, there’s a good chance it has more to do with “ignorance” rather than “malice.” And ignorance, unlike malice, is redeemable. But he’s not going to open his eyes if you’re throwing sand in them.
