(Non-sexual) Who would have it the easiest (hypothetically) ?

Who would have an easier time changing their lifestyle?

One of hitler’s Nazis? Or Nazi youth?

Social indoctrination/ brain washing

OR

a drug addict?

Self induced/ chemical intoxication

why or why not

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

A drug addict would have it the easiest in changing the lifestyle. Because he/she knows that what he/she did or is doing is bad, if there is the will to change themselves.

They know they are doing bad things.

As for the Nazis. It will be a very very difficult to change their lifestyle. As the foundation on which their whole mentality is shaped by the education system is shaken to the core.

You cannot make a person change his/her perspective regarding something if they ardently believe it to be in a certain way. Hardcore religious people type.

No matter how much you show them the other side of the coin, they will always find some excuse to revert back to the logic they have been embedded with since their childhood.

Of course exceptions are there, but the chance is very low. Especially for the Nazis.

This answer helps clarify a major lot!

dependency is more insidious than indoctrination of masses...

an addicted is actually addicted... many soldiers among the ranks of these dictatorships are there not convinced but coerced, which is why many and plenty just decided to quit

an addiction, you cannot just quit it one day (not in general, lol)

I would think it would be easier to return someone to normal that was a victim of social indoctrination/ brain washing, assuming that is what you are asking. I chose this because you would be returning them to their natural state, whereas intoxication is the normal state for and addict.

Hard to say since both are the result of stupidity, and stupidity usually prevents people from changing their ways to smarter perspectives.

Well said!
