    I don’t. Who would? This sounds like the plan of an evil dictator, a deranged cult leader, or a cartoon supervillain.

      PonyOfWar made a good point in pointing out that Nazis were re-educated and had their ideology censored. I believe it’s generally still censored today in Germany.

      (I’d have linked the comment, but I don’t know how, lol)

        Telling someone that murder is bad and why it’s bad would just be “education”. “Re-education” would mean holding someone against their will and forcing them to believe that murder is bad wether they understand why or not.
