People who were led into following the Nazi regime, believing in the dogma, and committing atrocities in the name of hatred of "other" during WWII - were not mentally ill.

People who are committing atrocities now in the name of hatred of "other" are not mentally ill. Only 22% of mass shootings in the USA were committed by the mentally ill. The other 78% were NOT mentally ill. They acted out of hate and fear of "other." Those acts were driven by people of influence, who led them to the hatred and fear with words, actions, or a combination of both.

You will never convince me that anyone in a normal state of mind murders in cold blood. A dysfunctional brain can causes evil actions. One may hypothesize but to state a mass murderer is normal but evil is hiding the truth, IMHO.
