"Well what if it was actually something different huh? Didn't think about that, did ya?"

Being a nazi, as opposed to black or jewish, is an ideological choice and not a question of race. That choice is a choice were you decide to pursue violent means in order to exterminate those of other races. Do you think a person pursuing genocide should be stopped? If you do, what do you propose should happen when they oppose being stopped?
If you grew up in a racist household and that's all you knew, is that still your fault? I'm genuinely asking what you think about a child that's been indoctrinated into that lifestyle.
i mean it's basically a trolley problem. whether or not we blame someone who was born into naziism, at some point we have to stop them before they hurt others. and if the nazis are armed and organized, we start running out of peaceful ways to stop them.
It's not that persons fault at all, but I think you're making a mistake here in making a systemic question into an individual. We can recognize that no person is inherently "evil" (though I hate to use that word, I'm just lacking for words), but also recognize that the person is a member of an ideological group that is, and as long as the person is a member of said group, they're opposed due to the fact that they are working towards genociding minorities.
I will respond to you with what I said to another person regarding whether we should have sympathy for southern slaveowners
“I was just raised to kill Jews im an innocent wholesome bean”
Yeah that’s bullshit. Stop making up nonsense
You're right, let's round all the "nazis" up and shoot them.
So you think we shouldn't have fought the Nazis? You still won't answer the question
If I'm raised in a cult and taught all my life to hunt and kill you is that ok with you because it's not my fault that I was born into that situation?
